Our assemblies have been something of which everyone in the school may be proud. Who can tell, it might have been some of the ideas that our officers got at the Student Body Conference in Chico, or it Plight have been some more of Pete Timone’s and Le Grande Reid’s inspirations. The constitution of the dear old Alma Mater got quite a shaking up when the officers decided that it was not complete enough, and even more of a jolt when they started revising it. The students of the future will enjoy more liberties due to the hard Work and foresight of President, Le Grande Reid; Vice President, Pete Timone; Treasurer, Joe Meyer; Secretary, Virginia Dyer; Song Leader, Pat Jones; Yell Leader, Francis Bergstrom; and Business Manager, Bill Fowler. SENIOR HISTORY In September, 1931, a group of wandering minstrels met within the portals of W.H.S. and decided to hold regular meetings so that they might give one grand concert. They began their tuning up by choosing Le Grande Reid for their director and he soon became skillful at wielding the baton. Clementina Perry was elected composer and Joe Myer, concert master. At their next practice, they gave a Chinese pageant for the assembly and again for the Mother’s Club. The boys organized two football teams, the Redheads and the Steelheads. The next year, being eighth graders now, they were so well satis- fied with their director that they reelected Le Grande Reid. They conducted parties and sales that were extremely successful. The Freshmen, as they were popularly called, elected Darrell Rookiard, director, Richard Knudsen, second director, Virginia Dyer, concert master and Velma Prior, song leader. The Freshmen learned to organize and had a very profitable year. When they Were Sophomores they elected Nicholas Freemyer director; Pete Timone, second director; Velma Prior, composer; Joe Myer, concert master; Mae Craig, composer, and Francis Bergstrom, yell leader. The following year the Juniors elected Robert Smith, director; Le Grande Reid, second director; Joe Myer, concert master; Mae Craig, composer, and Francis Bergstrom, yell leader. The juniors sponsored sales and dances and helped to make the prom on May 16 an outstand- ing success. The Seniors elected Earl Prusia, director to lead them on to higher achievements and to prepare for their final concert. Betty Parker was elected second director; Betty Welder, concert Master, and Velma Prior, composer. They sponsored outstanding dances, the most outstanding being “The Roundup”. They also joined with the Juniors to sonsor the Prom on May Twenty-eighth. 8. VIRGINIA DYER— Pale Hands I Loved” 9. BILL FOWLER—“Just Plain Bill” 10. FRAJMCES FISHER—“Here, There And Everywhere” 11.

How did you manage to get seats? Frances—It wasn’t easy, but George McKeown owns the building where I have my penthouse and he wrangled seats from the twins. Marjorie—You don’t mean Richard and Raymond Hampson? Frances—The very same! But tell me about yourself — running all over Europe on your press assignments. Marjorie—We won’t talk about me—I want to hear about Westwood and the old class of ’37. Frances—-You’ll meet them all after the opera is over. We are to gather in the star’s dressing room and from there we go to supper. Marjorie—M-m, glad I came home. Frances—Two other globe trotters are back for this occasion, Charles Brown and Bill Fowfler. They’ve roamed the earth looking for fun. Marjorie—Hope they found it, the wasters. What about the other girls and boys? Frances—Oh, I play at my advertising job and with Betty Parker, President of these United States, Clarissa Campos, her secretary; Francis Bergstrom and Lynn Kerlee, senators from California, West- wood is well represented. Marjorie—What about Betty Welder and Virginia Dyer? Frances—Betty is a decorator, one of the best. These'new decorations are hers. Davney Olson is the Dean of Vassar; Virginia Dyer sings over the radio; Roy McKee manufactures Super motor cars; Elery Simpson is a lawyer; Mary Quarles is a European buyer; Hazel Utz runs a big hospital; and Henry Meyer is an architect. Frances—Do you know about Frank Phillips? Marjorie—Yes. he’s the chief engineer on the Atlantic Subway. Joe Myer is U. S. Treasurer, and don’t forget Evelyn Maxwell. She’s famous for her new methods of teaching. Frances—And get this, Velma Prior’s husband is the new Ambassador to England. Let’s see—there’s Pete Timone and Le Grande Reid, one a movie hero and the other a banker. Virginia Sweeney has a swank beauty salon on the avenue. Nick Freemyer is a famous radio technician. Lewis Browm is a press photographer. Dennis Morey, an author. Dick Knudsen explores on skiis. Earl Prusia is still log- ging at Westwood, only now he logs from a plane. Stan Emerson discovered a way to shoot radiotrons into second growth timber so that only a plane can top them. That accounts for all but Clayton Spindler. Bob 'Smith, and Mildred Osborne. Frances—This is the best of all—Clayton is guest conductor tonight. Bob wrote the opera, and Mildred is the Prima Donna. Shh! there’s the signal for the overture— Curtain Miss Hogan—Mary, Mary Rognon wake up, you’re talking in your sleep— Mary—(dazed) Huh? Not me! It was the gang. I was only dreaming. The curtain has been rung, The lights have gone up now. It is time, you Seniors, To take your final bow. The Halls will seem drab, Now that your work is done. We’re'going to miss you, But— Just having you was fun! —Dorothy Yanger.

