1944 General House 113 The General House, launched un- der the direction of its competent officers, began its numerous tasks by collecting the yearly dues of ten cents from each student. Not satisfied until their goal of IOOW was reached, the representatives moved on from that painful duty to the plans for Induction Day-the day on which the traditional ceremony of inducting the members of the Students' Association was so effectively carried out. One of the chief accomplishments of the General House this year has been the clean-up campaign. This was success- fully initiated by the committee members by tidying up our main study room and corridors. It was also the General House that sponsored the Bundles for Service- men drive at Christmas. Under the, guidance of Miss Scott, the General House has successfully striven to elevate the standards of R.M.H.S. and to provide interesting activities for its students. It is with full comprehension of the work of the General House, that we extend our sincere thanks and appre- ciation. l

THE LAUREL The work of the Governing Council is unending, yet each new task is accom- plished speedily and energetically. The Council seeks to attain no other goal than to better Memorial and to keep its students happy. Proof enough of the achievement of this goal is a review of the events which have crowded the past year. The members of the Governing Council acted as hostesses, served refresh- ments, and provided entertainment at the Freshman Acquaintance Party. Then, dancing in the gym was sponsored with much enthusiasm. Through the eH'orts of the Council a sound movie was success- fully presented. In co-operation with the General House, various committees were created to supervise lavatory patrol, an- swer the doorbell, and take care of the Lost and Found Desk. The Governing Council, headed by Shirley Ogintz, presidentg Rita Evans, vice president, Ruth Dorn, secretaryg and Eleanor Misciewicz, treasurer, has per- formed its duties with great efiiciency. XVe are grateful to its members and to Miss Scott, the supervisor, for a year of unselnsh service and devotion to our school. l14l ' - . '1.,,54-.
