GLEE CLUBS If you are walking dawn the hall some Wednesday morning about 9:00 A. M., you will hear music! It could be the mixed glee club, girls ' glee club, or some small group of either, rehearsing. Around December there were o number of angels darting in and out, and the air literally rang with carols. The m.embers of the glee clubs presented programs for the Ruritan club, the Parent- Teachers Association, and Woman ' s club. In the school, they presented a Gay Nineties Re- view, a Father ' s Night program, and participated in numerous chapel programs. They chose as their president Eugene Hunt, vice president Carrie Forrest, and secretary-treasurer, Esther White. GOOD ENGLISH CLUB The purpose of this club was to promote better English among the sophomore students. In order to learn better English, they had debates, gave plays, wrote poetry, essays, and made speeches. The sophomores co-operated very nicely with the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Margaret Robinson. The officers were: President — Barbara Hunt, Vice-President — Ruth Jackson, Secretary — Delmo Presson, Treasurer — George Hicks. The representatives from each class were: first period — Alton Davis, third period — Edith Carmines, fifth period — Betty Riggins. HOME ECONOMICS A stitch in time saves nine and Good cooks always burn themselves are the slogans the Home Economics club used this year. Almost every girl abided by one of the two rules, because they were either sewing or cooking. The girls also contributed their bit for the war effort by making bedroom slippers for some of the wounded boys. Every girl made a pair, and everyone turned in a good job. Under the guidance of the sponsors, Mrs. Louise Routten and Miss Betty Blackwell, and their leaders, Janet Broce, Frances Cook, Ruth Jackson and Bethany Forrest, the girls came through on top.