Outside of being the richest class in the school they hooked on to Mr. Geeting as their class advisor. With the help of their president, Ellsworth Vandervate, they easily managed to keep the class keyed up in every activity of the year. Also sharing the honors of the staff were: Vice President, Don (Tommy-Gun-Pete) Hoffman, who lived up to his name and helped to keep things humming; Dean (Old Faithful) Fletcher, who spent the year crooning money-sweet notes to listening ears as treasurer; Secre- tary7, Rexalee (How could you) McNeal, so over-run by minutes that on February 13, 1937, she shuffled off to Buffalo, (Okla.). Marian (Trust in me) Hull then took upon her capable shoulders the tedious job of Secretary. Things began to clash wfhen the mighty Seniors began singing “You Can’t Pull the Wool Over My Eyes” but the clever Juniors merely whistled the tune, “I’ve Got a Feeling You’re Fooling” and then pulled off the first big dance of the year. This contributed a tidy sum to the eleventh grade musical box. Then the tune of the seniors changed to “I’ve Got My Fingers Crossed.” The war clouds began to drift away when the seniors surprised the juniors by giving them a party. After the attack of surprise wore off the eleventh grade returned the compliment. On the whole the junior class swung through the marvelous year of 1936-1937 and came out on top by having struck more silver notes in their treasury than any other class in school. SOPHOMORES This year the Sophomores chalked up a few notes for themselves on the High School music scale. Their president. Bill Simmons, who was a favorite of all, completed his term successfully. Norma Snook, the class secretary and treasurer, received much applause for her prompt and accurate reports. Ed Gazarian and Betty Grainger, the song and yell leaders, successfully upheld the spirit of the class. The Ex-Committee members were Norma Snook and Bill Simmons, who fulfilled their duties toward their classmates by keeping their privileges tuned up to the right key. The Sophomores also took part in football, basketball, baseball, and track and walked away with many of the honors in the inter-class games. Many of the boys willingly gave their assistance to the home team to help fight with rival schools. Besides their aid to the school, the class of ’39 kept themselves busy in keeping their bank account above par. They originated many new ideas such as popcorn ball sales at school and novelties at their dances. This class also had many hot dog sales and candy sales. Their greatest success of all was their Christmas Dance, which they gave on December eleventh. The hall was decorated with Christmas trees, holly, mistletoe, and other Christmas decorations. For a grand surprise, they arranged for “Old Santa” to arrive a little early so their guests could be well entertained by his jokes and jolly laughs. Now the Sophomores have done their share and have been given privilege of following the High School band as full fledged Juniors. FRESHMEN The class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty—the largest symphony of students in the Westwood Junior-Senior High School. Ninety-six strong, they have gone far on the scale of achievement under the direction of their President, Betty Ricks, and Advisor, Mrs. Huggins. The privilege of the first hot dog sale was theirs at the Westwood-Greenville game, where the dogs were running around to the melody of “Wanta Buy a Hot Dog?” This sale amounted greatly to the class fund. Candy sales, among other activities, played an important part as the class worked tirelessly with them. Dancing was also an interesting activity for the ninth grade class. Many seemed interested and willing to learn. They secured the audi- torium on different occasions after school and many times on Friday, danced with the girls in their physical education period. January 22, this class enjoyed its first night party. Games and dancing entertained the group, after which hot chocolate and ginger- bread and whipped cream were served. Dancing was resumed, after the refreshments. Sales and informal dances have been part of the year’s scale, but party sounded high “C” for them. EIGHTH GRADE “Oh if I had the wings of an angel. O’er these prison bars I would fly. I would fly to the arms of my poor darling And there I’d be willing to die.” Reaching outward. Matron Mitchell presses the button which opens the large iron door connecting her office. A guard appears with a message. She must go. There is to be a mass meeting. She follows the guard down the now empty passage; past empty cells into a large room where Virginia Jefferies, Keeper of the Prison Records, calls off the numbers representing the prisoners. Behind her sits captain of the guards Harry Knecht and his “yes- man”. Both are very solemn faced. The matron sits down near the door so she’ll be near if she is needed. The last number is called. The keeper of the records is seated. Then very unhurriedly Captain Knecht rises and walks to the center of the platform. The listeners wait expectantly. His voice booms out suddenly: “Something