This year the membership was boosted to ninety, The purpose of the society is best expressed by its creed, which follows: With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer, and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. Many special events were added this year. February brought a party for the Dads and a Breakaway party to which the girls invited the boys. In March the mothers of the Sunshine girls were honored at a banquet. There were meetings held once a month. The financial situation was taken care of by the sale of holly wreaths at Christmas and selling pop at basketball games. The proht from the pop was divided with the Hi-Y boys. The district convention was held at Windfall, and the state convention at Battle Ground, near Lafayette. The officers are: President .......... iiiii ......,.........

IUNIOB PLAY The Junior Play, Green Stockings, a Samuel French production. was given March 20, under the direction of Miss Glass. The plot dealt with a custom whereby an elder sister was compelled to wear green stockings at the wedding ofa younger sister if she herself happened to be unmarried or unbretrothed. Celia Faraday CAlice Werlingl, when the time came for her to wear them a third time at the wedding of her youngest sister CJoyce Byerlyy who is engaged to Honorable Robert Carver fLaVern LeekaJ, rebelled. She therefore invented a sweet- heart and excused his non-appearance by saying that after she became engaged he was obliged to sail for the War in South Africa. She was even induced by her sisters to write him a letter. The letter, which she thought she had burned, was mailed by her sisters and was received by an officer in the army QTom Hunterj. who turned up shortly under an assumed name. The play was enlivened by such characters as William Faraday, the father fHarold Scherrylq Evelyn Frenchard fWilma Brickleyl, and Madge Rockingham tMarjorie Hiserj, two married sistersg a humorous aunt from Chicago, Mrs. Chisholm Faraday CGretchen Kingjg Martin, the butler tRobert Sowardslg James Raleigh, an interested bachelor Uunior Urshellg and elderly Admiral Grice tRoy Busheej.

BEAR FACTS Center-John Spuller. Seated-Betty Kay, Ruth Kincaid, Wanda Stoneburner, Jessie Ncuenschwander, John Ellis McMullen, Joan Hoover, Miss Eley.

P S A T P A E F R F The paper staff issued the Bear Facts monthly this year because of the paper shortage. Once it was even called the Blue Facts owing to the fact that nothing but blue paper ar- rived for us to use. The staff also sponsored the first dance in the school gym for the year-the Superman Swing January 23, following the Liberty basketball game. Joan Hoover was in charge of it and it was a great success. All the money taken in was applied to the Annual fund. Jessie Neuenschwander was editor and John McMullen, the assistant editor. They really had some fun cutting stencils, too. Betty Kay was jokes editor and Ray Springer sports editor. Ray, being on the varsity basketball squad, had an inside on the sports angle. The rest of the commercial class were reporters and typists. Our sponsor was our commercial teacher, Miss Eley, and Miss Glass was our English critic. We thought they cut out lot of jokes. but I guess they knew what was best for the paper. At least it enjoyed quite a large circulation. Thirty-one
