HOMECOMING HOP October 14 was the day we engaged Tech in our Homecoming game. We were all very happy when Pulaski emerged victorious, 7-3, our first homecoming victory in many years. In the course of events preceding, we elected Rosalia Parry as Homecoming queen. She chose Neil Worden for her King. The King and Queen reigned at the hop, held on Saturday, October 15. Bobbie Ray's band supplied the music. This being our first Homecoming victory in five years, a large crowd was present at the hop. Due to the victory, everyone celebrated. A very good time was had by all. Our whole hearted gratitude for the successful events in 1949 was expressed in the Thanksgiving Day Program. The program was made up of very effective tableau and the singing of hymns by the a cappella choir. The tableau depicted the type of Thanksgiving Day had by the fortunate and less fortunate people. Another, represented the people of foreign lands. One of the most effective tableaux was a representation of the student body, graduates, and our championship football team. The whole program was narrated by Rose Koss and Bob Kolp. This program left the student body with a feeling of gratitude and thankfulness in their hearts. THANKSGIVING PROGRAM YW, ,. ,, 1. .. - ,, .

CLUBS AT WORK CAMERA CRAFT Students interested in photography are eligible to join the Camera Craft Club, meeting Thursdays under the direction of Miss Ruth Manion. One Thursday the entire group meets: the next week a small group works in the dark room. The club is designed to instruct the beginner in the fundamentals of pho- tography. In the recent club election Ierome Szymanski was elected president, Iames F. Pasterski vice-president, and Ioy Shanks secretary-treasurer. Members of the club are learning the fundamentals of pic- ture-taking, developing, printing, and enlarging. In the near future plans are being made to enter numerous contests in which members will prepare their own prints up to the final step of mounting. HOME ECONOMICS The main objective of the Home Economics Club, under the direction of Miss Marie Poundstone, is to keep well informed on the newest ideas in Home Economics. During the first semester of the year the club is very busy working on its biggest project - their Christmas Sale. The proceeds of this sale are used to purchase equipment for the department. Some of the other projects which the club has undertaken this year are the annual Mothers' Day Tea and making scrapbooks for the Children's Hospital. The club also engages many well-known speakers who dwell on subjects which are of interest to the members. HOME NURSING The Home Nursing Club is sponsored and paid for by the Red Cross. This club, under the supervision of Mrs. Lewis, meets in two groups. The first group meets on a Tuesday. and the second meets on a Thursday. The semester consists of two courses. The first course is: Home Care of Sick. and the second course is: Mother and Baby Care and Family Health. After completing the two courses each member receives a certificate from each course. The club's main objectives are: 1. Personal Readiness to Meet Every Day Problems : 2. When Sickness Invades the Home : and 3. Understanding Child Growth and Development. Miss Mohr heads this club. LIFE SAVING In order to improve their technique and knowledge of life saving and swimming, the energetic swimmers of the Life Saving Club have been working hard Tuesdays during the eighth hour. Some of the fundamentals learned in this course are breaks. carries, and approaches. All these are necessary to be fit for life guard duty. There are about sixty boys taking this course, most of whom will be life guards this summer. The Life Saving Club was started about four years ago and has helped many a boy get a good job during the summer months. Any boy with a little swimming ability, and who is willing to work, is welcome to join the club. RADIO The Radio Club is a very excellent organization for boys who are interested in it. Students who have spare time and like radio work and code - which is needed in jobs like radio operators for the police department or army - hear radio construction talks and movies on similar activities. You may find that many boys that were members of this Club at Pulaski High are now using this experience in earning a living. Mr. George Winkler is the sponsor of the Radio Club. STAGE CRAFT When the time comes to hand out bouquets, let the unsung heroes behind the scenes - our stage crew - be first in line. It is they. who, in the final analysis. are responsible for a successful production. In their hands rest the failure or success of the Spring Concert, class plays. noon hour entertainments, and special auditorium programs familiar to everyone. On the job all the time. they insure a smooth running, precisely ex- ecuted program. The backstage boys perform their duties silently and efficiently, always eager to please. Such service is always appreciated when time is precious. Take a bow, boys - you really deserve it. STRING QUARTETTE The String Quartette is composed of studengsfgvsrith consider- able musical experience. The purpose of the organization is to familiarize the students with string music for a quartette which is not played in the orchestra. The four who participated are Marilyn Stein, cello: Rita Korpal, viola: Darlene Krause, violin: and Iohn Marsh, violin. The group is directed by Mr. Niefer. These students specialize in the works of Haydn, Mo- zart, and Beethoven. This type of music is a distinct form differ- ing from the orchestral type. It opens a new field and demands exceptional skill from each one respectively on his own part. The group plays for noon hour programs and activities outside of school as well.