must be done! We are scheduled for a candy sale soon and it MUST go over big! It must net more profits! I want to make it big. If the profits are not big, I’ll have everyone of you exe- cuted, guilty or not! Meeting adjourned. He has, from all appearances, really frightened these poor prisoners of his. They are fairly falling over one another in their haste to get back to their cells. We find, upon investigation, that aside from putting signs on the blackboards not much advertising is done. But the sale is a success and no one is executed. My guess is they robbed a bank and bought themselves out. SEVENTH GRADE Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to go into our big show “The 1937 Kiddie Revue.” But before we really begin let us introduce some of our players. Jeanne Britton is the featured star with Otis Hibbs as her stand in. Dorothy Reed keeps all of the gate .receipts in addition to keeping the revue’s joint dairy. The chorus consists of this year’s seventh grade. Now not a star, not a player, but one of the reasons this show is such a success—the chief trainer and Big Boss, Miss Hogan, who with Mrs. Geeting’s help is rapidly making this show one of the outstanding features of our school. This group of little tots are very ambitious, as can be seen by the large number of sales they have given. They have had several candy and hot dog sales. They have also had a couple of parties, which were from all reports, great successes with plenty of good things to eat. Let us hope they will keep up the good work, this class of 1942, and they will soon be one of the chief prides and joys of our school. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE This year’s Ex Committee, organized under Mrs. Rodman’s super- vision, and with Le Grande Reid, President, was one of the most efficient and business-like committees yet seen in W.H.S. The new plan of giving class time for Executive Committee meetings was very satisfactory and did much to increase the efficiency of an already excellent organization. Much credit must be given to the Student Government Club for the use of its time to discuss the problems confronting the Executive Committee proper. The excellent co-operation of both Student Body and Faculty made it possible to plan and execute one of the best and fullest programs of Student Body activities seen at W.H.S. The year started off right when the highest Student Body Card sale on record brought in about $820. This Amount, combined with the money given by the State to the school, provided Ex Committee with the largest budget on record. The result was a very satisfactory number of games and sporting events as well as several special assem- blies and movies. The Ex. Committee was composed of several of the most respon- sible and outstanding students who worked hard and well to set a high example for next year’s Ex. Committee to equal or to exceed it if they can. STUDENT CONTROL Student Control was organized mainly to maintain order at school and at all functions where the school is directly represented. Many schools have tried to organize a law-maintaining body after the pattern of Student Control but haven’t been as successful with their organization as we have. Student Control is now going into its third successful year with Mr. Curtice acting as its advisor. A house-cleaning was held in the early part of the Spring. As a result new rules were added, and it was agreed that it would be better to decide upon the offender’s penalty after they had heard his story. Davney Olson was elected President; Tom Miley, Vice Pres., and Velma Prior, Secretary. Due to Davney’s resignation, Tom Miley became President and Le Grande Reid was elected Vice-president during the second semester. Stanley Emerson, Frances Fisher, and Ellsworth Vandervate were elected to fill the offices vacated by Earl Prusia, Davney Olson, and Charles Allan. Y. W. C. A. “Meeting come to order!” is the faint command of President Frances Fisher, a command scarcely heard in the turmoil of voices discussing a skiing party to be held at Mineral. “But we don’t want to buy our lunches,” comes the conclusion. “We’ll take them and then eat in front of the restaurant.” “Meeting please come to order!” This time Frances is success- ful and a hush falls over the group. “What do you girls think of having a food sale sometime this month?” Discussion and then a motion is made, seconded and carried. The food sale must go on! “Oh yes, girls, our monthly “Pot-Luck” supper is next week. Tuesday. Lets see that’s the second, yeah!” Next a motion is made that the Girl Reserves of Westwood organize a Christmas Benefit Drive to help the needy. It is approved. Discussion of the Convention to be held at Richardson Springs is brought up. Along with the fun and new friendships, the conven- tion is really a lasting benefit to them as it is a foundation for good character and a pleasing personality. So, dear reader, after you have peeked into the note-book of the secretary, Pearl Morey, you have found that they try to help and give others pleasure as well as having pleasure themselves. BAND