S. S. S. Girls Spread Sunshine Organized in 19(X), the Sun- shine Society is statewide and consists of many local chapters. In 1940 a chapter was organized in P .H. S. under the sponsor- ship of Miss Hass. Jean Lara- more, president, worked with Miss Hass in carrying on S. S. S. work in its second year in Lin- coln High. Tea dances, sponsored by this organization, were held every other Thursday in the gymnas- ium. This year the girls gave two parties for their parents: one for their mothers and an in- formal party for their dads. About thirty girls chose some- woman to be their ideal lady. The S. S.
