The delegates returned with some good ideas for improvement of Pow Woiv, which were pre- sented to the staff.

One year ago the Art Service Club was formed. The purpose of this organization is to perform any art work required or needed by the school system and to provide useful experience for the members. Mr. Reese, art instructor, is faculty advisor. Officers of the organiza- tion are: Caryl Lee Kreykes, president, Joan Keeline, vice-president, Sylvia Gorna, scretary, and Barbara Wallace, treasurer. Meetings are held Tuesday and Wednesday after school in the art room, at Wilsoii Junior High School. Various awards including a membership pin in the form of a palette, a letter C , and numerals to be attached to the pin are given in accordance with the number of working hours a member has contributed. Some of the duties of the ASC include posters, stage decorations, signs, and anything else requested in the way of art service. The organization has worked in co-operation with the cheerleaders and the band by decor- ating the school and making decorations for the band performances before each game. The Art Service Club sponsored an exhibit at the Sanford Museum and pieces from this exhibit were chosen to be displayed at the Iowa State Fair in an exhibition sponsored by the club. A small group was also chosen to attend the 24th annual Iowa High School Art Exhibition at the University of Iowa on Saturday, April 24, 1954. Other special projects include a pot luck supper and an initiation-installation breakfast. The organization earned money by selling concessions at one of the games, selling lick 'em suckers, and working for various clubs and businesses in Cherokee. There are only four main requirements other than being at least a Sophomore and having a C average. They are co-operation, industry, initiative, and imagination.
