Present your views through the Student Council. They are the links between faculty and student body. Student Council activities this year were inumerable. Their greatest and most remarkable achievement was promoting the sale of Defense Stamps. They set a goal mountain high but the sky was not their limit. Each and every student of V. H. 5- purchased stamps weekly. pushing the total into thousands of dollars. The Council also left a lasting memorial this year. a service scroll. dedicated to the former V. H. S. students now serving their country. Sponsorship oi W. P. A. week and the first school dance boosted the Council's funds to permit the purchase of National Honor Society pins. They accepted the responsibilities of administering the Junior Red Cross and also to supervise all school activities. Eleven students representing the four classes compose the organization. Out of this number lack McWhorter was elected president and Bill Caldwell, secretary. Mr. Paschal is their sponsor. To this group we give our sincere congratulations for the splendid service ren- dered during the school year. You truly deserve itl ,sf ,L l This has been a year of hard-working determination on the part of those interest- ed in publishing an Arrow lor 1944.

Twenty some volunteers compose the stall. KaDel Urice is editor in chief aided by Nancy Hartman as iunior assistant editor: Mary lean Countermine serves as Bus- iness Manager. The advance commercial classes operate our linotype machines. or stencil cutting. Miss Mcllrath advises the staff on make up and production, while the English department aids in the story writing. The paper has been printed in various colors this year with the Christmas issue displaying the Yuletide colors and the St. Patrick's issue in green. One of the added teatures of the P. G G. this year has been the polls periodically conducted on such timely questoins as: Do you think there should be a year of compulsory military training alter the war for all eighteen year olds? Many other questions were pre- sented to the students for their opinions. The April first issue conceming the Botani- cal Gardens was a successful Fool's Day hoax. A varied subiect matter combined with super mimeographing has made the years' P. 6 G. a success from start to finish.

Tomorrow's New Teachers are today's amateurs. The seventeen girls enrolled in the Normal Training Club have been striving to learn what psychology can be used most effectively on their prospec- tive students. Miss Knipfer. faculty sponsor, has given the senior girls a chance to test their ability by placing them in rural teaching positions for a period of a week under the watchful eye of an experienced teacher. The fundamentals of music were studied on certain nights from four to five with the help of Miss Cheney from the School for the Blind. The club holds regular meetings once a month. An occasional social gathering offers a change from serious thinking. Officers for the past year were Margaret Lindeman, president: Charlotte Mitchell, vice-president: Dorothy Schlotfelt, secretary: Glenith Hurst, treasurer. V CL B Bottom How-Wilfred Kelly.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY SPOOKY TAVERN This play is centered around Willie Worgel lDale Kellyl. a stuttering college freshman who loves detective stories. The female end was taken care ot nicely by Lillian Donley and Evelyn Lasher. who played Florabel and Ioyce Wingate. Their negro marnmy. Bedelia lDorothy Shotwelll accompanies them to Spooky Tavern to look the place over. The play is filled with all kinds of weird going-ons . Iohn Richart and Allan King are two college boys who come to the tavern looking lor Ioyce and Florabel. Iohn took the part of Ralph Channing. the son ol a rich banker: and Allan. Terry Tanner. a star football player. Betty Walter as Lucy Hacker gave many thrills with her eerie ghost stories. and Dick Corbett as her brohter. Lon. along with Punk Oppelt as Blackie Simms and Tom Register as Farone. provided thrills and chills as the gangsters peddling dope to students. The part of the Ghost Woman was played by Evelyn Yerkes, who. with her blood-curdling screams. added much ex- citement to the plot. In the end it is discovered that all ot the strange happenings going on at the tavern were all a part ot a big hoax to break Willie of reading detective stories. For most people such an experience would cure them of reading any more spooky stories but Willie only asks his Uncle for another volume of Sherlock Holmes. This mystery-comedy play was under the very capable direction of Miss Char- lotte Brannen. lt was given on April 26. Bottom Row-Evelyn Yerkes, Evelyn Lasher. Dorothy Shotwell.
