GOLDEN U Under the leadership of Arthur Soward, president, the Golden U turned its thoughts to being a service organization for the school. Guarding gates at athletic contests, and assuming other responsibilities around the school were leading activities. A Golden U pay assembly was sponsored to give prestige to the de- pleted treasury. Features were a Beef Ballet, three skits, a German band, and other novelties. This presentation was given soon after the close of the football season. A picnic for members and their guests was held in May at which time the additional members of the year were initiated. Other officers of the club were Walter Rush, vice-president, Bill Wil- liams, secretary-treasurer, and Ellroy Jensen, ,sergeant-at-arms. Ray Hen- drickson was adviser to the organization. HONOR SOCIETY The Zeta Tau chapter of the National Honor Society was headed by Maxine Glad, member of the senior four elected to the society as juniors. With her were Bill Rosson, Dorothy Denslow and Betty Jane Thompson. ln the first semester election, Catherine Murdock, Phoebe Breyman,Anna Marie Huffaker, Jean Cramer, Jane Hall, Dorothea Wilson, George Craig, Ellroy Jensen, Ted Smith, and Ed Luckey were elected from the senior class.
