Torch Club The Torch Honor Society is a national organiza- tion composed of high school students who achieve and maintain a high scholastic record. Membership in Torch Club is given on the basis of grade points. The club began the new year by holding a pot- luck dinner for the twelve new members. They also helped to reorganize the Flame Club, which is a scholastic club for junior high students. At the close of the school year, the club held another dinner in honor of the graduating seniors. At this time the seniors were presented with their Torch pins. This is an honor club rather than an active one, and its purpose is to encourage scholarship. 2'

Senior Choir The Fife choir under the direction of Mr. Alfred G. Flechtner has been very complete and successful. The fifty voice choir has been in many programs this year. The events started when the choir sang at Milton for the P.-T.A. There the selections of music were classical and semi-popular. Next was the Campus Radio Theatre over KMO. They selected the numbers Battle Hymn of the Republic and Gospel Train. The Christmas program is the biggest event of the year. This year we sang T'was the Night before Christmas, a Fred Waring arrangement, O Holy Night, and other Christmas carols. During the program there was a pantomime of the Christ Child. Margie Kelley was Mary, Stewart Carder, Jim Ragan, Jim Lovell were the three kings. Dick Spencer, Carl Stalder, and Fred Meyer were the shepherds. Donna Bruner was the narrator. The program was a success. December 23, i952 the choir made a trip to the Bon Marche. There they sang selected Christmas carols throughout the store. February I8, the boys' choir and the band gave an exchange assembly to Peninsula. The boys have just started their choir. The group consists of fourteen boys from the senior choir. This year we have four boy members from the eighth grade who sing tenor in the choir. They are Monty Fox, Carl Bullo, Roger Dutton, and Tom Benner. The boys gave a successful performance at Peninsula. The main dress of the boys is ieans, cowboy hats, and shirts. We hope they will carry this out next year and become more well known. The song they sang at Penin- sula was Cool Water. On March 6, l953, the Fife choir held its annual spring concert. They sang The Creation, Lonesome Val- ley, Stay Traveler, and several religious pieces. Another program was the Western Washington Choral and Orchestra Competition Festival at Bremerton. One of the selections for this program was Motet, a religious song. The choir has done quite a number of religious and classical pieces. The final program was the annual Choir Festival at Bethel. Every year the choir goes to this festival and gives a concert in the evening. v

The girls are chosen onthe basis of dependability, schol- arship, initiative, and ability to co-operate with others. The new members this year were: Marilyn Trolson, Sharon Figg, Phyllis Petry, Janice Kotchkoe, Annette Ryan, Margie Torre, Ruth Ambuehl, Ann Rivenes, Le Etta Kamenzind, and Christine Falaschi. Being invited to become a member of the Tro- ianettes is one of the Fife girls' highest honors. if N-Qu. Troian Knights This year the Troian Knights, guided by their president, Harold Peters, welcomed the new mem- bers by honoring them at a dinner.

The new members who were thus introduced into the organization are Joe Door, Tom Lelli, Larry Larson, Cho Shimizu, Dave Hall, and August Zam- pardo. The Troian Knights are the boys' service organi- zation at Fife. Their main duties are helping at football and at basketball games, preparing the gym for assemblies, and taking noon hour hall duty.
