THE TOTEM 1940 THEY SWING A MEAN SPATULA By ALICE POPE Don't look now, boys, but hereis your chance- W7o-Ho-Ma girls, for the meaning of Wo-Ho-Ma is Worthy Home Makers. All joking aside, this club has three very valuable aims which are: 1. To train girls to be active and eHicient leaders in home, school, and community life. 2. To furnish an opportunity for social life, with programs and social gatherings. 3. To promote more interest in home economics. All girls who have taken any home economics or who are taking home economics at the present time are eligible for this club. While this club had only a few members when it was started, it now has a mem- bership of fifty-three girls. The present adviser is Miss Helen Bean. Miss Pearl Rehorst and Miss Crissie Mott also rotate as advisers. The oncicers for the first semester were Norman Sprunger, president, Ruth Fuhrman, vice-president, Eileen Hofmann, secretary, Louise Buesking, treas- urer, Margaret Geroff, Inter-Club Congress repre- sentative, and Eileen Kiessling, Times representative. During the second semester, Marjorie Gerding reigned as president of Wo-Ho-Ma assisted by Helen Dicke as vice-president, Flora Sauer, secre- tary, Lorraine Dicke, treasurer, Margaret Ger- off, Inter-Club Congress representative, and Katherine Bulte- meier, Times represen- Hanock. of Wolf BL Dessauer, A Vacation Trip to New Yorkw by Miss Susen Peck, a Christmas play by members of the club and a Christmas story by Miss Emma Kiefer, a trip to the Holsum Bakery, a skate at Bell's Rink, and a Mothers' Day tea. One of the most interesting and impressive meet- ings held by this club is the initiation service. Officers and an outstanding member of the club who is cho- sen as the Spirit of Economics take Part in this serv- ice. This is a candlelight service, candles being held by officers, Spirit of Economics, and new members. New members are tolcl the aims and values of this club before they take their pledge. To the accom- paniment of soft music, each new member takes her pledge of membership and is welcomed into the club by old members. In addition to the study of every day problems, the club furnishes adequate advantages for the girls to become eiiicient in the social graces that are so necessary in the managing of homes. Of course to have a home is a dream of every Wo-Ho-Ma girl. This club gives a girl practical knowledge that will be helpful to her all of her life. Even those girls who clon't marry or have homes of their own will find many occasions to use this knowledge. First Row: B. Kyvik, M. Frede, M. Geroff, N. Keel, Schleiger, M. Gerding, A. Meyers, B.

Ar the first meeting of the year Wo-Ho-Ma girls were entertained with a talk by Miss Pittenger. Some of the other meetings were as fol- lows: Initiation services for new members, an inter- esting talk, Clothes for the High School Girln, given by Miss Jane Latz 96

THE TOTEM 1940 THESE HAMS ARE WELL SEASONED By DICK STRASBURG The house lights are dimmed and the curtain goes up on another epi- sode of the Student Play- ers Club. The club strives to create an active inter- est in dramatics and to promote good will. Each year since its founding in 1929, the number of members has increased steadily. The Student Players Club of 1939-40 season had a very successful year. In the October meeting, election of of- ficers was held. Dick Strasburg was elected president, Dick Dyke, vice-president, June Mc- Alister, secretary-treas- urerg Bea Etzler, Inter- Club Congress represen- tative, and Bruce Brad- bury, point recorder. After the election of officers, two plays were given. The first was The Still Alarmn, in which Bob Brooks play- ed the part of Bob Berk- First Row: M. Sheldon, Nl. Marquardt, Gumpper, C. Hirschy, H.

Following this, a play, Change of Hearts7', was presented by several girls. The characters were, Mrs. Martengay, Martha Jean Smith, Mrs. Puff, Bea Etzlerg Mrs. Russell, Charlene McAteeg and Mrs. Thorn, Delores Daniels. Another very interesting program was held in No- vember in which the play, The Calf That Laid the Golden Eggu, was presented. The cast was: Mrs. Scott, Ellen McKay, Mr. Scott, Don Meyer, Mary, June McAlister, and the new maid, Lois Likins. Cth- ers in the cast were Phyllis Branning, Leah Schwartz, and Carolyn Cartwright. The third monthly play was given at the Decem- ber meeting. It was called First Anniversary , and those who took part are Martin Gernand, Velma Lageman, and Phyllis Fackler. Each year Student Player Clubs of all three high schools get together in January and again at the last meeting of the year. In January there was an initia- tion and a dance held at Central High School. The initiates from each school presented a play. The South Side initiates who were winners in acting are Clara Makey, Alice Sweet, Fred Walker, and Fred Collins. The next meeting was held in February in the form of a potluck. The officers who were elected to serve for the second semester were Dorothy Gore, president, and Phyllis Branning, vice-president. Committees for the remaining meetings were ap- pointed by Miss Suter. The chairmen of these meet- ings were Dick Strasburg and Mary Ellen Barrett. All these events led up to the big event of the year. the senior play, She Got Away With It, in which the McAlister twins played the part of the counter- feit wife. The cast was made up of sixteen seniors. It was a very delightful play in which Shirley Holis- ter, played by June McAlister, took the place of Sylvia Hollister, her twin sister, played by Joyce Mc- Alister, in order that she could go away to get a rest. Some very interesting scenes took place during the course of the play. Finally it was discovered that Shirley Holister was taking the place of her twin sis- terg but, by that time, Sylvia Hollister had recovered and she came to her home and lived happily ever after. 97