The newly organized high school band is getting along wonder- fully under the very capable leadership of Mr. Mix. It will soon be ranking with the leading high school bands in Northern California. The band has already achieved recognition from the local 4-L and was asked to play at their Christmas Tree. During this spring they were again asked to play by the 4-L at one of-their regular meetings. The money received from these performances is being saved to cover the expenses that will be contracted in the future. The 4-L have very generously offered to buy capes and hats for the uniforms of the members of the band. The great improvement accomplished by the band during the school year was noted when the members took part in the Open House program. Mr. Stanchfield, who was largely responsible for the organi- zation of the band at Westwood High School and also at many of the other schools in the state, returned in the spring to take moving pictures of the band in action. Sound pictures were expected to be taken, but it was decided to take them later this year when the band is further advanced. ORCHESTRA The orchestra, also under the leadership of Mr. Mix, is very- small but very peppy. It has made several public appearances and has performed in assembly a few times. Popular pieces, overtures, and marches are being played by them, not to mention the waltzes. It is expected that next year many of the members of the band will join the orchestra; thereby, making a larger and better school orchestra. OPERETTA As a high spot in the 1937 Chipmunk’s salute to music, the operetta, “Hulda of Holland” a three-act comedy by Dodge and Dodge was triumphantly presented by Mr. and Mrs. Geeting on May 5 and 6. The cast was a large one, but each part was capably handled. The players were as follows: Peter Cats, a descendant of the great Jacob Cats, Le Grande Reid; Jacob Hoogenbeets, Peter’s bosom friend. Bob Brown; Hulda, Peter’s daughter was played by two people, Betty Huyett in the afternoon. May 5, and Janis Jones in the evening, May 6; Katrina, Hulda’s best friend was also a double part, with Viola Famey playing on May 5 and Drusilla Irwin, on May 6; Jerry Heyden, an American traveling abroad, Don Hoffman; Vrouw Cats, Peter’s wife, Alice McCrea; Jan Steen, an artist from America, Francis Bergstrom; Jimmy Stone, an American, and Jerry’s pal, was another double part taken by Morris Markee and Don Prusia; Dirck, a man of work, Dennis Morey; Adrian Steen, Jan’s father from America, Pete Timone; and Cornelius Heyden, Jerry’s father from America, Ellsworth Vander- vate. There was also a large chorus composed of Junior and Senior high school students. The story was one of modem Holland with the scene laid in Scheveningen, Holland. Hulda was betrothed to Jan Steen when they were both infants, but when they were brought together as adults. Hulda decided that she loved American Jerry Heyden. Peter Cats anfl Adrian Steen were determined that their children should marry, but after Peter drove Jerry from his home he realized that Hulda could never have been happy with Jan, so he relented and the operatta ended on a happy note. PUBLISHING THE LUMBERJACK Throughout the school year the bi-weekly Lumberjack has, with the help of Mrs. Graham’s typists, been written and published by Mrs. Geeting’s sixth period creative writing class. On Monday, various page editors give out their assignments and soon after, room seventeen hums with the sound of student reporters busily getting interviews and writing up their articles. While the reporters work on their assignments, the page editor keeps himself busy making out the first dummy sheet for his page. After the pre- liminary dummy sheet outline is made, Tuesday’s work is done. As sixth period Wednesday comes around, all students are finishing up articles which must be in, for Wednesday is the dead-line. Articles, after being handed in, are checked for errors and sent to the typing room to be typed. On Thursday, with the typewritten artiqles in their possession, the page editors complete the dummy page by pasting the articles on it, together with cuts, illustrations, and headlines. The paper is now ready for the stenciling and mimeographing process. Finally, the finished sheets are stapled together, counted, and passed out sixth period Friday. This, in brief, is how our school paper, the Lumberjack, has been put out for the year 1936-37. We sincerely hope that its 15 issues, in addition to its 3 magazine literary supplements, have been pleasing in every respect. ANNUAL STAFF As the baton swung into action by the editor, Dorothy Yanger, the Annual began to take on shape and volume. Miss Hogan, -our advisor, gave us new notes and scales to add to the years composition. Newsgatherers put their ears to the test while they were seeking new ideas and stories to make the book interesting and worthwhile for our audience. On the first three days of April the greatest percentage of the Annual Staff members shook notes and staffs out of their minds to attend the press conference held in Berkeley. On their return, minds were