Linda Baldwin. The familiar cry. heard throughout the hallowed halls of Harlem— I don't need a pass! I'm in the Projection Club!! —is still a haunting memory for all former hall monitors. Much time and effort was spent transporting needed film and recording equipment from room to room. The activities of the past year have promoted much enthusiasm for the club members. including a trip to a Chicago Cinerama, which was the highlight of their social activities. Inspired by Mr. McGaw. their advisor, these students work with film strips, slides , and other needed audio-visual aids. This not only assists the faculty in teaching, but also helps to break up the everyday class routine for the conscientious student. Each year the many members of F.H.A. contribute much of their time to a service project. This year the main emphasis was placed on mental health, a project which was a guide post for all of the group's activities. A main event of the year was a trip to New Glarus. where the future homemakers visited a textile mill and gained much knowledge concerning different types of fabric. Bringing the very successful year to a close was the annual Mother-Daughter banquet, providing both the mothers and daughters an opportunity to meet each other and exchange ideas. Through the year's activities, the members gained an insight to their future as homemakers. F.H.A. Advisor. Mrs. Beaman; Vice-President. Gail Conklin: Advisor. Mrs. Welsh; Secretary-Treasurer.

Debate The Debate Team is composed of students who possess a genuine desire to develop good speech habits, to organize material for logical oral presentation, and to think on their feet.” Medicare became a well-known (or worn out) topic with the debaters.
