gi ,4 ,4 All gals of the athletic type, or who have fond hopes of someday falling into that extra-special cranny, are eligible for membefShiP in the Gir1'S A-ll'119TiC ASSOCKIUOH- When Wednesday night rolls around the CJYII1 is hOSi to 45 G-A-A-'GIS Wl'10 TICIVG the time of their lives playing volley-ball, kickbgll, Or indulging in SOIUS Other strenuous DUS- time such as tumbling. G.A.A. first appeared in T.Ii.S in 1938, bringing with ii good sportsmanship and an abundance of enthusiasm for girls 'sports. With Miss Cosand to lean on, they have achieved this to the Nth degree, building up their prOgrC1rI1 until if WCIS the best Yet. After enduring a stiff rough initiation the new members were rewarded with a party in the Home Ec. department where they were royally entertained and fed mountains of sandwiches, potato chips, pickles, and all such stuff as that there. A food market was next on the G.A.A. c alendar, followed by a 1-la1lowe'en party, a Sweater Swing after the Burris game, a Christmas party, and a riotous skating party at Elwood. All G.A.A. members could easily be spotted the day after this skating bout by their odd black and blue complexionsl Wonder why? Amid crepe paper and corsages they all celebrated a most successful year in the crowning glory of their annual gala Spring Dance, the pride and joy of Cr.A.A. Jw Every other Tuesday night 46 weary Hi-Y members trudge toward the school building. They slump down in their seats, waiting for Mr. Cline to arrive. Bells ring, horns blow, Michel enters, and promptly props his feet up on a desk as everyone takes a nap while the secretary reads the minutes. Following a lengthy session of jokes, all get down to business. If there is no business, they perk up and enjoy some sort of program. Ah, this is the lifel Hi-Y took a new lease on their own life this year: revived from the grave, routed out some new members and more vitamins, which all add up to a progressive organization. The local Hi-Y chapter originated in 1934, and has done its share in promoting clean living and clean athletics in our school ever since. Always up to something, they proved themselves worthy of their reputations by hav- ing a slam-bang affair in the form of a Weiner roast, besides joining with Sunshine in demonstrating how to have a somewhat quieter version of a good time at a spring dance. The school was happy to be able to welcome 1-li-Y back to the fold this year, for it has done much good in the past, and has continued to do so by quickly picking up where it left oft two years ago. The feminine half of T.l-l.S. was also very glad to see Hi-Y again, for what would they do without Hi-Y pins? SSS By her smile ye shall know her . Meaning, of course, a Sunshiner-a lassy whose good humor, cheerful spirit, and helping hand are well known to school and community. Sunshine is one organization that stresses the Golden Rule, and then actually practices what it preaches, which is quite something nowadays. It is the eldest of all our present school organizations, and is rightfully proud of its ancestry, dating back to 1927, and it's 81 members. Always right on the ball as far as helping is concerned, they got down to work right away, helping the new members to become miserable with a full night of rough initiation. Some evil spirit must have moved the little Sunbeams for they seldom have any but for- mal candle-light services. Tsk! Tsk! Bad influence somewhere! Sunshine held its own Vesper services at Christmastime at the Presbyterian Church with many members singing in the choir. The services were very impressive and were highly enjoyable-even the choir. Having a good time is also an important part of any Sunshine Society. Toward this end S. S. S. had a superb pitch-in with everybody pitching just gobs of food, in their own direction naturally. They also teamed with Hi-Y in giving a lovely spring dance, with Sunshiner's, formals, and Miss Foster floating all over the gym. A Sunshiner's smile is said to be quite infectuous, let's just hope everybody can pick up that beaming disease at some time or other.

Bm! The third period on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, we find the music room or gym filled with 45 members, plus many half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and some- times all sizes of rests. You can count on an abundance of rests if Mr. Planck is out of the room! However, it is easy to see that this doesn't happen very often, when they per- form as well as they do at various occasions during the year. The band really gave out at the program in celebration of National Music Week. They've also played for many programs sponsored by Student Council, not to mention the times when they cut loose at basketball games. lt really broke their little hearts when they didn't get to march at all the games. My but they were a sad bunch. Oh Yea? The whole school regretted very much that there wasn't a District Band Contest for the band to compete in this year, especially since they were rated as the outstanding band in last year's contest. At commencement the band always adds the finishing touches to the Seniors process- ional march. lt can be truthfully said that this is the only time when the seniors would rather not be around when the band plays. pefetfa The gymnasium was filled with laughter on March lO this year when the Glee Clubs gave the enjoyable Rio Rico . Lewis Morgan, a wealthy financier takes his daughter lane and a group of college girls on an expedition to Cocos lsle in which they meet up with Black Spider's Mutineers who have been sleeping for two centuries. Much to their amazement, they find the bur- ied chest to be full of nothing but sand. Thus, Lewis Morgan's group was blamed for this catastrophe, so the Gold Hunters sponsor a broadcast from Cocos lsle in order to obtain help. Naturally there is a surprise ending and everyone returns to the main land. The following people portrayed the unforgettable roles of the operetta: Lewis Morgan-Ralph Ginn Tubby Thompkins -Bob Woodruff lane Morgan--Judith Aldridge Bill Burton -Marion Richardson Aunt Iulia-Thelma Love Black Spiderw Gordon Gish Professor Amos Molecule--Lex Tucker Dead Eye-Harry Burton Clara-Iudith Wheatley Spade Beard-Carl Hannah NanfSara Lesko Skittles--Richard Stroup Pansy Borealis--Patty Williams Strutt-Dwight Richardson lack Davis-Bill Fischvogt
