The students involved are those who are interested in teaching. Miss Huber, the faculty adviser for the group, does a wonderful job in organizing their programs. Mr. Paloncy’s shop students are always on call to make or do things for the teachers or the classrooms. This year one of their nicest contributions was the pair of rostrums they made for the auditorium department, and we certainly can’t overlook their effort and great success in the McVout Soiree.

Newton, Secretary; and C. Hiestand, Treasurer. I he highlight of the year was the annual spring mother-daughter-faculty tea. Under the sponsorship of our school librarian, Miss Magrames, the club had an unusually good year. P. K. P. The members of P.K.P. had their election of officers last spring. Those elected were: M. Bohman, President; L. Newton, Vice-President; S. Wilds, Secretary; and J. Romig, Treasurer. The organization had many activities during the year. First on the calendar was the initiation of new members. They were attired in shorts, shirts, and other weird costumes, for the informal initiation, which lasted for one week. At the conclusion of this period, a formal initiation was held. The biggest event of the year was the annual Snow Murry Dance, held at the Naval Armory. Refreshments were served, and all had a delightful time dancing to the music of Alan Isley’s band. BOOK CLUB Sitting: J. Ramos, E. Barde-son, L. Newton, J. Quint, C. Hiestand, J. Quigley, J.
