The members from our school are as followi. Barbara Kauth, Ruth Ann Allott, Bill Mette, Dorothy Wilson, Gene Kauth, Frank Abbott, Glen Murray, Grover Baker, and Marjorie Brunson. The Council has worked very successfully at sponsoring membership drives, giving an assem- bly program, collecting Christmas cards and other materials made by the art department for the soldiers, helping with the Senior Red Cross banquet, and helping with the canteen at the Alton station. We are proud of our junior Red Cross Coun- cil and hope they will keep up their good work. Seated: G. Murray, F. Abbott, E. Roeder. Standing: D. Wilson, B. Kauth, R. Allott, M. Brunson. Seated: A.

Perhaps you wondered what these pins signified. They were emblems to show that the girls were members of the Wal- ter Dill Scott Chapter of Secondary Schools. The Walter Dill Scott Chapter was granted its charter in 1954. During the second semester of the junior year the upper five per cent of the class is voted on for eligibility into the society. Betty Cross, Marilyn ,Mette, joan Rhinehart, and Mary Lou Stover were the four juniors chosen to carry the Honor Society into the senior year. The new members this year were: Audrey Brust, S-ally Stretch, Joyce Mauney, Barbara Kinder, Nancy Brown, Carol Karr, and Mary Ellen Dunn. The officers elected were Betty Cross, presi- dent, Sally Stretch, vice presidentg Marilyn Mete, secretary, and Nancy Brown, treasurer. Under the leadership of their sponsor, Dr. Ellwood, a successful year has just been com- pleted. University High was host for the Nor- mal Community and University High National Honor Society Banquet. The University High handbook which was started several years ago was finished this year.

A cider and doughnut' party was held in U High's Home Ec. Room for freshmen and new members. The party was a success, and everybody was contented with the food, the debate, and the fellowship of others. During the year an all school party was sponsored by the society. A St. Patricks Day theme was carried out and was greeted with enthusiasm by the entire school. The annual Rostrum-Thalian Debate was held at the very end of the year. Although both clubs worked very hard, the results were really worthwhile. The Thalian banquet was held on April 21, at the Hotel Rogers. Those attending enjoyed a good dinner and line speeches .by Mr. Barger and members of the club. The annual award was presented to Mary Lou Stover for .outstanding work in the club during her four years of high school. The year was .brought to a successful close by a party given at the home of Miss Stubbletield, sponsor of Thalian. Let's hope next year will be .bigger and better.

Thinking something exciting was happening, I hastened to the room from which the scream had come, only to find some members of the Dramatics Club practicing a play. The play looked interest- ingg so I stayed. Indeed it was really a super production. There was some good talent there. Perhaps some of these people might become famous actors and actresses some day. Members of the club received valuable information concerning the production and selection of plays. They also had experience directing plays and participating in them. The ofhcials of the Metro Goldyen Mayer in University High were: Nancy Brown, presidentg Bebe Kay Lusher, vice-presidentg Marijean Hamilton, secretary. The sponsor was Mr. Barber.
