CONTENTS FOREWORD DEDICATION CLASS ROOMS CLASSES ADMINISTRATION ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FEATURES WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL TO Joe Almos, the friend, the well-wisher, and the efficient helper to everyone, whether teacher or pupil. YVe couldn't get along without Joe. XVe tried it once while he was in tl1e army, but it just didn't work. XVhen he returned, everybody rejoiced and the organization returned to nor- malcy. I dunno, we'll ask Joef' has been a familiar phrase, heard all through the years. Teachers, students, fellow-workers in all departments turn to Joe for assistance and suggestions. He holds the key to the situation in so many instances. Sober of countenance, apparently unyielding, his grufl' No more often means Yes, especially where it is at all possible for him to grant your request, and if you waitiyou will see l1in1 smilevsidewisewand then chuckle-at the temporary consternation he has caused you. Then with a heart of gold he swings into action and before you know it your wish is granted. He is one of us in another respect. He is a graduate of our high school tclass 19075. As a high school student he represented the school in baseball. Immediately after graduation he became assistant to the building custodian and later succeeded him in that position. He has assisted in the manual training instruction, always to the delight and confidence of the boys and girls in those classes. In the dramatic work he has had and still has charge of the building and operation of scenery and stage settings. ln our operettas .loe's contribution has always been in evid.ence. YVhol1y dependable, wholly honest, and abundantly competent, he has given thirty- three years of service to VVashington High School, and we are happy to honor him, as a partial reward, by dedicating our 19-10 annual to him.

I Students enrolled in Mr. Rayl's Chemistry classes find out for themselves through 'the use of many reagent bottles, retorts, and blow-ups the chemical compon- ents of products commonly used in every-day living. POTENTIAL DESIGNERS AND CANV BRUSHERS as An artistically inclined student can certainly enjoy himself or herself in XV.H.S. by taking one of the five varied art courses offered. Miss Ellsworth and Miss Koch supervise the classes, and each year much superior art work is put out under their direction. Fine Arts is required for all other art courses as it teaches the funda- mentals needed in the advanced courses. Commercial Art gives the student a chance to do layouts, lettering, and probably a poster for one of the clubs in school. Many new ideas for clothing are brought forth in Costume Design, and Interior Decorat- ing encourages a student to use his imagina- tion in arranging a home to its best ad- vantage. Crafts give the artists opportuni- ties to make plaques, book covers, wooden buttons, and other things that employ both the use of his head and hands. As the cooki11g classes are always filled to capacity, it seems that there are many girls in VV.H.S. who believe in the old adage that the best way to a lIlHll,S heart is through his stomachf' The femmes', are also given mueh practical training in pre- paring meals, homemaking, and nursing. The last semester is spent on dietetics and polishing up on the technique of serving. All the classes serve teas and dinners to some of XV.H.S. departments. Sewing is a practical subject for all girls to know, as there are so many interest- ing things to make, and so many holes to mend. Throughout the two years of sew- ing a very complete course is given. Ele- mentary stitches and their application on simple patterns are taken up the first se- mester, and in the last semester tl1e girls make tailored clothes, suits, and a garment for some other person. Many make their own graduation clothes. FU URE HOMEM KERS Typewriting classes are always over- flowing each semester with students who wish to learn the art.', Those who want to learn to type only for their own personal use take the one year course, while others who desire to become more proficient, take the two year course along with shorthand. The average speed of a one year student is about 35 words a minute, though some get up to 45 and 50 words. The fact that more and more students are becoming vocation conscious is evi- denced by the growing attendance in the commercial classes. Most of the future secretaries are girls, but occasionally a brave male enrolls in the course. The speed which most shorthand addicts reach is 120 words a minute and because of their super- ior training, many of them are placed in jobs immediately after graduation. In the Bookkeeping department one seems to be in a forest of machinesecal- culators, adding and posting Ill2lClllIlCS-We which are used every day by students in getting their lessons and i11 helping Mr. Bubbers keep school accounts, for it is in this department that accounts, representing assets of 310,000 of some 60 school organiza- tions, are kept. This set-up provides op- portunities for students to both learn and practice bookkeeping principles. Every six weeks, just before report cards are issued, a group of about 90 stu- dents and teachers transfer grades from teachers, cards to the permanent cards. Mr. liubbers and his advanced bookkeeping class supervise the work. The job usually takes about two hours, as transferring grades of about 2,300 students is quite a lengthy process. H A D-4 O M D..

Pine and cedar are the woods most generally used, but once in a while one may be lucky enough to see a piece of black walnut among their many materials. Visit the printing classes anytime, and you will see many aspiring printers hard at work. Covered with ink, they set up type and run the presses, printing pro- grams, office material, and numerous other articles needed by the school and various organizations of it. Girls are rather scarce in the course, but you will often find one brave enough to enroll. l'nder the able guidance of Mr. La- Chapelle, many of the school's youthful mechanics investigate the principles under- lying the operation of the modern auto- mobile. As the facilities for the course have recently been enlarged, students in the ad- vanced classes are now permitted to bring their own automobiles for repair. A new coursee-fmetalsewas inaugu- rated into the NV.H.S. curriculum this year under the supervision of Mr. I.aChapclle. The work calls into action both one's brains and fingers, as the students conceive what they want to make and then use lathes, power drills, or whatever will help them to produce perfect ash trays or other objects. 5 +92 ge 'm 'YA 5 .Eg :.'1:-W-V. 4 , f l f Q The Library is a good place to do research for one's courses, and it is also a good place to meet all your friends and hear all the gossip.

The fact that so many Seniors are on the senior honor roll or only go to school half days accounts for the empty seats in 214, the Senior study f?j hall STUDENTS STUDY Polished seniors think therq are no others like themselves, and the fresllies believe iilClllj but the thorn in the senior's side is the junior who thinks he is just as good us za senior, and the sophomore who is beginning lo get wise.

The freslnnen worked hard this year to uphold the dignity of their class. Char- lotte lseman was elected the Hi-Y Queen of llftl, and Forrest 'Wallenstein was the S.l'. ' of the class. lloh lingen made a name for himself in l:oth football and has- kethall, while llarry Carleton looks like potential gridiron material. lidlyn Cuse was the choice of the Dramatic Cluh for freshman candidate for Sweetheart.

In debate, Alice Thomas and Marvin liailin came to the fore. Blossom Olsen was the sophomore candidate for 1910 Sweet- heart, while Suzanne Grigshy was a con- testant for Ili-Y H20 Queen.

