Senior members who were chosen in the fall of this year were: Marjorie Cummins, Margaret Glocklcr, Helen Gould, Jane LaDu, Kathleen Heaton, Betty Mack, and Virginia Mickcl. A dinner meeting is held once a month for the discussion of business and social plans. Acme’s financial program consisted of the sale of apples and milk, and the sponsorship of the Community Chest drive. The social program for the year included visits to Gillette Hospital, the State Penitentiary, the School for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind, and the State Reformatory for Women. In addition, a party was given at Christmas time for a group of Mexican children. During the spring quarter new members arc voted in, the majority being from the Junior class. Their formal initiation is also the occasion for an alumni dinner. Each year the most outstanding ninth grade girl is awarded the golden apple, symbolic of the three standards of Acme membership. Thus the Seniors leave the organization in the hands of the new Junior members, feeling that they have contributed substantially to its progress.
