To face life squarely and to find and give the best are the slogan and purpose respective- ly of the Girl Reserves. The meetings, which were held every other week on a Monday evening, were opened by the singing of Follow the Gleam and the repetition of the Lord ' s Prayer. After the regular business meeting, the program committee presented a speaker or arranged for some other equally en- tertaining and educational program. Each year a scholarship is given by this organ- ization to some deserving senior girl. The mem- bers were active workers in the Needlework Guild. Some needy families were supplied with milk for two months while during the holiday season Christmas baskets were distributed. The largest and most successful undertaking this year was the Autumn Frolic. This event was sponsored by the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves. Com- mittees from both clubs worked on plans many months so that on November 19, 1937, the event went off smoothly. The girls in the club took care of five booths which included a hot dog stand, a fish pond and a Western Union booth. When Old Man Winter wrapped his arm around Pontiac, the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y pro- moted a party for the two clubs. A joyous eve- ning of tobogganing, skating, feasting, and danc- ing resulted. Kathryn Zedick and Cyrene Broberg attended the annual State Girl Reserve Convention which was held at Grand Rapids. All of these projects were carried out under the direction of Miss Waterman, sponsor; and Kathryn Zedick, president. GIRL RESERVES 28

TOMAHAWK Just off the press! The latest news of the Pontiac High School faculty and student body is found in the Tomahawk, bi-weekly school paper. The news reporters go from room to room gathering the latest activities of clubs, homerooms, athletic and dramatic organizations. News most vital and interesting to the greatest number of readers is selected for publication. The paper has many features: gossip columns, poems, and editorials besides its regular news articles. An attempt is made to publish some news of all organizations in the school and to include the names of as many students as possi- ble. The business staff solicits advertisements from Pontiac merchants in order to help finance the paper. Meetings are held after distributions of each issue in order to discover the reaction of the student body to the issue just published, to dis- cuss errors, and to assign articles for the next copy of the paper. Members of the staff must observe certain rules such as: reporting regular- ly to the staff office, attending meetings, and handing in articles punctually. The editorial staff is as follows: Kathryn Glen- nie, editor-in-chief: Drucilla Ransom, associate editor: Sally Jossman and Helen Jackson, co- news editors: Ruth Mitchell, editorial editor: Margaret Jean Hazel ton, feature editor: Mary Eliza- beth Armstrong, in- side paq Esther Anderson, copy editor: Eleanor • ell, headline editor; Kathleen Kinney, exchange editor - Ma rgaret Jane Elliott, club ed- itor; Victor Sutt. up editor; Lor- raine Boice, files.

Through the service of the Hi-Y, the spectators enjoyed each game munching, for all their worth, on the hot roasted double jointed peanuts and luscious candy bars. Many a cold day was endured by these martyrs to serve the enthusiastic onlookers at the games. Then in the middle of November the loud thunder of hammers and lumber filled the boys ' gym and surrounding territory. On investigat- ing, hard working Hi-Y boys were found to be diligently and laboriously constructing many booths for the Autumn Frolic. The Girl Re- serves worked with the Hi-Y to make possible one of the most successful projects this school has yet witnessed. hter cart of the same month, the resi- dents of Battle Creek, Michigan were surprised to find almost a thousand boys wandering about their streets asking millions of questions about everything. It did not take long to discover that these were Hi-Y boys from all over Michigan attending the annual Older Boys Conference. Pontiac High School was represented by nine boys, and what a grand time they had! Sight- seeing, eating, visiting surrounding plants, sleep- ing, and listening to well known men from Michi- gan and nearby states filled their time. Funds provided a scholarship for one boy who was graduated this year. The club was led by Mr. Baldwin. He was assisted by Ivan Kay, first semester president, and George McGregor, second semester presi- dent. Hi-y 29