Students must either be getting brighter or school easier, as the honor groups are increasing each year. This year's is larger by four than last year. Many people believe that an A stu- dent is a bookworln, prude, and a teaeher's pet. However, this year the students who have earned this honor are far from these expectations. The 1940 Marshal, a member ofthe 19,10 runner-up state debate team, and the editor of the 19,10 VVARRIUR are in- cluded in these ranks. All the students are active in organizations, and some hold ex- ecutive positions in thein. lf these kids were no fun, or book- worms, they certainly wouldn't be as out- standing as they are.

It didn't take us long to get acquainted, though, for soon we were enjoying all the activities, studies, and benefits of VVash- ington High School. During our sophomore year, we eagerly applauded the operetta Mlle. Modistef, and the dramatic production Growing Pains. An ill-wind blew the Taurus Club for men debaters into being, and Marge Nicholls and Chuck Austin were W.H.S. royalty. As juniors, though classes were often interrupted by riveting machines or ham- mering of workmen remodeling the north unit, we made a success out of our first big venture-the junior party. The band took a trip through the East and played for the King and Queen of England. Hollywood Extra was the chorus offering for the year, andxthe annual came out June 14. After entering our completely new building as seniors, we began to take life easy, but there were many hot battles be- fore the motion against caps and gowns was carried. The East Side Athletic Field was rebuilt and renamed The Howard VVood Athletic Stadium for our Coach, and the annual was rechristened VVarrior', instead of Monogram, The senior party was loads of fun, and the picnic, banquet, prom, and graduation will always be memorable occasions. All in all, high school has been an adventure we would not have wanted to miss. It has had its faults, but in the future most of us will wish we were reliving all these carefree, happy days again.

But if you are lucky enough to catch l1im when he is not busy, you will be thoroughly amused.

Orange Letter Day, thc highlight of the school year, began as usual with a rousing get-together in the assembly. Because the athletic field was being dedicated to Coach NVood in the evening, the pep meeting in the morning featured a series of comic skits centering around the life and teaching career of Coach.,' Orange and black Pom- pons, buttons bearing Coach NVood's pic- ture, and tiny hats set off by huge feathers made the assembly ablaze with color. The riotous morning was contrasted by the awe-inspiring ceremony of the after- noon. VVhile the orchestra played the pro- cessional, the candidates marched to the stage where Len Huck, Marshal, crowned Elaine Vtfangsness, 1940 Queen of VV.H.S. The Queen's attendants were Renae Archer, secretary-treasurer of Dramatic Club, sec- retary of Senior GB., and a member of College Club, I.R.C., and Student Council, Mary Boardman, Editor of the VVARRIOR, vice-president of I.R.C., program chairman of College Club, honor student, and a mem- ber of Quill 8: Scroll, Dramatic Club, and . LEN, MARSHAL GB., Betty Henderson, secretary of the Home Economics Club, and a member of I.R.C., College Club, Dramatic Club, Stu- dent Council, and GB., and Myrtle Iseman, secretary of French Club, president of Biology Club, honor student, orchestra member, and a member of I.R.C., College Club, and GB. The candidates for Mar- shal were John Dunham, president of Dramatic Club, vice-president of Student Council, and a member of Hi-Y, I.R.C., College Club, and N.F.L., Jim Faragher, secretary of the Hi-Y cabinet, secretary of Bowen's chapter, and a member of I.R.C., College Club, Monogram Club, Student Council, and the XV.H.S. golf team, Chuck Fusfield, president of I.R.C., Hi-Y cabinet treasurer, president of his Hi-Y chapter, Business Manager of the VVARRIOR, secre- tary-treasurer of the N.F.L., and a melnber of French Club, Quill 81 Scroll, Dramatic Club, and College Club, and Tom Steens- land, Editor of the Orange and Black, Head Cheerleader, and a member of Hi-Y, Stu- dent Council, Dramatic Club, Quill 8: Scroll, and College Club. After the Coronation, the student body marched en massen to the athletic field. The Queen and Marshal led the procession followed by the band, photographer's car, and the howling mob of students. For the program each club in school presented a 10-minute entertaimnent. The most hilar- ious of the presentations was the Corny- ationw which was a take-off on the solemn occasion of the afternoon. The pep band entertained with songs of all countries, and the Orange and Black played a slow motion football game. A male impersonating femalei, beauty contest was one of the out- standing features of the afternoon. Miss Brucie', Jewell, Miss RobertaM Richmond, Miss XYendy,, Cook, and Miss Bobbie9' Margulies competed. Miss Bobbie', Mar- gulies won the contest-must have been her', beautiful muscles. At the dedication ceremony in the even- ing, outstanding men of Sioux Falls ex- tended mueh praise to Howard VVood for his work with boys and dedicated the com- pleted field the Howard XVood .Athletic Stadium. After this, the lights were dim- med, and a display of fireworks that equal- led any Hollywood premier showered over the grandstand. The pitch of overwhelming enthusiasm was raised to the breaking point by our victory over the Rapid City Cobblers and ended in an explosion of swing rhythm that could only come from a homecoming dance. All the arrangements for Orange Let- ter Day were made by the committee com- posed of Murray Richards, Mary Sproes- ser, Howard XVood, Len Huck, Mary Board- man, Miss Flint, Miss Pettigrew, Mr. Dun- can, Miss Furlong, and Mr. Parkinson. The student body as well as the faculty owe a great deal to Miss Josephine XVagner for undertaking this event and for making a success of it. VVe are all very sorry that this was her last year in the capacity of chief adviser. As usual, many alumni returned to lake part in the celebration and this year the record was broken for the longest dis- tance a former student traveled to be pres- ent for homecoming. If there was anything missing this year, we were having too much fun to notice it. This was the homecoming of all homecom- ingsgit was our day.

COLLEGE CLUB BROADENS ACTIVITIES As the officers of the College Club this year realized the growing desire of its mem- bership, numbering second among clubs, to know more about vocations, they decided to change the activities of the organization somewhat and devote more programs to vocational guidance. The fall and winter meetings presented speakers qualified to inform students of the training one needs to fill positions in the business, profession- al, or teaching fields. A portion of the proceeds from the annual College Club Christmas dance is used to purchase vocational pamphlets, which are kept in the school library and are available to any student who wishes to use them. These Monographs present a detailed account of what is expected from one specializing in a certain vocation, what subjects he should take in school, and what chance there is for him to get a job. In the spring, the attention of the club was turned to college, and two panel dis- cussions were presented. In the first one, five South Dakota schools sent representa- tives to tell the merits of their schools, and the second panel featured the outstanding out-of-state schools. Miss Birde Posthuma is the faculty adviser of the club, and Rogness Johnson was president this year. Len Huck was vice-presidentg Mary Sproesser was secre- tary, Mary Boardman was program chair- man, Dorothy Elmen was banquet chair- man, and Bob Hollister was publicity chair- man. On April 5, the club held its annual banquet. The program was presented around the theme Swing and kept in tune with the times by featuring a quiz program. Effervescent Chuck Fusfield was the mas- ter of ceremonies. Top-A scene in Room 3320 International Day. Second--I.R.C. officers--R. Johnson, see.: C. Fus- field, pres.: and M. Boardman. v.-pres. B.

