Palette and Brus Thomas Benton never belonged to our Palette and Brush elub, but he's good, too. TNOSC folks have accomplished many things during the four years they have been organized. Only this year they have sponsored the gt-neralt exhibit for National Education XVeek, manufacturing felt health pennants to be used in grade school work, made I. H. S. emblems to be worn on sweat- ers, and furnished the decorations for the county teachers' association meet in joplin. ln their meetings they all work on various projects. Some paint, either in water colors or oilsg some knit on a sweater for the boy friend, many work on fancy needle work and others busily study costume designing. After seeing the results of their work we expect to see many famous artists from this group in the years to come. panislm Did you ever see so many strange happenings? XVhat is wrong with that group of boys? The answer, as usual, is nothing for nothing more than usualj. Simply that they are Spanish Club members, and are practicing their Spanish upon us poor unfortunates. lsn't it distracting to have them talk to you in an unknown tongue? To preserve one's dignity one must look as if one knew what was going on, but how can one do so when his intellect does not follow the immense process of language. But, they're jolly good fellows, even if at times their lingo is a littlle trying. We hear, too, that they have some of the most interesting pro- grams in school. VVhy can't we comer up some time? Harold Lloyd was president and Tom Fenix, secretary-treasurer during the first semester. Other members were: Marie Barker, Lorayne Cole, Avenlia Moreno, Beth Dawson, Faye XYiland, Marjorie Jones, Jennie lVhite, Betty Mcfaleb, LaVeat Eckles, joe Vinot, Albert Troyer, Xllilbur Randall, Eugene VVadlington, Glenn Rice, llarold Shepman, VVilli:un Thomas. 72

The R. G. T. C. Joplin High School has one of the largest junior units of the Re- serve Officers Training Corps in the midwest. Our school is extremelv fortunate in having such a unit as a part of its activities. lt has main- tained a standard of such excellence that it has, with the exception of onlv one or two vears, been awarded an honor rating by the War Department. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. is to teach voung men to live clean- lv and courageously, to he Worthv citizens, and to prepare them for leadership in the defense of their countrv should that necessity arise. The R. O. T. C. is made up of two battal- ions. ln the First Bat- talion is the Band in- cluding Companies A and B. The Second Bat- talion consists of Com-- panies C, D, and F. Each hattalion is under a ma- jor and his staff, who in turn are subordinate to the lieutenant colonel and adjutant. A new feature of the corps this vear is the se- lection of three girls as lionorarv sponsors. Miss Eula. MacFadclen, a sen- ior, is honorarv lieu- tenant colonelg Miss lane Carmichael and Miss lean Rothwell are hon- orarv maiors, represent- ing the junior and soph- omore classes, respect- ivelv. i i l QQ QQ
