THE BOYS President Vice President Sec y Treasurer Adviser ' ll CLUB Herb Henkman Bob Evarts Jim Fitch Mr. J. E. Curtis T a meeting of all the major letter winners at the close of the fixitball season, plans were discussed for a revamping of the old inactive Boys U Club. With new officers, many new members, and a host of promising ideas, the club set out upon the most successful season in its history. A constitution was drawn up. and a series of active committees were appointed. Added to th«s was the willing spirit of 31 new members incorporating for the good of the organ union. Among the purposes of the “U” Club was the desire to promote all of the school athletic functions, and give them the publicity they deserved. In this the members were highly successful, as record crowds attended the contests. In order to promote better feeling among the “U“ Club members, and encourage a feeling of camaraderie, a dinner meeting was held on the third Saturday of each month at the Minnesota Union. All of the committees made their reports; and business transactions were attended to. A highly successful dance was sponsored by the club on March 17, after the St. Louis Park basketball game. The several “U“ Club parties were also colorful affairs and evoked considerable comment. The Fathers and Sons Banquet was given on March 17, under the auspices of the “U Club. Its purpose was to strengthen the Dad and Boy relationship. The Boys “U” Club has most assuredly had a successful season rising from an inactive honorary club to one of the most active and most talked of schixil organizations. Page 25

Carol Turnacliff Winifred Utne Ada Charlotte Pagenkopf (Miss Mildred Lee Miss Josephine Dickson HE Girls' “U Club was organized in 1919 under the name of “Acme and continued under that title for five years. In 1924 the club changed its name to Girls' “U Club, and became an athletic organization. Its aim has always been to promote an interest in athletics, health, and good sportsmanship. To keep up this standard there are four letters which can be won as honors: the “U’ the “H , the “S ', and the big “U . The letters are won by earning 180 points from a point system. SSKxSt wamm Play Hour, which must be attended one quarter of the year, provides for super vised play after three-thirty o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Soccer is played during the Fall Quarter, basketball in the winter, and either tennis or baseball in the Spring. The classes usually organize teams and play for the championship in each sport. The main initiation takes place in the Women’s Gymnasium during the Fall Quarter. There is a smaller one in the Spring Quarter for girls who have joined the club during the year. When a girl is a member of “U Club she is expected to be loyal to the club, increase and advance interest in athletics, and live up to the rules of good sportsmanship Page 24

ACME Celonise Beery Zora Barrons Ruth Kelley Betty Ruth Lawrence OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary . T reasurer DRAGOMAN James Fitch Donald Robinson Robert Loevinger Robert Loevinger ACME SURING the fall quarter Acme collected money for the Community Fund drive. Fifty dollars was raised and equally distributed between St. Paul and Minneapolis. The project of the winter quarter was social service work in connection with a united charity. During spring quarter the annual alumnae banquet was held. Senior members of Acme are chosen in the fall of the year. This year they were Linda Cook, Muriel Childs, Francis Charlton, Josephine Mack, Nancy King, Grace Stafford, Patricia Taylor, and Winifred Utne. Junior mem' bers are chosen in the spring so that Acme may have some members with whom to begin the new year. Each year, beginning with 1930, Acme picks out from the entire Junior High School the girl most worthy of Acme honors and awards her the golden apple. Originally Acme was for the recognition and fostering of scholarship and athletics. Later a Girls “U” Club was formed for athletics, and Acme limited its activities to scholarship. Now the club is an honorary organization which gives credit to those girls who are outstanding in every phase of school life, especially in scholarship, leadership, and service. DRAGOMAN To encourage active participation in school activities, and to stimulate its members to use their influence to better those activities is the purpose of this boys honor society. Chosen upon a basis of leadership, character, and service, the members of the society represent practically every activity for which boys of the Senior High Sch x l are eligible. Through monthly discussions of the problems which arise in these activities, the members are expected to do a large part in solving them, and in helping the student body to cooperate with the administration. The Dragoman society was founded in the spring of 1931, fourteen charter mem-Ivrs having been chosen at that time. They were selected by the faculty from a list of junior and senior boys submitted to them by their class representatives on the senate. Every year, at the beginning of the winter quarter, the society holds its alumni banquet, at which the new members are officially initiated. This year’s new members were Carl Henscl, Bill Salladin, Bud James, Herbert Heneman, Shayel Hochman, Bob DeMott, Bud Green and Dick Rupp. Pane 26