Al monthly meetings, the club tends to cater to its lnembers by spon- soring speakers, movies, or whatever en- tertainment will do most to interest the stu- dents in world-wide affairs. The year of birth for the club was 1931. A special group of 32 History stu- dents under the direction of the social science teachers gathered to discuss a means of arousing an awareness in the stu- dent body of the existence of world prob- lelns. The l.H.C., whose membership now totals about 800, was the result. This en- rollment certainly shows tllat interest in current events is not lacking in VV.lI.S. All the social science teachers are ad- visers, but a special committee composed of C. R. Beck, Miss Bach, Miss Kunkle, Miss Strahon, and Mr. llauge, together with the student officers make up the administra- tion powers. This year solnething newa-- Interna- tional Daywfwas tried by the club. All the classes were conducted around an interna- tional theme. Reports were given by stu- dents about life and customs of other lands, and foreign costumes, flags, and foods were Illl1Cll in evidence. In the evening a Cos- tume liall was held at the Arkota. In May, tl1e club puts on a huge picnic with plenty of hot dogs, baked beans, ice- cream, and all the trimmings. This, of course, usually brings out the entire 1ne111- bership for a good time.

WEEK IS GIRL RESERVE HI-LIGHT Added to the usual excitement that the Spinster Dance arouses was the occurrence this year of Leap Year, which gave the more timid girls heart to ask him', to this annual affair. The hrave girls had been getting their dates many weeks in advance in preparation for thc long-awaited event. This year the girls not only had to pay out their hard-earned cash for the dance, hut, even worse, for a whole XV.P.A CXVomen Pay Allj week. The fathers of the boys in school enjoyed this week as much, ii not more than their sons, as all dates during this time had to he arranged and paid for hy thc fairer sex. The dance was sponsored hy the Senior Girl Reserves. Frances Vittum was the chair- man of the Committee and all the senior clul members assisted her in publicity, sale of ticki ets, and other arrangements. At the dance Dusty Rhodes was elected the S.Pf'-Secre Passion'-of XV.H.S. Girl Reserves, of course, is not just a sociai organization, hut, like Hi-Y, has importan fundamental principles. It teaches girls to be of service to themselves and their community . and often has meetings dealing with personality i appearance, or etiquette. Each new semester, the Girl Reserves pro mote the Big and Little Sister tea and during A Easter combine with the Hi-Y to present morn ing devotionals for the students.

HI-Y IS FOREMOST CLUB FOR BOYS IN W. H. S. liver since its founding in December, 1922, the Hi-Y Club has been the foremost organiza- tion for boys in the high school. Started by Mr. XY. I. Early, ex-principal and Mr. XV. J. Rother, the original club consisted of twenty boys repre- senting all the classes. From this nucleus have sprung the fourteen chapters that now compose the Hi-Y. The purpose of the club was and is to pro- vide some organization for boys that would stand for the best in community life, or, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Chris- tian characterf' Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship is the slogan of the club. Since its humble beginning the club has ad- vanced rapidlyg very rapidly, in fact, as many of the girls now wear Hi-Y pins. Three social events highlight the year for the organization: a Mother and Son Banquet on Motheris Day, the Induction Ceremony at which the new members were presented with pins and membership cards, and the Carnival, which was held at the Y.M.C.A. in the latter part of February. An aquatic program was put on in the swimming pool, while a minstrel show, a basketball game played on roller skates, and a midway were conducted by various chap- ters.

QB. is the official Latin Club of XV.II.S. This club is organized like the Roman Republic of ancient times. Two consuls with equal powers are the highest officers and hold office for a year. These are chosen from the advanced Latin class, and for this year are LaVonne DeMots and Beverly Smith. The aediles, or minor officers of the club this year for the first semester were Jimmy Goodbarn, Darlene Schneiderman, Margrette Mills, VVayne Sandvig, Alice Thomas, Marjory Elliot, Marjory Owen, Roger Haugen, Ione Christenson, Phyllis Collins, and Mary Forslund. Assisted by the consuls, they are responsible for plan- ning and managing the two programs each semester. The general theme of these pro- grams is Boman Life in the Classical Per- iodf' In October a program was given in honor of the famous poet, Virgil. The Sat- urnalia, a famous Roman festival was cele- brated in December. The Roman banquet attended by the advanced Latin students was given in true Roman style. The guests wore togas and ate food cooked in the Roman style. In March, .Iulius Caesar will be honored in a program, and the birthday of Rome is feted i11 April. The purpose of the club is to provide the students with a richer background for the appreciation of the study of Latin. Only those enrolled in the Latin depart- ment are members. Miss Cumings, Miss Bliss, and Miss Danforth are the faculty advisers. Above, topfffhis is the Latin Club composed entirely of Latin students. Looks like a popular course, doesn't it? The fellow in the second seat in the first row is holding up a book entitled Latin for Today. This seems to prove that Latin is not all fun, but consists of a little study, too. Bottom, left'-These are the consuls and aediles of the Latin Club. The consuls rule for one year, while the aediles are picked every semester. Bottom, right-Twice a year, the advanced students hold a Roman banquet, at which time they dress up in sheets and become Romans for a day. FRENCH CLUB HAS Like the Latin Club, the French Club is exclusive to students who have taken or who are taking French. lt meets every month on the first Thursday to teach stu- dents more about the people, culture, and country they are studying. ln order to do this, the programs are varied fe sometimes music or plays, sometimes talks or reports. If the program officials can contact a per- son who toured France at one time or an- other, they do not hesitate to obtain his or her services for the club. One of the most interesting and most hilarious meetings that the club held this year was a skit about Little Red Riding Hood. The story was translated into French by students, and each character was portrayed very true to one's imagination by members of the club. This year Beverly Best was the presi- dent of the group. Her constant efforts were not in vain, as meetings were all very entertaining and well attended. Douglas NVeck was vice-president, Myrtle Iseman was secretary, and Dorothy Stone was treasurer. This was Miss Ulberg's first year FULL CALENDAR here, but she worked very enthusiastically with the officers to provide programs that would interest all the members. A picnic was held at Elmwood Park in the fall, and a Christmas party was thrown,, in the cafeteria. Valentine's Day was made even a more gala occasion by the social hour sponsored by the French Club. Big red hearts and little red hearts were strung everywhere, and music was played to fit in with the atmosphere. Climaxing the season's full calendar, Sherwood's was the scene of a lovely spring banquet.

