S Men Subsidiary to the Boys' Club, the S men under Bob Burgner, took the detailed work from its mother organization upon its own shoulders and planned the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet, organized boys' intramural activities, and smoothed out difficulties as they arose in the administration of these sports. This work gave good reason for the S-men's lease on existence. First row-Jones, Bergren, Williams, Farley, Baker, Ward. Second row-Cavenaugh, McNamara, Mllne, Eustace, Eli Breeding, Collition. Third row--Kloster, Burgner, Lloyd, Stephens, Seibly, Tyrrell. Girls' Club Little sisters, big sisters, and faculty members frolicked at the Girls' Mixer, a send-off for an active year of club affairs. Parties, a Tri-State Conference. and play days were included in the club's date book. Climaxing the success of the club year was the Mothers' and Daughters' Tea, made financially possible through candy sales and a magic show. Following tradition, the club again bore the brunt of Honor Society pin expenses. Left to right-Day, Watkins, Drake, Ames, Wright, Baker, Johnston, Austin, Herring, Left to right Slieplierd, Purdin, Scherer, Drake, Quall, llrators Four debates-four victories-semi-finals at the Puget Sound Debate Tournament. For these triumphs Virginia Drake argued calculatingly. Helen Shepherd dramatically, Ellen Scherer serenely, Betty Gay Purdin effusively, and all four convincingly. Governmental ownership of public utilities was the point in question: Mr. Quall, the coach. FRUITSPUR First row-Montgomery, Cook, Ausink, Purdin, Haworth. B. McNamara, Drake. Second row-fJahnke, B.

Why shouldn't a school our size have a school paper? Enterprising Virginia Drake prepared the monthly dum- my and saw that weekly news was covered, with Miss Gwin standing by with the red pencil.

Boys' Club One hundred and forty boys addressed Al Kloster as Mr. President , followed him through a maze of in- tramural athletic tournaments, ping pong, Fathers' and Sons' steaks, smokers-a year active, engrossing, satisfy- ing. Biggest money-making project was the presentation of The Cougar , first talking picture to be shown at Selah High. Most pleasurable event was the Fathers' and Sons' banquet, at which some 300 fathers, sons, business men, and teachers feasted, gave impromptu talks, and listened to jokesters. OFFICERS-Advisor Shearingg Treasurer Williamsg President Klosterg Vice-president Stephens: Secretary Johnson. Pop Club A calendar of ticket selling, advertising and odd jobs forced pepsters to give full vent to excess energies before assigned tasks were marked as finished. Special- ized work was the printing of handbills and tickets by Beulah Marshall and Kevin Shepherdg high-pressure Howard Montgomery boosted ticket sales, and basketball crowds answered appeals from Roy Stephens and War- ren Jones with ringing cheers. First row-Shepherd, Needham, Epperson, Miss Payne, advisor, McDonald. Second row-Thomas, Tyrrell, Engman, K. Shepherd. Third row4Stephens, Marshall, Montgomery, Louis Tyrrell, president.

For the Honor of the School Constitutional revisions, keynoted with slightly stiffer grade qualifications and startlingly stiffer extra activity qualifications, was the Honor Society's chief ac- complishment this year. Jack McNamara presided over this unusually suc- cessful year-successful from the standpoint of his at- tempts to instill much needed energy into the organiza- tion. FRUITSPUR

The Working Class Workers-the term that applies to every junior. They worked for their play's success, and they worked for their banquet's success. And with results. They've worked individually, too. Virginia Drake headed the Calyx Echo, with the majority of her staff mem- bers juniors. Three of the four debaters were junior voices. The FRUITSPUR, claimed juniors for half her staff. Ample representation in the Honor Society proved that they had not only working ability but brains as well. Boys' athletics proved something too-that juniors could hold their own among seniors and the fast-moving sophomore basketball group that stormed the first team this year. Other energy-requiring jobs that refused to be sluffed included the class presidency taken over by Douglas Eustace. Ken Lyons' duties were made less difficult by a full treasury, as were Juanita Wrightfs because the president was always on the job. Arloa Hollawell took down the details of class meetings, and Miss Gwin acted as counselor.
