RODEO — 1932 25 English and Journalism 1929 1932 OU KNOW, I thought when I first got to hear at this here school, I would be brung better up, especially in grammar an English, but I find after my freshman year I ain’t so hot. All I done was to study sentences or somethin like that. I had to read a few books like Treasure Island and the like but that ain’t much. I gave up all hopes and went back for the farm. 1930 I’m a little better this year than last year. I’ve done a little work in composition and read some classics (shakespeare and the like) but I still got very much to learn. Been reading for book reports also. 1931 Been reading American Lit. as we juniors calls them things. I still remember a little poem; goes like this: “So live that when thy summons comes to join etcetera” (I got that, too). American Lit. ain’t so bad but them seniors say English Lit. is better, much bet- ter. More book reports this year than any other two put together. Too bad. English literature, with its study of the poems and prose of famous English authors, reveals the last of the English classes. Book reports are given to cultivate in the student a love for good broad reading. Journalism is naturally an outgrowth of the English department. In this behalf the RODEO staff makes a study of the principles of journalism with the desired end of pub- lishing each month a school newspaper and for the last month an enlarged edition, or I he annual. George Swertelle of the Record- Tribune office, gave an interesting talk on the making of a paper at one meeting of the Rodeo staff and later on in the year, invited the staff to visit the Record office to witness the different maohines which make the Rodeo. As an incentive for class work, editorial and feature stories were written in English three and four classes. Much discussion over the adoption of a standard senior ring also caused an inspiration for students to write short arguments on this subject. The authors of the various articles printed in the Rodeo were Jesse Knoll, Betty Eiselein, Lois Hul- stone, Archie Rathbun, Charles Huppe, Ida Wickland, and Luella Hamilton. Two people who helped very much in the making of the annual were Jane Snyder, who assisted in securing ads, and Natalie Evans, who drew the art work.

RODEO — 1932 27 GIRL PRESERVES ITH the hope of teaching girls to face life squarely a new club, known as the Girl Reserves, this year came into being. So skill- fully has Miss Williams, the sponsor, man- aged the events of the year that the thirty- eight girls who belong to the group have derived not only benefit but much pleasure as well. At the first meeting of the club, which was given over to teaching the purpose of a Girl Reserves organization, it was learned that the code of each girl was a very worthy one to try to live up to. Each Girl Reserve takes for her code this aim: As a Girl Reserve I will try to be: gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable, and sincere at all times. Such topics as hobbies, self-govern- ment, and talks in recognition of special days in the year were presented to the group by the committee in charge of that particular meeting. Parties? They were not missing in this group. One October day the girls gathered some sandwiches and whatever else mother’s larder provided and, taking as guests the high school faculty members, hiked north of town for their supper. Then one night in Feb- ruary half of the girls dressed as boys, se- cured their best girl friends from among the other half of the club, and betook themselves to the gymnasium, where dancing was largely the order of the evening—dancing and the delicious lunch that was served toward the close of the party. As a fitting introduction to spring vacation on Wednesday, March 16, the girls had a theatre party at the American Theatre, which terminated in general good time at the Eiselein home. The public per- formance of the club was an open meeting in which the officers for the coming yeai were installed. The officers for next year are as follows: president, Matilda DeBord; vice- president, Mary Syblon secretary, Jean Eng- strom; treasurer, Elizabeth Johnston; pro- gram chairman, Melba Mitchell; service chairman, Lois Hulstone; social chairman, Jane Snyder; publicity chairman, Dorothy Mae Bunker; music chairman, Nancy Lees. The popularity of the club is shown by the fact that, when it was put to a vote as to whether or not there should be a Girl Reserve Club next year, the girls were unanimously in favor of having one.
