,Vx '- Q' QQQXMO Qt N l ! l Girls Social Huur What activity ticket's good tonight'?l' How many times that one question is asked of members of the Social Hour Committee at the dances after the games. Of course, selling tickets at the dances isn't the Girls' Social Hour Committee's only duty. They also have charge of the cloak room. Forti- fied with straight pins in one hand and check stubs in the other, the com- mittee bravely waits for the doors to open. Then comes the stampede. Coats and jackets Hy thick and fast, as the girls run back and forth des- perately trying to arrange them in order. Special instructions go with practically every coat or sweater. This year's president was Lorena DeSanctis, and vice-president was Earlene Boyd, with Betty Walker as secretary-treasurer. Other members include Shirley Arter, Sara Bartley, Peggy Boice, Carolyn Brady, Catherine Edwards, Mary Kay Ellingston, Miriam Hamilton, Betty Howell, Helen Mclntosh, Irma Padres, Josephine Starker, and Shirley Talmage. The following girls are also on Miss Calanthe Brazelton's Dean's Com- mittee and have given an hour's service each day at the school: Connie Fish, Pat Ingle, Mary Jo Lemas, June Mikell, Marilyn Myerson, and Mil- ford Wilson, These girls deserve a great deal of credit as they have done an excellent job and have not received recognition other than the fact that the Dean's Office is one of the most smoothly run in the school. 136 2. ull

The Frencxh Eluh 1. xx La Lique Francaise has spent a very successful year. With Miss Flor- ence Brazelton as adviser, Jack Vosskuhler as president, Sally Schminke as vice-president, and Betty Evans as secretary, it couldn't have been other- wise. The purpose of the club was to promote interest in the French language and to aid the needy French people. Meetings were held every third Thurs- day of the month. Most of each meeting was carried on in French. The initiation of new members held in November was secret, but the refreshments were spoken of, and only in complimentary tones. The majority of the initiates had studied or were studying French under the club's adviser. However, a few had studied it in other schools or not at all. During the January meeting, Miss Brazelton translated a letter received from a family in the high Alps. This letter described the necessity of more food, clothing, and money. By March a package containing non-perishable food, money, and clothing was sent to help them out. Several French movies were given during the school year, such as travelogues, the Paris Ballet, and History of the Violin, and French plays similar to 'tMayerling. All in all, the French Club managed to be both busy and entertaining. Vive La Ligue Francaise! 135

S Bn 5' Snlzial Hnur These are the people Who, together With the Girls' Social Hour Com- mittee, are responsible for the success of the social functions of T. H. S. They take your money at the door of the cafeteria when there's a dance being held. They hand you a ticket and pass you into the inner sanctum. They take tickets at the door, and rotate half hour stints at the cloakroom during the social hours after the games. They organize committees for decorating the Senior prom, the Junior prom, the Chronicle dance, and other formal affairs. They have complete charge of the food and drink concession. This year, with our oversized student body, they have had a very difficult job, and deserve much credit for their efficiency and their original ideas. T. D. Romero was their sponsor, as usual. Lee Carey was president, Tom Fridena, vice-president, and John Nevvburn, secretary- treasurer. 137
