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.

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

HI-Y CLUB Despite the forced economy and ration created by the war, Rochester's Hi-Y club moved through one of its most successful years. Under the able guidance of the sponsor, Mr. Purdue, and the president, Bill Cessna, the club was able to maintain its usual high standards and progress through 1943 and '44, making a generous contribution to both social and community life. Other officers of the club were: Eugene Humphrey, vice- presidentg Bill Huxley, secretaryg and Harley Denton, treasurer. Aside from near abandonment of bean suppers due to increased rationing, the organization and members proceeded as in previous years with an envied list of social activities, among which were: a dance, scavenger hunt, an all day Y. M. C. A. conference, and the usual show at the fall festival. Formal and rough initia- tions inaugurated two crops of scums into the organi- zation. Community wise, too, were the members of the Hi-Y club. They donated S25 and the services of some of their members to the new School Door Canteen. GIRL RESERVES A full schedule of activities was carried out by the Girl Reserves this year under the leadership of Miss Nora Fowler and the following ofiicers: president, Nedra Zimmerman, vice-president, Jane Anne Smithg secretary, Engrid Peterson, treasurer, Kathleen Mc- Dougleg and program chairman, Phyllis Graham. The season opened with the usual formal and rough initiation of the new members. During the course of the year the girls held their bi-weekly community sup- pers. At Thanksgiving baskets were distributed to needy families, and the club sponsored a dance to raise funds for this. At Christmas the Hi-Y and G. R. clubs had a joint partygiand in February the girls en- joyed a theater party. 2, The club sent representatives to the Girl Reserve Conference at Gary in March. The girls gave a contribution to the new Youth Canteen and made a service Hag for all the Rochester High School boys in the service. ll 3225
