Sunshine Society All the girls of Roosevelt belong to the Sunshine Society. in which better citi- zenship is the goal. October 8 was organization day for the Sunshine Society and as is the tradi- tion, all Sophomore girls were initiated. The society in collaboration with the Braves Council planned a dance that was known as the Soc Hop . It was held in the Lincoln Gym, October 20. The second semester a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance was given where the table was turned, and the girls took the initiative in the common courtesies. This dance was held in the Staggs Gym on March 4. At Christmas the tradition is for the girls to go caroling and take baskets con- taining iruit and canned goods to cheer the shut-ins and old folks. One of the services that the society does is to sell candy. cokes, potato chips. etc., at noon to add variety to the cold lunches of some of the students. Each summer a camp is held at Tecumseh tor Sunshine girls. We usually send two girls so that the following year the leaders may have a better knowledge of the meaning of Sunshine and may help other members to strive toward its goal.

Walt Fishel Secretary-Treasurer Melvin Allen President Braves Council The boys' organization of Roosevelt made a change this year. It was formerly and unofficially known as Hi-Y but due to its organization was reverted to Braves Council. Their new motto is as follows: The purpose of the Braves Council is to create a better school both for those of us here and those who follow. This we shall do through Christian living. clean speech, good morals and clean sportsmanship. At one meeting Ted Tomlin, a former member now in the Navy, spoke on his experience in the service. Another speaker was Mr. Gillespie who spoke on Making Choices . The Braves Council with help from the girls' organization sponsored a debate where the faults of the high school girl and boy were discussed. They were also co-sponsor of the Soc Hop held in October. The Hobo Hop in April was a comeback to the Sadie Hawkins Dance which the Sunshine held in March. It, too, was a success.
