V. Club, or Girls' Athletic V Club. lt's membership includes seventeen energetic junior and senior girls and their equally peppy sponsor, Miss Humke. The officers who have very capably served the Club this year are: Florence Campbell, presi- dent: Marge Richardson, vice-president: lean Burkhart, secretary-treasurer. The aim of every member is to earn enough points to receive a letter, which requires 250 points. This year they have adopted the state point system. This differs slightly with regard to par- ticipation, skill, and leadership. Meets are held once a month, and the members have enioyed many delightful parties. Asn sisted by the Student Council and the Arrow Staff. the G. A. V. girls sold refreshments at the county basketball tournament. They were also the sponsors ofa school dance. The Club sponsors an intramural program designed to stimulate interest in sportsmanship and organize a wholesome program ot physical activities. Their athletic schedule includes volleyball, basketball, softball, and hiking. In May the annual banquet is held and awards are presented. Page Fourteen

No one could pass a single day without seeing or hearing something from this organization. During the autumn season you couldn't miss the marching band parading up and down the streets after school every night. A special feature of the marching band was the llashy twirling section which was heartily received by all football fans. At the pep meetings and at all the home basketball games the school spirit was stimulated by music furnished by the pep band. Later in the year you heard the various chamber groups and solos practicing in different parts of the building before and after school. Then, of course, you could always hear the whole band tooting away fourth period. Under the baton of Mr. Kosowsky the band successfully presented iive concerts during the year. On March 24 the home contest was held. Mr. A. R. Edgar, director of the band at Iowa State College at Ames was iudge. A limited number of contest- ants were chosen to represent V. H. S. at the pre-state contest held on April 7. Those receiving superior ratings in this contest participated in the state contest, April 27 and 28, at Marion. Page Thirteen

SENIORS IUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN Thirty-nine girls were out lor basketball this year. Each class had seven practices, each one being an hour and a hall long. During these practices Miss Humke worked hard with the girls and showed them many new skills they could use. During the practices she watched each girl closely, so she would be prepared to chose the teams for the tournaments. Eight members from each class were chosen to represent the team. The members were chosen because of their skill and their improved skill and the number of practices that they had attended. This year the seniors won the cup. They also won it when they were iuniors. The Winners went through the tournament without a loss. The juniors were only beaten once ,that being by the seniors. The sophomore group won over the energetic freshmen team in a very close game to win third place for themselves. During the tournament the seniors won 3 games, the iuniors Z. sophomores 1. and the freshmen 0. The girls played a curtain raiser at one of the boys games this year. The underclassmen organized a team and gave the seniors a goodlight before losing the game. The score was 18 to 25. Page Fifteen
