-. KAW aaa 'gli 75-'L ?'af:2 SERVICE CLUB ig. :al ' 'ln' X- flf k ' A - President, Joseph Cook Treasurer, Shirley Ammon Secretory, Lois Cuie Advisor, Miss Dorothy Burr The club was organized with the purpose of giving our help whenever we can be useful in welfare or patriotic work, either in the school or in the community. This year our greatest efforts have been devoted to the sale of lfVar Bonds and Stamps. A special drive during the Victory Loan in the fall in- cluded a rally with amateur musicians from students and faculty and a hilarious skit called t'Close Quarters given by members of the club. Total sales up to Christmas vacation were S4,491.95, more than enough to assure our having a plaque placed in Tilton Hospital bearing the name of the school, and showing that We have paid, this year, for a patient's care. Another financial campaign directed by the club was for the National War Fund, to which the school gave Sl00.35. During the autumn We also collected clothing for the Save the Children Federation, and in January we set up a receiving station for the clothing to be sent overseas in the Victory Clothing Campaign. The response to this appeal was particularly gratifying, both in quantity and in quality. Members of the Service Club completed two knitted afghans to give in this drive. 35

NYM 'Q-L f NEWSPAPER STAFF sg, Editor, Ruth Hill Assist. Editors Thereso Piozzi, Phyllis Greenberg Sport Editors Annomorie Yerkes, Richord Buzby Advisor, Mrs, Morion L. Hoycock In September a group of seniors came to the conclusion that the school needed a newspaper. After polling the sentiment of the student body, it was decided to try to put out a mimeographed paper every two weeks. The newspaper was published for the purpose of getting the school news before the students and thereby stimulating student interest in school affairs. It was also used as a medium of developing creative writing. For those actually putting out the paper, it gave a conception of the way a newspaper is made up and it developed judgment in selecting mate- rial to be printed. Much can be done to make our paper better, and it is hoped as its pub- lication continues, more students will participate in its composition. Dolores Douglass, Marian Chant, Mary Yoos, Irene Hlubik, Mabel Edman assisted us in the typing of the newspaper. 34

LES PETITS PAS p RIM I- 9 Wg Q Ei' I 'Elf L Advisor-Miss Edith Burr Les Petits Pas includes all present and former members of the French classes now in high school. The Christmas party was traditional with its carols, midnight supper, and folk-dances. The following program was a travel film showing pictures of rural France, and Mrs. Bennettls very inter- esting talk on Mount St. Mitchel and Rome illustrated by photographs that she had taken on her last visit there. The next guest speaker was a graduate of this high school who had spent several vacations in France, and Whose last experience there was during the winter campaign of 1944-45. We were given some picturesque details and eloquent French from Captain Theodore Shaw. The spring brought a series of dramatic sketches, an outdoor picnic or treasure hunt, and a contribution to relief work in France in cooperation with the Service Club. Live la Re'publique IV! 36