GIRLS LEARN LIBRARY TECHNIQUE Under the supervision of Miss liergliot Stephenson and Miss Ahnelyne Flint, the twenty-two girls i11 the Library Club learn filing, stacking, slipping, shelving books, and other general library work. The new girls meet regularly each week for instruc- tions, and at least one social and one busi- ness meeting is held every month by the entire club. At the end of the year a test is given covering the basic facts a librarian should know. XVl1en a girl passes this test, she is then trained to become an assistant librarian. This last year the club was led by Bon- nie XVhyte, president, and Dorcas Voigt, vice-president. Three study periods a week and turns after school comprise each girlts routine. Don't be afraid to ask these girls for help - they want you to! Members of the Library Club are Mary Atkins, Ruth Bailin, Donna Baumgardner, Frances Boyd, Dorothy Elmen, Peggy Fleischer, Ethel Fossuin, Marguerite Fritz, Irene Fundaum, Mary Louise Gerlinger, Clarine Goodsell, VVilma Graff, Phyllis Harum, Rosalie Hobart, Jeannette Johnson, Edna Mae Look, Alta Faye Nelson, Mary Schuknect, Ytlanda Stucker, Dorcas Voigt, vice-president, Raeburn Voigt, and Bonnie XVhyte, president.

BIOLOGY ADDICTS HOLD FIRST INITIATION In their new and complete quarters, tl1e Biology Club now has the facilities to carry on its more advanced study of Biol- ogy, which is the aim of that organization. Many outside speakers have talked to the club on biological subjects, and members of the faculty have also contributed. Among the most interesting speakers have been the following: a veterinarian who spoke on his profession, Mrs. Getty, who gave a discussion on birds, Mr. Duncan, who told about the endocrine glands, and Mr. Mag- grett, who spoke on the Geology of Minne- haha County? The club,s main social event was its first initiation party which was held this fall. In order to be a member of the club one must have been initiated at this time. After the ceremony, entertainment was provided in the form of games and swim- ming. The club which consists of about thirty members is ably headed by Myrtle Iseman, president. Duane McKenna is the vice- president, and Dorothy Carnicle is the social chairman. Phyllis Fenstermaker is the secretary-treasurer. Hikes and field trips provide good times for the members, and many speci- mens are added to the biological displays as a result of them. The Biology Club meets on the second and fourth Monday of every month. Any student who has taken Biology is invited to join. The faculty advisers are Miss Benson Mr. Duncan, Mr. Maggrett, and Mr. Thur- ston. 9 Top-The Biology Club goes en masse on a field trip.

Connie Schager, the senior candidate, was elected the Sweet- heart ofiVVashington High for 1940. Other candidates were Edlyn Guse, fresh- man, Blossom Olsen, sophomoreg and Margaret Knudson, junior. At this same time, the coveted XVashington High Play- ers' Awards were given to the five stu- dents who, in the opinion of the clubis advisers, Laurence Brewster, Emily Elvestrom, and Robert Chaussee, had the necessary qualities- definite amount of work, all-round participation in club activities, and high interest and attitude. The honor was first bestowed by Lyle NVirt in 1039, and the winners received a small gold medallion containing a seed pearl for each year's membership in the club. The five winners were not an- nounced until the dance, and they in- cluded XVendall Cook, who received his second pearl, Robert Rock, John Dunham, Renae Archer, Bob Margulies, and Marilyn Stark. Two three-act plays besides several one-act plays have been presented. Laurence Brewster has shown remark- able agility in becoming acquainted with the school in his one year and has directed an unusually large number of productions for this short time. He is also an active sponsor of the Dramatic organization which claims between 150 and 200 members. The members elected John Dunham, presidentg Jeane Monick, vice-presidentg and Renae Archer, secretary-treasurer. The fall three-act play was entitled Skidding', and featured tl1e Hardy fam- ily of the movies, while the spring pre- sentation was a mystery called The Thirteentli Chair. This play was an experiment as there were no comedy roles, but it went over big', with the audience. 2 ,Q ,Jia H, f If If A wr ..,A 1.

'K x QUILL and SCROLL INITIATES TWENTY-SIX The YVashington Higl1 School Chapter of thc Quill and Scroll. the International Honorary Society for High School Journal- ists, expanded its sphere of influence dur- ing the past year by increasing its enroll- ment to thirty-five members. Ot' this 11u1n- ber, 26 are new members and comprise, possibly, the largest number of initiates to enter this organization at one time. Regard- less, this society still remains the most ex- clusive club i11 VV.H.S. The main and most colorful event of the year for this organization was the ban- quet and initiation ceremonies held for the new members. This club has no fundamental pur- poses. It is regarded more as an honorary society than a social organization. It admits into its folds only the most out- standing journalists of the high school. Officers for this year are Don Engen, presi- dentg Mary Sproesser, vice-president, Betty Markley, treasurer, and Kenneth Otterson, secretary. Members of Quill and Scroll are Danna Schroyer, Betty Markley, Dorcas Voigt, Mary Sproesser, Ber- clyne Miller, Bernice Shapiro, Tom Steensland, Ken- neth Otterson, Don Eugen, Jeni Marotta, Shirley Pankow, Bob Vvendling, Marjory Mooney, Louis Hall, Dorothy Elrnen, Charles Fusfield, Eleanor Sloan, Roy Marker, Mary Boardman.

The publication was reduced to about the size of the Reader's Digest and contained 79 pages which were filled with the finest literary compositions our aspir- ing young authors could provide. CHIPS, was the name picked for the magazine, probably because it was built around the flying fragmentary brain children of XV.H.S. students. After suffering some set-backs com- mon to most publications, UCHIPSU was finally presented to the printers and emerged a literary and financial success. To raise money to forward this en- deavor, it was necessary for the creative writing class to stage two dramatic presen- tations for the public. One was a comedy and the other a serious play, which was enjoyed very much. Thus CHIPS,,' which began with one purpose-to discover youthful authors, developed a second rea- son for being, by bringing budding drama- tists to light. Because of the success of the first sem- ester CHIPS,,' Miss Baker provided for a second semester magazine to be edited by Kenneth Otterson, poet laureate of VV.H.S. The first staff was composed entirely of members of the creative writing class, but the second semester the magazine took articles written by free lance students. Top-The staff of CHIPS. lst row-B.