again on the formation of the Annual and it’s distribution. As the audience was hearing and criticizing our bit of work, in our hearts was a prayer that as the years go by we will bring back many dear memories of the term spent at Westwood High. R.O. H. Although the Royal Order of Homemakers have not been estab- lished for a very long time they are functioning regularly and as well as some of the old timers. Mrs. Brabham, their advisor, helped to make the term interesting and pleasant for the girls. The early part of April, the girls went to Chico to attend the R. O. H. Conference. Mrs. Brabham accompanied the girls on their journey. Throughout the term, the girls have given food sales and other affairs to earn money for use in the club and to have for pleas- ures as well. Each member has a pin for the order and there are increasing numbers of symbols worn on the dresses of the Royal Cook . For the time the club has had to get where it is, we say, “An orchid to you, R. O. H. Members.” FOOTBALL Top Row—Bill Simmons, Earl Prusia, Charles Allan, Richard Knudsen, Bill Moe, Vendel Wilkie, Lowell Newman, Eddie Chatoian, Stanley Emerson, Derrel Wilson, Glenn Haas.

At first we despaired us of victory The Turkey-men kept on the run But our Lumberjacks tightened defenses And this is the way it was done: Three pretty girls at the goal posts— Westwood failed to score Coach dug up half a dozen Then looked for twenty-one more. Lumberjacks seemed to be tiring, But looked once more at the Cot And went over the top for Westwood. Here was the vict’ry we sought! n M FOOTBALL Football season needed no announcement, for it was officially heralded in by groans, caused by overtaxed muscles, bruised bones, and by the aromatic smell of liniment. Many an inquiring glance was cast at Coach Maxey, who after a careful survey of the possible material, wore a continual grin. After but a week of strenuous scrimmage, the Lumberjacks were challenged by the Alumni. The game proved one sided, however, and ended 36-0, in favor of the Alumni. Reminded by this hard lesson, the “green” team settled down somewhat, and in their second game, they tied with Oroville, 6-6. Once again the Lumberjacks left their rock strewn field, this time their stamping ground was in the Redding disrict. After the dust of the battle had cleared away, the score remained 12-6, in favor of the Shasta Wolves. A week later, the Lumberjacks again left their mountain retreat, and it was not long before they found that the path which they were following, led towards Red Bluff. They plunged in with high hopes, but came out on the short end of the score, 54-0. After this series of gruelling games, the Westwood squad was in perfect condition for the oncoming games with Alturas and Lassen. In the Alturas game, it seemed almost inevitable that Westwood would carry away the bacon, but with a last determined effort, Alturas kicked a long field goal and fixed the score at 9-7. The stage was now set for one of the most upsetting games of the season, for at last Westwood had come face to face with their most bitter opponent. When the teams gathered upon the Lassen battlefield, their desire for victory was mutual. At this point, however, Mother Fate stepped in, and put a caressing hand on the Westwood team. When the final dust of battle had cleared away, the score stood 12-0 in favor of Westwood. This was Westwood’s first victory over Lassen in seven years, and the third time in the history of the high school. BASKETBALL When the first flurry of snow had fallen, and Coach Maxey had sounded the call for all local hoopsters to report to the Auditorium for the first basketball practice, Westwood High School’s athletes cast off their canvas pants, shoulder pads, and kleats, and donned woolen jerseys, short pants, and canvas shoes. From the first practice, it looked as though Westwood would carry the torch after the last game had been played. The “B” team, whose members had played together for years, proved to be the most successful. At the end of the year, they could boast of having won every high school game they played, as well as one with Lassen Junior College. The “A’s”, who were not quite so successful, managed to carry away the championship of the league after a series of close games. The “C’s”, whose members were green at the beginning of the season, proved to be a favorite with fans at the end of the season. After one of the most spectacular games of the season, they easily carried home the championship of the league. Little need be mentioned about the “mighty midgets”, commonly known as the “D’s”, for their fame is widespread as one of the roughest and fastest teams in the nearby locality. The 7th and 8th grade teams are to be congratulated for their sportsmanship and fine cooperation during their series of games “be- tween the halves”. With a few years of experience these teams will be a valuable asset to Westwood High School on the basket ball floor. Westwood High School has risen from obscurity to recognition among larger schools on the athletic field. A good deal of credit should be given to Coach