The girls also had a bang-up picnic, and those White caps with a red OHS were sold. At the last basketball game the girls repeated a stunt done several years ago with red and white cards. These were held above the girls' heads to form letters to Welcome the opponents and to cheer the home team. 27

Home Ee Club In case you're Wonderin'-all those domesticated-lookingf?J people run- ning around are Home Ec clubbers. Midge Woodward has been their presi- dent this year, with Jean Cavanaugh, Mary Ann Dougherty, Mary Cunico, and Eileen Chalus helping her out as vice-president, treasurer, and secretary respectively. Midge says that Home Ec had quite an initiation this year-probably last fall you saw all the gals chugging around pale-faced and minus all trinkets, and Wearing pigtails with big green crepe paper bows. Later in the year the girls gave their annual May formal, though this year it became the Spring formal , since it was held on April 26. Decorat- ing was done in pastel shades, with a false ceiling of yellow and blue. Music Was supplied by Billy Waite's orchestra, with Norma Bridwell singing. Punch fit was actually good! ! IJ was served from a table in the West end of the gym. A very good dance. CI had fun.J Home Ee club this year has had a fairly active and very successful season. 26

We were a little incredulous, and so he told us that they also played volleyball and basketball and ate at their meetings, which were held the first Monday night of every month.