New ideas and experiments played a prominent part in the Orange and l5lack's fthe official newspaper of XYashington High Schooll undertakings this year. First, there was a general shakeup in the system of reporting. To get more news of student interest, a plan was inaugurated whereby every first period class chose a home-room reporter who was to see that everything of interest in his or her room reached the ORB. office. lt was only after realizing that the staff members could not reach 2,300 students that this plan went into effect. A staff reporter was placed in charge of the home-room reporters, and a business man- ager was appointed, after being omitted from the masthead for several years. The newspaper, for the first semester of this year, operated 011 a frequency of 18 stu- dents, the smallest staff in many years. The result was efficiency! A professional atmosphere was created by the formation of a beat sheetw from which the members of the staff selected their beat or regular assignments for the year. Features of school interest were pushed, and the results were polls in which the students could participate, articles on classroom activities, topics of interest at the moment, and seasonal articles. The annual gathering of the National Press Association held this year in Chicago, lll.. found ten lnembers of the 0. 8: B. staff and the adviser, Martha Delbridge, present. , The ten members were Tom Steensland, Kenneth Otterson, Ira Koplow, Don Eugen, Merle Driver, Bill lining, Bob Vtlendling, Mary Sproesser, Jeni Marotta, and Dorcas Voigt. These students had the privilege of taking part in the various activities at the convention, meeting new people, and seeing Chicago in general. YVhen they returned to home stamping-grounds, they were en- riched with new ideas and outlooks in the journalistic field. This was the largest rep- resentative group from NV.H.S. ever to go to a national journalistic convention. Closer to home, seventeen students attended the SDHSPA held in Brookings. At this convention, the U. Sc B. was awarded a cup for having the best printed paper for schools with more than 500 students. The award was for the 1938-39 issues. Veteran members of the Orange :SL Black staff are Tom Steensland, editor, Kenneth Utterson. associate editor, Ira Koplow, business manager, Dick Struck, sports editor, Bernice Shapiro, city news editor, Don Countryman, photographer. Reporters are Mary Arveson, Merle Driver, Margaret Frank, Betty Markley, Jeni Mar- otta, Lorraine Penny, Alice Louise Buys, Mary Sproesser, Dorcas Voigt, Raeburn Voigt, Bob XVendling, and Ray Loftesness. New members who came in at the end of the first semester are Ray XVendling, Jean Stride, Bozina Palmer, Bob Montgom- ery, Louis Hall, and Lynne Stout.

GI ES RANKS BY DEGREES The Natio11al Forensic League is an honorary organization, members of which have attained twenty or more points in de- bate, declamation, or forensics. These are tabulated according to wins, losses, and non-decisions of speakers in various con- tests in which they have participated. Rank- ings in the League are given by Degrees, highest of which is the Degree of Distinc- tion. The number of points a person has determines to which of the four Degrees his or her rating belongs. The purpose of the club is to promote the interests of interscholastic debate, ora- tory, and public speaking. This is done by encouraging a spirit of fellowship and by giving points to deserving speakers. President of the speakers this year is Allan Norlin, vice-president is lilaine Simons, and Chuck Fustield is secretary- treasurer. Other members are John Dun- ham, Joe XVcigel, Marvin Bailin, Alice Thomas, Rogness Johnson, Marjorie NVheeler, and Robert Spidle. Most of these are one year veterans and have yet to attain the higher degrees. The following pictures are in the group at the top of this page: Top, left'-The officers of the National Forensic League are Blaine Simons, vice-presidentg Allan Norlin, president, and Chuck Fusiield, secretary- treasurer. Bottom, left-fConnie Kleinheinz and Rogness John- son represented VV.H.S. in the extemp and oratorical contests conducted in connection with N.F'.L.

Rog really goes into debate, declam, oratory, and extemp in a big way. His two original orations were The Old VVorld and the New and Tipping the Scales of Justice. First place in the divisional contest for extemp and debate with Al Norlin, made him eligible for state competition. Here he won 2nd in extemp, and Allan and he won 2nd in debate. They are now planning to go to the National Contest. lncidentally, Rog qualified for declamation, oratory, and dramatic reading i11 the local contest. DECLAM HAS S In spite of the lack of veterans in the field of declamation, untried newcomers came through with surprising success. I11 the local contest, Arlys Miller in poetry, Gill Paulton with a dramatic reading, Elzaheth Graff in oratory, and Danna Schroyer with a humorous selection emerged as victors. Similar victories took them through the district contests. Further competition in the divisional meet meant the elimination of Elzabeth, last yearis state poetry winner. Soon after this, Danna and Gill met their XVaterloo,, in the state tournament. Arlys Miller topped all contestants in her field and thus gained the right to enter the national contest. Much credit for this yearis success must be given to Miss Hospers, assisted by Miss Strahon and Miss Kleinsasser.

Miss Strahon did very well, however. in handling the numerous lirst year speakers. There was no douht during the entire season that Al Norlin was hy far the supe- rior in the iield. Later, Hog Johnson proved to he a line partner for him. Their true worth was not discovered until the linal de- hate ee the State Tournament -4 in which they took second, which was no surprise to those who had heard them. Miss Strahon tried to give all the dehat- ers on the first squad a chance to get exper- ience so as to hetter prepare them for nex' year.

