Pep - -Tl1at's Us The Pep Club is an organization small in number but rich in enthusiasm. All eight members were cheerleaders during the football season. At the opening game next term, they hope to be wearing snappy brown jackets. The money for these jackets was raised by dances held through' out the year. Pep meetings were held at the assembly programs during the football season. These added to the great enjoy- ment of all. The four freshmen members were elected at the beginning of the sea' son. Their sponsor is Miss Byers. PEP CLUB - MAJORETTES PEP CLUB First Row:-A. Bucar, C. Hillstrom, D. jenkins, M. Lovre. Second Row:-W. Kellner, G. Brickel, L. Turchan, K. Hamel.

Capable and Trained for Any Emergency 'The Red Cross Home Nursing course was introduced in our school this year by our school nurse, Mrs. Lohr. All Senior girls were required to take it and after having the required thirty hours, all received Red Cross certificates. The course was designed to develop a wholesome philosophy of living and greater resourcefulness in meeting everyday problems. It offers an opportunity to learn: 1. Simple Nursing procedures that enable one to keep a sick person clean, comfortable, and vvellfnourished. 2. How to recognize signs of illness in its early stages, what to do to protect members of the family from communicable diseases, and how to carry out the instructions of the doctor in giving medicines and treatment. 3. What to do in the way of relief measures for thecommon emergencies of ' illness and accident in the home. 4. How to take care of the body so that one may be reasonably sure of having mental and physical vigor for doing whatever job is to be done, and to enjoy some of the pleasures of life. 5. The essentials of a healthful home, of congenial family life, and of the care of children and old people in health and illness. The Senior girls were divided into two groups, one group had a class on Thursday and the other on Friday. It took the place of their regular Friday health class. The Senior girls wish to thank Mrs. Lohr for her troubles and the effort she put forth to help them complete this course successfully, for indeed, it was anything but a Waste of time. It is a real accomplishment for all who took the course and will aid them all through life. 26

Marjorie Howell The central character is the Senior Class at Harrisville High School in a small American city. Like most Americans, the Seniors are concerned about what they can do on the home front toward furthering the war effort. A contest is held to see which team can sell the most 'War Bonds and Stamps, and collect the most scrap metal and waste papgr. Following Mr. Henley's suggestion a Senior Victory Dance is planned, with phonograph records, and the purchase of five dollars worth of War Stamps as the price of admission. But all this is looked on as just kid stuff' by Davey Sawyer, who believes the only way to win the war is by fighting in the front lines. When Davey runs away to enlist, the theft of Miss Barton's cash box seems to point to him. Through the efforts of Phyllis Connor, Sawyer has the oppor' tunity to exonerate himself, and Stan Parsons turns out to be the real culprit. The play has a happyi ending, and the tall man with the high hat and chin whiskers nods his head in a prova. p The great success of the play is largely responsible to the untiring efforts of our directors, Mrs. Lloyd and Mr. McLeister, and to the magnificent job done by the stage crew: Alphonse Gaoia, Stanley Szajna, John Mahalic, and Carl Peduzzi.
