LATIN CLUB OFFICERS Edith Iaslow ...4,..,....,..... Consul Primus Barbara Snyder . . . . .Consul Secundus Barbara Hansen . . . ........ Secretorus Glenora Irwin . . . . . .Quaestor Mrs. Eula Benoit ,,.........,.....,.. Sponsor The Latin Club this year was composed of approximately twenty-fivo members. The pur- pose of the Club was social, as well as informa- tional. Highlighting the charitable activities cf the year was the annual presentation of food and gifts to a needy family which was successfully carried out. The initiation of new members which was held at the beginning of the school year was very amusing to all Northern students as the initiates had to portray various Roman states- men such as Cicero, Cato, Virgil and Caesar for three days during the regular class sessions. Each year the Latin Club presents a service award to a senior boy and girl who have given the most worth-while service to Northern in the way of extra-curricular activities for the past three years. This award was made on Senior Award Night. The two seniors most deserving of this honor was chosen by a committee con- sisting of teachers and Latin Club members. A potluck held in early March at school was one of the last major events of the year. The committee that planned this affair consisted of Carol Anderson, Hazel Beck, Pat Lind and Ioan Harper. Thelma. Buckhalter had charge of the entertainment. Meetings were held once a month and were under the sponsorship of Mrs. Eula Benoit. HEC GIRLS Dorothy Boettcher . . ,..... .... P resident Pat Iewett ........ ....... V ice-President Ioan l-Ioydic ...,.. . . .SecretaryeTreasurer Miss Mary Halsey ................... Sponsor Keeping in step with time, the former Home Economics Club, now named Hec Girls, de- voted many of its activities to the war relief ef- fort. One of the fe a t u r e d projects was the completion of numerous duffle kits made for the boys in service. The club m e m b e r s busied themselves at Christmastime by making Christmas greeting cards to send to service men. This project was completed with the aid of various art students, who were honored at a luncheon. A formal iniation at the beginning of the school year admitted many new members into the club. Several matinee dances, held for the purpose of obtaining funds for the purchase of dining room equipment, proved successful. A few talent shows put on during the lunch hours were benefited by the students as well as the club.