Many big tournaments were included in this year,s roster. Of these, the Northern Normal contest high-lighted our attempts for honors. Here the debaters took second place. This was the peak of the regular season as far as debating strong teams was concerned. Before that, a group traveled to St. Peter, Minnesota, but only got as far as the preliminaries. The Watertown tour- ney, which has always been a testing grounds for state strength, was next. When the wins were tallied, Sioux Falls stood next to last with Watertown first. At Ver- million our debaters took a three to three average. Finally the squad came home to display for us their ability in the Big-8 con- test, largest before the state eliminations. Thomas and NVeigel were pitted against the powerful Watertown team and other strong STATE RUNNERS-UP squads and, though they lost these debates, they made a iine showing. Usually the team has a Big-4, the cream of local debaters, but we were lack- ing one this year. First, because only Norlin and Johnson were really outstanding, and secondly, because Chuck Fusfield, Blaine Simons, and John Dunham, other veterans, dropped the course mid-year. For next year, Marvin Bailin, Alice Thomas, and Joe Weigel are the best bets. Coach Mary Strahon, who came to us this year, must be complimented on her fine handling of the material she had, and for producing the runners-up in the State Competition. She is to be feared next year. The second squad as usual had a fine season, the reason being Mr. Parkinson, the best handler of second stringers in the state. He promises to send up strength for next year's team. Good luck to him-but need we say that-he always has it. Under the direction of Miss Deer of the Clothing department, the girls who repre- sent both food and clothing in the Home Economies department have reorganized again after a period of three years. Pre- sided over by Janette Guenther, they are learning to become better hostesses and to conduct business meetings. Their meetings are bi-monthly, alternately a social and a business meeting. Approximately 25 girls attend regularly. It is the plan of the club to have outside speakers give their views and to secure guidance in the homely arts of knitting and crocheting. Some of the aims that the girls have set up for the club are the following: 1. To develop professional spirit and cooperation among the members. 2. To inform the girls of the opportun- ities offered by Home Economics as a pro- fession. 3. To otTer an opportunity for the girls in the department to show the rest of the school and its patrons their activities. Al. To provide opportunities for recrea- tion, play, and social contact. The officers for the year, besides Jan- ette Guenther as president, are Shirley Mills, vice-president, Betty Henderson, sec- retary, and Dorothy Baker, treasurer. Bottom-The Home Economics girls in the picture are tleft to rightl Jean Groetken, Eris MeGriff, Mar- garet Miller, Olive Freriehs, Doris Clark, Cleo Mathe- son, Madeline Neiderhauser, Dorothy Mathis, Eva Quigley, Lillian Quigley, Edith Mussler, and Betty Vtfaggoner.

Two of XV.H.S.'s newest clubs are the Chess Clubs e-- Pawn Pushers for boys, and Chataranga for girls. ' Pawn Pushers was organized four years ago by a group of boys who wanted to start a club devoted to tl1e playing of chess. Mr. Zalesky and Miss Baker, the ad- visers, report excellent attendance of all sixteen members at the meetings. In order to join Pawn Pushers one must pass a thorough going overv by the members and be voted in. The annual tournament was played again this year and for the first time a cup was given. Roy Marker was the King this year. Since girls who were interested in chess couldn't join the boys' club, they started a club of their ow11 and called it Chataranga. Miss Baker is the adviser and Miss Nilsson is her assistant. Records of minutes of each meeting are kept in the Queen's Diary? This organization is also exclusive and limits its membership to 12fmembers being voted in similar to the Pawn Pushers. For the final meeting of the year, the girls have a dinner party and crown the next year's queen. Connie Kleinheinz was the Queen for 1940. A joint meeting was held this year at which time the clubs were matched against each other. The boys won, but the girls tell them to wait until next year! Snappy gray and red uniforms, crack precision, instant attention, and large re- pertoire make it a thrill to see and hear the XVashington High School Band. The director of the band, Mr. Thomp- son, has trained his organization to be almost professional. lt has played at state fairs, assemblies, athletic contests, parades, and last year presented a program when the Tri-State Mark was dedicated. The state of South Dakota appointed the hand as its official representative to the New York XVorld's Fair last summer. Mr. Thompson and his hand really did them- selves proud, as they played for King George and Queen Elizabeth of lingland and later were presented on a coast-to-coast broadcast originating in XVasbington, D. C. On November 28 and 29, the high school and people of Sioux Falls had a chance to hear this outstanding group give its first concert of the year. On February 27, it presented its second appearance and featured two soloists-Teola Xvecsner and Lloyd Leaders. The money gained by these perform- ances will be used to finance a trip to be taken about the second week in May. Pierre, S. D., Black Hills, YVyo., Denver, Colorado, and Lincoln, Nebr. are listed in its itinerary. Last year the band purchased new gray and red uniforms to replace the black and orange ones it had had for so many years. Each student has a regular uniform and also a fatigue uniformi' which is worn while traveling. Mr. Thompson's uniform of white and gold makes a stunning contrast. The picture below was taken in Washington, D. C., and includes the following people standing before the band: Representative Francis Case, Representa- tive Karl Mundt, Senator Chan Gurney, Ex-Senator Burke, Senator Bill Bulow, and Leslie Crow, Gurney's secretary.

This four-year old organization has 77 members who make up a full symphonic instrumentation, and this year it began to make itself well known. On December 13, it combined with the chorus to give the first joint concert in the history of the school, it played for the S.l7.li.A. in a combined concertg and in April it entertained the Rotary Conference with its music. The orchestra's really outstanding presentation was on April 2, when it played a complete program. Featured among the mnnbers was iiRll3lBStJtlj' in Blue by George Ger- shwin, which showed this group off to its best advantage. Mr. lloover, the director, has been lIlllSlC2llly inclined all his life and has been teaching music for about 13 years. During his college career he was soloist with the South Dakota State College Military Band. llc has a wide knowledge of instruments and can get a tune out of practically every kind of instrument. XVhenever Mr. lloover gets the orches- tration for a standard selection, he also gets a recording of it. By means of these records, students are able to assimilate the musical thought and thus give a much bet- ter interpretation. 'l'his also adds a great deal to their appreciation. Before concerts, each student must play for Mr. lloover every selection which is to be included in the pro- gram. All practices are conducted fourth period as most of the students in the orchestra are busy with many other school activities. Getting ready lo leave for thc East.

Forming a club, this group was presided over by Jack Stewart, president, Avis Grundy, vice-president, and Shirley Baker, secretary-treasurer. Before work on the operetta was begun, the club Inet regularly once a week in preparation for out-of-town concerts and presentations within the city. On all occasions the chorus was commended on the excellence of its selections. The Mocking Bird by Sydney Rosentield was chosen for this year's operetta. The story takes place in a little French settlement during the eighteenth century. France, the mother country, has just sent over a shipload of peasant lasses fknown as cassettes D to provide wives for the colonists. XVhen Manon De Lange, one of the new cassettes, be- comes the ward of the Governor Aubrey, the Governor's aide, Eugene De Lorme, brings news that the weak French king has ceded Louisiana to the Spanish. Amid the great excitement, it develops that Manon is the Countess Antoinette, otherwise known as the Mocking Bird. Bob Finchley, a young Virginian, falls in love with Manon and promises to help her save Louisiana for the French. As the plot weaves to the close, the rallying song of the Mocking Bird has been chosen as the signal for the French attack, and as it is sung, the colonists drive the Spanish troops back from New Orleans, out into the gulf, and win a complete victory. Chosen for the leading roles were Karl Hansen as Bob, Marciene Swenson as Manon, Don Hawley as the Governor, and Jack Stewart as Eugene. David Neuroth, Avis Grundy, Layton Corning, and Jean Monick have supporting roles. Bottom, left-One of lVIr. Bohlke's chorus classes joins in on a little harmony.

