For the third consecutive year Miss Drown has directed a Rowe winner in. the district one act play contest and for the first time in Rowe’s history, a winner in the County finals. This year’s play entitled “Life With Willie,” was judged the winner in a group of four district plays at Kingsville on March 13 and was also given first place in a group of four district winners at Jefferson March 20. “Life With Willie” portrays a typical family scene in which Willie is trying to prepare a speech for the P. T. A. program that evening. As all comedies have a happy ending so “Life With Willie” finds all is well as the curtain falls. The cast includes Mr. Taylor, the father, Junior Ashby; Mrs. Taylor, the mother, Marion Cole; Willie, Bryce Bryant; Susie, his sister, Shirley Blood; Henry, his brother, David Jacobs; Janice Carter, Willie’s girl friend, Jeanne Conway.

As usual the organization conducted both the roll call within our own school and the Senior Red Cross call in East Conneaut. Among other projects were making favors for the hospital at Christmas, filling gift boxes for foreign lands, adopting a family for which a happy Yuletide was provided, hemming ninty towels for the British War Relief and making bags for our armed forces. No doubt the main undertaking was knitting an afghan for the soldiers. As the year drew near its end, tiny Red Cross nurse dolls made from yarn were sold. Officers presiding at regular meetings were president, Richard Wheeler; vice-president, Marian Cole; and treasurer, Emerson Page. 31

FRENCH ....CLUB LE TRIANGLE MYSTIQUE The members of Le Triangle Mystique should by now be experts in that French Bingo game—Jouer. All looked forward to times when members entertained the club in their homes, and programs including French songs, plays, games, and pertinent reports, and last but not least, refreshments were enjoyed by all. We’ll remember Virginia and Flora struggling with the French alphabet in Anagrams and those loud choruses coming in on the “Marchons, marchons” part of La Marseillaise. Meetings were held once a month with Ruth Scully as president; Junior Ashby, vice-president; Grace Hall, treasurer; and Harriett Smith, secretary. The sponsor is Mrs. Ruth Kitchen, and Miss Frances Woodworth joined our meetings. FRENCH CM B First Row: Ruth Scully. Virginia Spencer, Katherine Bristol, Dorothy K. Browne, Mildred Turner.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB Taking a prominent part in activities this year was the High School Boys’ Industrial Arts Club under Mr. Hopper’s direction. During weekly meetings the organization enjoyed making various interesting projects of wood, metal, and plastic, one of the outstanding being archery sets. Some of the twenty-six members also proudly exhibit hunting knives of their own construction. Kenneth Roberts, the president, conducted the business meetings; Albert Hubbard was elected vice-president, and Omar Kirk acted as secretary and treasurer. 30

LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, under the direction of Miss Frances Woodworth, was a newcomer this year. Members met every Tuesday to learn how to shelve and catalog books, and care for library equipment. They exchanged reports on interesting books and poetry. Featured—and especially enjoyed—were those luscious noontime feasts held in the library. The members gave an unusual assembly of skits, stories and songs based on popular books. Keys were presented to all charter members who passed a test in library management. CANDY SALES The sight of two senior girls (with sandwich in hand) dashing madly down the hallway at 12:12 is a common one in Rowe. The seniors; Eloise Evans, Patty Nelson, Lois Williams, Ruth Scully, Muriel Quinn, Marion Cole, La Verna Helmbrecht, Mona Ward, Vera Blakeslee, and Doris Bunnell will long remember swallowing their lunches practically whole in order to wait on the crowds at the candy counter. The collective “sweet tooth” of Rowe’s students has resulted in the sale of over five thousand candy bars. In addition to the work of selling, the girls assisted by Mr. Deevers counted the money and took inventory of the stock.