Maxey and Mr. Frost for their untiring efforts to make Westwood’s teams more successful than even before. TRACK Under the careful supervision of Coach Curtice, Westwood had one of its most successful track seasons this year. As soon as old man winter had withdrawn his wintry cloak from Westwood’s track field, and retreated into the North, Westwood’s fleetest and most talented athletes donned their spikes and limbered up. After a week of practice, Mr. Curtice took the track team to Orland, where the “B” team jogged its way to third place, bringing home six medals to adorn Westwood’s already crowded trophy case. Among those who sprinted to high honors was Hanlon Tharpe, who broad jumped to a first place in “A” class competition. What the “A” class track team lacks in number, it miakes up in ability. The remaining schedule in ' which Westwood High School’s athletes hope to compete is: April 17—Lassen county vs. Plumas county, at Susanville. April 24—Alturas, Westwood and Lassen, at Alturas. May 1—Lassen, Westwood, Greenville, Quincy and Portola, pre- liminary N.C.H.S.A.L., at Susanville. May 8—N.C.H.S.A.L., at Colusa. May 15—N.S.C.I.F., at Modesto. May 22—State “A” Meet, at Long Beach. BASEBALL After the last traces of “Winter’s Touch” on Westwood had disappeared and light breezes had sprung up from the South, all local baseball enthusiasts turned out to support their Alma Mater. This year Coach Maxey predicts that he will have a much better team than he had last year. Lacking only two varsity players from last year, as well as gaining seven or eight competent players, the team faces a larger and better schedule than ever before. The probable schedule is, two or three games wtih a town team, one with Los Molinos, three with Lassen, and two with the Secret Valley C.C.C. The competition for positions is greatly increased from that of last year, and in some cases there are as many as four players trying out for a single position. This year there are three capable pitchers to replace “Honk” Hornshuh. They are, “Red” Rolphe, “Chuck” Allen, and Don Hoff- man. Which of these candidates is to fill the position, is unknown, but it is assured that the race will be a close one. If Westwood defeats Lassen in baseball, it will be the third consecutive sport in which they have beaten them so far this year. TENNIS For the first time in the history of the high school, tennis has been added to the list of sports. It was accepted very enthusiastically by both girls and boys. As proof of this there were doubles and singles for boys and girls and also mixed doubles. The elimination matches were played very slowly due to the lack of good weather and conflicting activities. On May 15, there were tournament matches against Susanville. These were to be played by the boys but after the good work and hard talking of Miss Hogan and Pearl Morey, the girls also obtained a few matches. Tennis was accepted with such enthusiasm that the sport will be continued in the future. There are high hopes among the students and teachers of having tennis courts at the school soon. BLOCK W The Block “W” did very well this term considering the fact that they were without a leader or any specific form of government to follow. At the first of the term many new students were initiated into the club. Many new members who had earned their letters in football at the beginning of this term were also given the special treatment which made them full fledged Block “W” members. Throughout the term the members showed that they really could compose sweet music for the school by having a dance, which showed that a great deal of time had been spent in the planning for the big occasion. Many sales and novel ideas were displayed by the members as the term went on. Our only hope is that with a leader the Block “W” can continue to function as well as the students have this term without one. G. A. A. With Dorothy Yanger as this term’s president, assisted by the following officers: Vice President, Marie Pappa; Secretary, Mary Pearl Stubblefield; Treasurer, Bernice Smith; Recorder, Elizabeth Yeager; Ninth Grade Representative, Luella Adams; and Tennis Man- ager, Pearl Morey, the Girls’ Athletic Association started out with its usual liveliness and pep. This term seems to have brought the girls more in contact with each other and With different personalities. Parties and sales made the term very eventful and worthwhile. The one main event of the term was the High Jinks which was put on for all G. A. A. members. The High Jinks is an annual affair and is looked forward to with a great deal of excitement and interest. Everyone anticipates a grand time at the High Jinks for it is the one big get-together of the girls. The 1937 G. A. A. High Jinks used as its theme the surrealism movement in modern art, giving everyone a chance to release sup- pressed desires in the costumes they wished to wear. True to form the G. A. A. has carried out this term in an interesting fashion. To Youth! Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. — EASTMAN'S COMPLIMENTS OF THE RED RIVER LUMBER COMPANY „ Oh .