COACH WDOD A llc is Coach Howard XVood to after- dinner speakersg Mr. VVood to strangers, Howard to intin1ate friends, and Coach to the hundreds of boys he has coached through the years. Coach, or the little general? as he is often referred to, is not as interested in set- ting up records and winning games, as he is i11 putting out winning boys who have been taught to take it in defeat as well as in victory and who will show up well in later life. For thirty years he has directed the athletic policies of the school and has gained for himself and the school nation- wide famewfor the school, its impressive record in victories and sportsmanship, for himself, well earned recognition as one of the best high school coaches in the country. For nearly every one of his thirty years, Coach has produced at least one championship team in basketball, football, or track. Long may his future teams be a tribute to his ability! ND ASSISTANTS Coach XVood's assistant with tl1e first squad is C. R. Beck flower rightj, who for thirteen years has coached the line in dif- ferent methods of attack and defense. HC. R, as he is commonly called by his associates, was all-state for two years while attending Dakota XVesleyan and has been athletically minded since his high school days. On the other side of the fence are three sub-coaches who help teach the fundamen- tals of football. VVally Diehl fupper leftl, BU squad basketball and football coach, is an alumnus of S. D. State College. He wo11 letters for three years in both basket- ball and football while with the Jack- rabbits. The freshman,, coach is Doc Evans fupper rightb, physical education director and a graduate of the U. of Minne- sota. His job was to train a section of the scrubs and to help tape the regulars before the games. Fred Kohoutek, who uses phrases from the gridiron to express his views in the class room, trains and drives the scrubs and then watches them advance to coveted positions on the first team. MONOGRANI BOYS ANNUAL Above is a picture of part of the Monogram Club at one of its meetings.

Leon Corning, presidentg Barry French, vice-president, Len Huck, secretary, Fletch Cowley, treasurer, and 50 other members constitute the enrollment of the Monogram Club. For the first time in the history of the club a constitution was drawn up and went into effect after the first semester. The activities of the club for the year began with an initiation which was held at the Y, for those who received monograms for the first time. Ice cream, cake, and hot dogs were enjoyed by all of the young gen- PRACTHHl FOR DANCE tlemen present f did l say gentlemen? VVhen the shin-dig got under way, initiates began to suffer from some of the ingenious devices thought up for their benefit by their more gracious hosts. For days afterward, some of the initiates felt very, very blue - in fact, black and blue! The next project undertaken by the organization was the distribution of candy among the spectators at basketball games. One night after school on second floor where all good social hours are held, a practice session was conducted for the boys of brawn and power in preparation for their annual monogram dance. As the social elite did all the latest turns and twists with apparent ease, the muscle- bound athletes threw blocks, tackles, and hacked all over the place. Profits from this and the concession previously mentioned went into the 'tkittyv which was used to help sponsor their annual dance at the Arkota, April 19. So ends one of the most successful years for the club. TRACKSTERS WIN SEVENTH STRAIGHT CONFERENCE Hardly had the shadow of I'orky,', the groundhog, faded from the earth before a number of aspiring athletes started condi- tioning themselves for the spring campaign under the direction of Coach Elmer Han- sen. Returning from the 538 championship squad were A. Kilness, D. VanDerl'ol, F. Cowley, A. Brown, A. Erickson, and 0. Rob- inson, captain-elect. New cindermen were R. Farrell, C. Claussen, IS. French, J. Gregg, E. Olson, D. Allan, K. Jacobson, and B. Quigley. Robbie specialized in distance races and last year broke the S. D. state half- mile record by shearing nearly 3 seconds oil the previous mark held by Yankton since 1926. A peculiarity about this record is that Al Brown ran it in 2.2 seconds better than the 1926 mark only to have il taken away from him 7 minutes later by Robin- son. From this incident comes his title 7-minute l3rown.', Al Brown and Fletch Cowley were elected to share the captaincy of next yearas squad. Members of the championship squad shown above are fleft to rightl front row-Don Allan, Bob Farrell, Kenny Jacobson, Chuck Claussen, Capt.

The iirst stop was at the Cherokee Relays on April 22, which was to serve more or less as a tune-up meet. Ilere our two mile relay team set a new record. April 29 was a big day for the track team, for XV.H.S. was entered in three meets, each held in a different city. It was on this day that Coach XVood took 12 of his thin-clads to the Drake Relays held at Des Moines, Iowa. Ilere the XVarriors estab- lished a new record for the two-mile relay. f 5n is sr fe XVhile Coach NVood was racing h prodigies at Des Moines, Coach Hansc took tive members to the Aberdeen Relaj in which only Class A high schools entere Result-XV.H.S. won the meet. Three more track men under Coax Hess that day competed in a Dell Rapit meet where Kilness chalked up a new pol vaulting record. Orange and black tracksters invadc Iowa on May 6, attended a track meet Estherville, and returned with first plat honors with 50 points. VVhile there, Robi son set new track records in the mile ar the half-mile events. Kilness vaulted to new record of 11 feet, 83A inches. The re of our boys showed up well by placing 4 winning in many of the other events. The Regional Meet held in Sioux Fal on May 13 found the YVarriors winnii nine events. Robinson, true to form, hrol the mile record, and Kilness set up a ne pole vaulting record, while 14 of our nic proved worthy of attending the State Co test. At the State Meet held at Aberdee May 19-20, XVashington High School wc 46 points and first place. Robinson ai Kilness again broke records. The XVarriors walked away with tx honors in the Conference Meet held Huron, May 27, by earning 7115 poin' This was our seventh straight conferen victory. At this meet, Robinson shaved tl mile record, and other fleetfoots either wt or placed high in the events they entere On June 10, to display the talents two of his most outstanding trackstei XVood entered Robinson a11d Kilness in tl Northwest Open Track and Field Meet Minneapolis. Kilness tied for third l jumping 12' 2 and barely missed 12't the winning height. XVhile Art was jum ing to new heights, Robby set an all-tin mark for S. D. preps or collegians by ru ning the half-mile in 1 :58. And so another successful seass ended for tl1e VVarriors with new recor made, and many trophies hanging in fro of the lodge.

