Plans were made for the year and the following officers were elected: President, Anita Gallant: Vice-President, Barbara Adley: Secretary, Lorraine Poulin: Treasurer, Louise Roderick. Other important committees were set up headed by Stella Batherson, Annie Barnett. Joyce Buotte and Lorraine Baker. During the year our social functions were the annual initiation, a Halloween Party, and our Red Cross Benefit. The girls of the club also co-operated with the Student Council and the teachers to provide a banquet for the new teachers and the football boys. Due to fuel and light restrictions, the club has been unable to hold as many meetings as usual, but plans are being made for a large gathering before the end of the year.

To belong to this club is the dream of many a girl who enters S. H. S. Membership is limited to those who have earned an R in Athletics. ' .The first activity of the year was the initiation of the girls who earned letters in softball last spring. They were Muriel Patenaude, Phyllis Chambers, Theresa Theriault, Irene Beaudet and Julia Perry. A spaghetti supper preceded the initiation. ' During the basketball games this winter the Club sold refreshments and earned money for a trip to Boston in April to witness an American League baseball game. A second initiation was held late in April to welcome the Junior girls who were the '45 champs in basketball. Those initiated were Jean Thomas, Shirley Thorne, Viola Theriault, Sally Rowe, Barbara Stewart, Anita Carrier, Pauline Martin, Frances Martin, Jean Gammon, June Pretty and Claire Steele. An outing at Worthley Pond is being planned as a finale to a very successful year.

COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club, with Mr. Baum as sponsor, started the school year with thirteen Senior members who had been initiated last year. The 1944-45 officers, chosen by last year's Senior members were President Irene Harpe Vice-President Phoebe Fraser Secretary Doris Gallant . Treasurer Adele Ploplis Plans were immediately started to initiate the rest of the Senior members of the commercial class. Initiation was held in October and was followed by a snack of cider and doughnuts. The initiates were Gloria Gallant, Thelma Trenoweth, Cecile Cantin, B. Morrison, Irene Theriault, Theresa Theriault, Vivian Tremblay, Margaret Fisher. Robere Lantagne, and Alfred St. Cyr. A Christmas party was held the week before Christmas vacation. The Junior commercial students who were to become members had been chosen according to the club qualifications but had not been initiated. They and Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were guests at the Christmas party. A chicken dinner with all the fixin's was served in the school cafeteria. Names had been drawn previous to the party, so each member received a gift from the gaily-decorated tree. Mr. Hunt was a good sport and took the part of Santa Claus in distributing the gifts. This was followed by group singing, forfeit stunts and A Bit of Nonsense, read by Mr. Baum. The club is proud to have one of -its Senior members in the service of our country. Alfred St. Cyr left in January to enter the Navy and is carrying on with his commercial work as a yeoman. The averages in commercial studies were so close that seventeen Juniors qualified as members. They were initiated in February and proved to be good sports. Those initiated were Joyce Spencer, Barbar McKellick, Joyce Dolloif, Joan Annello Isabelle Garneau, Eva Cormier, Pearl Martin, Viola Theriault, Betty Constantine, Shirley Fitzmaurice Genevieve Dalton, Muriel Cummings, Rose DeSalle, Claire Goudreau, Ida Mae Lefebvre Frances Serafin, and William Ball. The initation was followed by a'social gathering and lunch in the cafeteria. Mrs Trafton helped with initiation. Mr. Trafton and Mr. Berrie arrived just in time for lunch and proved very enjoyable with their views on women. The Commercial Club activities will be closed this year by an outdoor meeting and the elec- tion of the 1945-46 officers. PAGE THIRTY-TWO
