REC HALL 3 f Wreckin' the Rec Hall Since December in 1943, the high school has been renting the l. O. O. F. hall for their recreation hall. When this club was first organized, names were suggested by the students. The entire student body voted on the names pre- sented, and the title, 'iRedskin Roost, was given to the club, but by popular usage the name has been changed to 'tThe Club or the Rec Hall. Every Friday, under the guidance of chaperons, dancing, ping-pong, and coke are enjoyed by the students. A program has been arranged whereby each organ- ization will sponsor one night a year at the club. These dances have been some of our best. The Sophomore girls, with the help of Miss McClelland, sponsored a hilarious t'Hard Times Party, with sandwiches, apples, and pop for refreshments. The Service Squad also gave the students a night of fun with Bingo. A dance called 'Zluke Box Saturday Nite was given by the members of the Girls' T Club. All these dances were huge successes. The club has given the high school stu- dents a great deal of pleasureg also a place to go under proper supervision. The students wish to thank Mrs. Bukow- sky, Mr. Phipps, and the P.-T. A., for helping them establish this club. 44 41 D