ENN The XVarriors' ,39 tennis squad, which consisted of two sophomores, Martell Rud fleftj and Jack Kindred frightj, Went north to participate in the South Dakota State Tennis Tournament held in Brook- ings on September 8 and 9. This year these boys brought to the school for the fourth consecutive year the South Dakota tennis championship in the doubles division. ln the singles, Jack reached the finals, but was defeated by NVatertown's entry. The 19-10 divot diggers were less for- tunate than the tennis squad, receiving second place i11 the team play held at the annual tournament at the Brookings Coun- try Club, September 8 and 9. The James boys, James Faragher tleftl and James Derrick, comprised the home team. Although this is Faragheris first entrance in interscholastic golf com- petition, l1e had previously been awarded letters in both basketball and football. This has been Derrick's second year on the links squad. GULF H gf w ffm 1. Brewer H 2. VanDerPol f 3. M. Richards Q 4. Greenlee Thompson 1 6. Cusulos 7. Jones 8.

HWOODMEN' HAVE The VVarriors, '39 football schedule, one of the toughest ever given to a 'Warrior team, was completed November 11. Although the season wasn't a success in terms of games won, it still served its purpose in building up boys, both physically and mentally. Duluth Central was the first foe the locals met on the field of battle. In the fray the XVarriors lost part of their scalplock when beaten by the Trojans 19-7. The only VV.H.S. tally came in the second quarter when Corn- ing rifled a pass to l-Berger, who did some nifty broken field running to go across stand- ing up. VVoolhcater went through center for the extra point. The XVoodmen,, scored their first vic- tory at Mitchell by thrashing the Kernels 19-0. One score came in the first quarter and the other two in the last half. On September 29, the GShVO0tilI1Cl1,, pushed their way through the strong XVater- DIFFICULT SEASON town Arrows for 19 first downs and a 7-0 vic- tory after one of the hardest and best played games of the season. To celebrate Orange Letter Day and to commemorate Coach NVOod's 30th anniver- sary as Director of Athletics, the Rapid City Cobblers were invited as guests of honor. Un- like good hosts, the Warriors sent them home on the short end of the 18-6 score. Sioux City East was next in line and the XVarriors came out second best in a game which piled up 30 points for East High. The 'tVVoodmen,' were still unable to get the ball rolling in the game with Aberdeen. This XVarrior loss ended their hopes for the Eastern S. D. conference title. To the highly favored Sioux City Central Maroons, the XV.H.S. team stubbornly fell. making the fourth defeat of the season. Half of the Maroons' points came when a Central player fell on a fumble in the Sioux Falls end zone in the first period. The remaining points were earned in the fourth quarter. The Huron Tigers tossed another defeat into the laps of the XVarriors in the eighth game of the current season by chalking up a score of 17-0. The XVarrior eleven ended this year the victims of Duluth Denfield High School. The team showed strong defense but repeated fumbles gave Duluth the 7-0 score needed to win the game.

Here's a brief resume of ye olde basketball season. VVell oiled and efficient looking, the men of the court started from low to a victory over a wiry Estherville five. Shifting into second, Rock Rapids was next to fall before the local boys. And from here on, anything went. North High of Minneapolis was third to fall before the conquering VVarriors. During the Christmas holidays, the tribe took a cruise for western parts to do battle with Pierre and Rapid City, defeating the former opponent and falling in both of the two games played with the Cobblers. Undaunted, the VVarriors bounced back into Iowa to stop a strong squad from East High, and then went on to Madison to whip the local high school team there in ESD CONFERENCE the first conference tilt. Sioux City Central violated a ten-year tradition by upsetting the favored locals in a hotly contested bat- tle in the latteris camp. Four more teams fell before the VV.H.S. tribesters - Mitchell, Aberdeen, Brookings, and Huron. Two defeats fell into the laps of the lads while on the road, the first suffered at the hands of the VVatertown High Squad, and the second from a highly spirited and rejuvenated Mitchell five. Again the boys reached their stride to nose out Watertown at the end of two overtime periods, and then squeezed a victory from Brookings, followed by another from Huron. Aberdeen trounced the VVoodmen,' in the final game for each team, and as a result they split the ESD conference title. The Warriors won M of all the games they played. VVashington High had little trouble sweeping the field at the regional confer- ence held in Sioux Falls, but had to be con- tent with cellar position in the state con- ference which was held at Mitchell this year.

They are Cleft to rightj Merilyn Calkins, Bonnie VVhyte, Miss Pettigrew, Marjory Allman, Connie Magnuson, Morrise Brum- baugh, and Eileen Dyce. This picture looks as if these girls go in for plenty of action. It is a tournament game between the Blues and the Orange. The Blues got busy and put a lot of oomph,' into their playing and won the series. This is a picture of the biggest social event on the G.A.A. calendar -the G.A.A. dance. The girls usu- ally sponsor a car11ival, but this year they changed tradition and put on a dance with a carnival atmosphere. GIRLS' ATHLETICS ENCOURAGED Even before the time that gymnasium work was required of all students, girls' athletics were greatly encouraged. The Girls' Athletic Association was organized to give the gals,' a chance to use the gym for competitive games, such as basketball and volleyball, and to go on long hikes or swims in supervised groups. From such a small beginning, the G.A.A. has increased so much that it is considered one of thc foremost clubs in VV.H.S. Miss Pettigrevs and Miss Herrala, who are the physical edu- cation teachers, automatically become the advisers of the group. G. A. A. HAS SOCIAL LIFE, TOO The girls in G.A.A. don't spend all their time playing games or hiking, but they also take an interest in the social side of life. Once a year they have an all-school event -- until this year, it was a carnival - and they hold numerous parties for mem- bers. The dance they held this year was one of the most original and best dances held. A carnival atmosphere pervaded the Arkota as participants wore comical hats, threw confetti, and broke balloons when not trying the latest jitterbug step. The G.A.A. consider this a successful venture and will probably have it again next year. The athletic t'emmes,, believe that sports, the thingathe more action the better. So, of course, volleyball comes in for its share of glory with the girls. They consider it one of the best indoor sports. Each year the G.A.A. has a kid party for its members. The girls wear all kinds of outlandish costumes and compete for prizes given for the toughest kid, the cutest kid,', etc. ln the picture at the right the kids', are playing Drop the Handkerchieff, The Girls' Athletic Association boasts of a large membership that attend quite regularly. The girls want to come because competition and good sportsmanship are encour- aged among them. At right are a portion of the girls at one of the monthly meetings.
