The purpose of the program is to pro- mote thrift among the student body and to expose the students to banking procedure with the hope that the savings idea will carry over into adult- hood. In the picture above appear the cashiers and assistant cashiers chosen from each of the home- rooms. It was they who received the student de- posits every Friday during the activity period and turned them over to the head cashiers. The bank- ing program received fine comment in the columns of Educational Thrift Gazette, a school banking publication. Y xttt Wil Rosemarie Remely, Shirley Shaw, and Sue Holmes are making their regular bank day deposit to Arline Edwards, head cashier, and Eugenia Truchon, assistant head cashier, as Mr. Kovalski, coordinator of the program, looks on.

Early in the fall the officers and the advisor, Mrs. Killian, attended the Of- ficers, Training Conference held at Key- stone Junior College. To raise money for their projects the girls sold candy and cakes. During the Christmas season the members of the club collected used toys, clothing, games. and books. These to- gether with woolen mittens which each girl made and other articles which the girls purchased were wrapped attractively in about 75 packages and taken to the St. Stanislaus Orphanage. At Easter the girls bought candy and filled 4-0 Easter baskets for the children at the orphanage. The club was commended by the State Y.lVI.C.A. for its projects and was awarded a banner for fulfilling the requirements of the discussion course known as Teen Talks. The president, Shirley Kishbaugh, attended a Y.lVI.C.A. dinner where she gave a talk reviewing the club's activities for the year. In the picture directly above, the Tri- Hi-Y officers-Bettie Hutchins, Shirley Kishbaugh, Donna Heffner, and Loretta Madl-sum up the Teen Talk discussions.

Newspaper Club The Newspaper Club completed its second success- ful year of operation with Mr. Kovalski as the faculty advisor. Again six issues of the popular school paper, c'Northwest News in Reviewf, were published with the demand usually exceeding the supply. Although the production of the paper was the primary purpose of the organization, the members spent a consider- able part of their time making programs for all the school activities. Membership in the club gave the students practical experience in setting up and per- forming various types of work.
