RODEO — 1932 19 Art Club 0 PROVIDE an outlet for members’ creative ideas and to make the members of the club more alert to those principles of art which are applicable to everyday life, has been the worthy aim of the Art Club. For the last two years this club has been under the very capable sponsorship of Miss Edna Thomas. All who are interested in the work have always been eligible for membership to the Art Club. This year the time set aside for meeting was on Monday at 3:45. The variety of types attempted by the club were such that they might appeal to people interested in different phases. These types include pencil and pen-and-ink sketch- es, paintings on glass, scenes done in paints and pastels, wall panels, lamp shades, small vases and bowls modeled in clay. In addition to the work done during meetings, members of the Art Club made the backdrop for the oper- etta given by the Boys’ Glee Club and the placecards for the athletic banquet. The main social event of the club was a Christmas party, given on December 16, at the home of Margaret Johnston.

RODEO — 1932 21 CABINET PEAKING of the High School Cabinet, Mrs. Hustone, its ad- viser, said, “It is the medium through which the students may express themselves unto the faculty.” The Cabinet was launched by Mrs. Hul- stone, and it has sailed through a sea of ex- cellent programs, pep meetings, special con- vocations, etc. For the first trip into untried seas in the history of Roundup High School the venture was unquestionably successful. The members of the Cabinet were chosen with an eye to their ability, fitness, and ca- pacity for filling their posts. The senior, junior, sophomore, and fresh- man presidents, James Brown, David Com- stock, Charles Huppe, and Roland Ortmayer, respectively, composed a third of the Cabinet. Betty Eiselein and Meredith Watts, cheer leaders, add two more to the membership. The representatives, elected from the classes as a whole, are Helen Balock and Leigh Mac- Arthur, seniors; Doloros Herzog and Roger Ortmayer, juniors; Erma Beever, sophomore; and Veneitah Havlik, freshman. October 12 marked the successful debut of the Cabinet. On this day it presented be- fore the assembly a highly entertaining pro- gram, observing the discovery of American by Columbus 440 years ago. From that time on, each of the important days on the calendar was observed in an ap- propriate way. For each program a commit- tee of three cabinet members was chosen to have charge. However, people from the stud- ent body at large often took part in readings, songs, dances, and talks. The Armistice Day program, commemorating the most import- ant date in modern history, was one of the most effective ever given in the career of Roundup High School. A very appropriate program, observing the birthday of our Lord, was presented before the assembly on De- cember 18. This marked the last performance given under the capable direction of the Cabinet for the year 1931. Given before the assembly on February 12 was a program honoring the birthday of Lincoln, preserver of the Union. February 22 was the 200th anniversary of the birth of “The Father of our Country,” George Washington. Martha and George Washington, ably impersonated, were the guests of honor. Before them were danced several clever minuets and Virginia reels, which were only a few numbers from an excellently planned program. One of the successful enterprises of the Cabinet was the publication of the pep book- lets. The Cabinet under the able direction of Mrs. Hulstone, originator and sponsor of the idea, made pep booklets. These booklets con- tained pep songs, yells, patriotic and popular airs for special programs, sportsmen’s code, spectators’ code, and general information concerning Roundup High School. They were bound with heavy maroon stippled paper and were very attractively arranged within. They sold for only ten cents a piece, and in less than an hour on the morning of December 18 the Cabinet had disposed of their entire supply of about two hundred sixty-five book- lets. These booklets no doubt did their part in making possible a series of the peppiest pep meetings that were liberally sprinkled throughout the football and basketball sea- sons. Much credit for their success is also due to our cheer leaders, Betty Eiselein and Meredith Watts. At the end of the basketball season the Cabinet sponsored an athletic banquet at which the nine basketball boys, who took part in the tournaments, were the guests of the Athletic Association. It was held April 6 at the Methodist Gymnasium. The school colors of maroon and white were in evidence on the decorations and place cards, for which the Art Club must be thanked. The Cabinet made its last official appear- ance when it sponsored the annual May Day program given May 6, Patrons’ Day. It did much toward adding color and spirit to the crowning of the Queen of the May. The pres- ent Cabinet has expressed its hopes that there may be other Cabinets in years to come to whose achievements and successes they will eagerly look forward.
