We have had many diflciculties to overcome this year. Some of these are the shortage of paper and of metals for enpfravingz Our photographer was drafted into the army before all the pictures had been taken, and we had to take the remainder of the pictures ourselves. Having! overcome these difficulties, we are rather proud to present to you a picture album record of your 1944 school year. lf it falls a little short of your expectations, blame the war instead of us. ln the picture are the following' people: I l'l'lfIl l.lxl 'li: liill iloxxiis I.. , -1. .. , lfiwl Nlilrln-ll I A ii F him' l'bxllis iivtilixnn ei 'lm' lldiwlll Iiilliv .Xilqiiiiwn Mali- Ilnri: r l l'I'lfIi llllilllz l HXYICIC I ICI- I': . -I 1 .mllniii Ni li i fi Yirliiiiri llfwivlii lion R4-ml :wlni llnqlit lHXX'I li lilf'Il'I Xldlgfiii-1 Xlilli-'il i.uli-nr limit l' 'Hx f.n'lin:in l.mi- .Xmir Smith

This club, a home economics club, was org'anized and sponsored by Miss Dana Johnson, the home economics instructor. A committee was appointed to select a name, and the one submitted by Helen Kindigf was approved by the committee and accepted by the club members. The name is I. W, W. M. I., or It,s What We Make It. Meanwhile the constitution committee, consisting of a representative from each of the four classes, drew up a constitution, which was accepted as read by Mary K. Moore, chairman. The one requirement for membership is that the applicant either has taken or is taking at least one year of home economics. Immediately after organizing, I. W. W. M. I. was afliliated with the National Home Economics Club Council. Officers for the first year were Engrid Peterson, president: Kathleen McDoug:le, vice-president, Mary K. Moore, secretary, and Mae Van Duyne, treasurer. During this first year members of the club sponsored many activities. Zebra pins, as favors at basketball games, were made and sold by the girls. The members on the nutrition project sponsored five luncheons and sold chocolate and plain milk during the lunch hour. The February HHoliday'l dance was sponsored by the club, and post- ers on nutrition were placed in the hallways. The club has proved lively and ambitious during its first year, and it has shown itself worthy of occupying a permanent place among other R. H. S. org'anizations. Club membership for the tirst year includes the following.: girls: Seniors: Frances Bringham, Lola Ekblaw, Lois Gordon, Mary K. Moore, Virginia Schindler, Jo Ann Wright, Geraldine Schafer, Mae Van Duyne, Betty Zartman. Juniors: Barbara Becker, Helen Kindigr, Kathleen McDougle, Engrrid Peterson, Mary Irvine, Ruth Schroeder. Sophomores: Rose Mary Ault, Mary Kathryn Beck, Virginia Cleland, Nola Cunning- ham, Kathryn Felix, Loretta Gordon, Pat Hoffman, Pearley Johnson, Suzanne Kaye, Ruth Evelyn Kuhn, Patricia McCalla, Delores Murphy, Marjorie Newman, Georgia Ann Snyder, Mary Ruth Steininger, Madelyn Thompson, Jean Van Lue, Beth Quacken- bush.
