MISS JONES During the school year of 1940-41 the Girl Reserves were active in many projects. Among them were the knitting of sweaters. the making of baby dresses, booties and bonnets for the Red Cross. The work was enjoyed by everyone who participated. After eighteen hours of work, the girls received a Red Cross emblem which symbolizes their service work for the American Red Cross. These garments when finished were sent to England to help clothe the refugee children. Every year the girls hold a Candlelight Service and present the new officers and members. The Girl Reserves donated money, as well as fruit. vegetables and canned food. for the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. ' ln September. the officers attended a conference at Camp Friloha to aid them in planning for their club programs for the year and to exchange ideas with girls from other clubs. ln April the Wellston Girl Reserve Club was represented at the Tri-City Conference at the Y. W. C. A. This conference was made up of girls from Alton, East St, Louis. St. Louis and St. Louis County. The day was spent in attending discussion meetings and participating in various recreations. The Girl Reserves' sixtieth birthday party was held at the Y. XV. C. A. on April 26. Many of the girls attended and a contribution was given by the club to aid the Y. W. C. A. in support of the work being done with girls in China. Great Britain. the Continent, and for refugees. The contributions will also provide for camp scholarships. The most exciting event of the Girl Reserves program was the week-end trip to Camp Montebello. Over half of the members attended and everyone reported a grand time.

f Although the students were kept quite busy with their academic subjects. they still found ample time in which to participate in the numerous extra- curricular activities. To certain individuals the number of the activities may have seemed limited in some respects, but the students can truthfully say that enough was offered to fulfill very generously the needs of the average person. The proud Trojans of Wellston, as well as her equally famous daughters. never once faltered when duty beckoned, but marched fearlessly to combat whether it was in dramatics, music, or athletics. Each club was given the undivided support of its members and as a result, every undertaking met with constant success. The outcome in athletics was evenly distributed between the girls and boys. Recognition was given to the musical groups and considerable praise was extended to the actors and actresses for their display of dramatic ability. The activities aforesaid truly prove the ideals and sportsmanship valued so highly by Wellston students. Twenty three fi'-.-i . ' ' - .-,' ,,.lp,, r ,W . . l m K - 4 Wd' .3 - L ' K4 .

Glee Club 1 The Glee Club is composed of pupils selected by the voice teacher. Certain requirements such as tone quality, sight reading, diction, etc., are necessary. There were ninety members, which met twice a week as a regular school subject, receiving M of a point credit. The A Cappella Choir, a smaller group of twenty-eight members was quite active this year. They appeared before P.-T. A. meetings, auditorium sessions, and church affairs. The Girls' Choir composed of sixteen members sang at the Musical Festival held at University City High School. They received a high rating as did the soloists from this group, Elizabeth Stuart and Evelyn Lloyd. Two years ago a band was organized under the direction of Mr. Eugene Van Meter assisted by Mr. Donald Hackett. The members of this band come from high, junior, and elementary schools. They have made great progress. This year was their first appearance. They played for the P.-T. A. who has helped to sponsor it and before an auditorium session. We wish for them every success.
