Sweet Music by Mr. Scheinost and his Glee Club After their debut at Chapel on Sunday even ing, Oct. 19, all the members have a right to be proud! That evening when they began to sing the audience was so enthralled, an immediate hush seemed to sweep everyone. The selections sung were “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” and “Lo H ow a Rose E’er Blooming.” Besides working on numbers for the Mixed Chorus every Friday, the Glee Club is also work ing on numbers for the choruses separately dur ing the week. Their progress has been quite successful so far but they’re hoping to improve more as they go along through the year. Three cheers, then, for Mr. Scheinost and his talented group! We really think they’re “tops” and weare anxious to hear them sing as often as they can in the future. Senior Carnival Staged on Halloween Exciting! Thats the only word a person could use to describe the evening of Oct. 31,for on that evening the seniors gave their annual senior car nival in the gym. Ten booths in which the students could try their skill and luck! Many were skillful, or just plain lucky and came back to their buildings with a large variety of prizes. During the test black out occuring at 9:50 and lasting until 10:00, Mr. Scheinost led the students in a group of songs. In this way it seemed like those ten minutes simply “flew by” and in no time at all the lights were back on and the prizes were given out to the lucky winners. Some of the most coveted prizes were a pillow that was won by Miss Selma Hoffmann; a floor lamp that went to Margaret Lafferty and a waste-basket which was won by Miss Clark. Besides these, there were five other prizes including a box of candy and three large cakes. In addition to all the gaiety of the affair, there was also dancing after all the booths were sold out and everyone then was stepping fast to the swing music furnished by “Bing” Tyler and his radio phonograph. The saying goes, however, that all good things have to come to an end and so the Carnival was ended and will ever remain in the memory of those who attended. Girls Elect House Officers On Wednesday and Thursday evenings of Oct. 16 and 17, the girls of Winona hall gathered together by classes to elect house officers for the year. The voting took place on Friday. The candidates chosen were Mary Wolftail and Rosemary Aubrey for the juniors; the sophomores chose Helen George; the freshmen will be re presented by Shirley Douthit; the seniors chose Anna Miles and Marjorie Pablo. Later the girls elected Anna Miles as president, Mary Wolftail as Vice-President, and Marjorie Pablo as secretary. Girls Athletic Association Something new for the girls this year is the “Girls Athletic Association” which is under the direction of Gwen Griffith of the Willamette University. This club meets each week on Mon day from four o’clock to five o’clock and so far has attracted 45 girls who now answer to the roll calls. Of these members the following officers were chosen at the recent election: President, Alyce Spencer; Vice-President, Arlene Miller; Secretary, Wilda Williams; Treasurer, Luella Wilson; Social Chairman, Lillian Case. During the year the girls will be playing such sports as basketball, volley-ball, soft-ball, and other minor sports including badminton, ping- pong, tennis and darts. When the girls have par ticipated in these sports and have earned the num ber of points required, at the end of the year they will be awarded the official letter “C”. On week-ends this group of girls will go on hikes, skating, weiner and marshmallow roasts and such parties as that. Later on they hope to arrange to take a trip to the state capitol in Sa lem. If you would like to join this organization it is’nt too late yet but the “deadline” will be some time the first of this month. This club isopen to any girl of high school age or any eighth grader. If you are intending to become a member you’d better join now. Grade School Pretty halloween decorations have kept the children busy in the kindergarten class.
