The Sub-Deb Club has been, in past years, one of N.H.S.'s most active organizations of girls. The main activity does not begin until early spring when new members are brought into the club. Names are submitted by a committee to be voted on by present club members. The initiation is held during the day. This is followed by a formal initia- tion and candlelight ceremony in the evening. After the formal initiation, Sub-Deb mem- bers are hostesses to a lovely dance, the highpoint of their year's activities. President of this year's club is Dorothy jackson. Sponsor of the Sub-Deb is Nliss Ada Hancock, who took over the duties of Miss Alice Nlatters, when she was married two years ago. The oHice of secretary is very important in Sub-Deb because she has to correspond with other clubs and our National Sub-Deb leaders. Phyllis lvoodard holds down this ollice very capably. The Vice-President serves in the absence of the president. This otlice is held by Ruth Lowe. Last year the Sub-Deb Club in N.I1.S. was not active, but this year activities are being resumed to make it one of the school's most popular organizations. ll. x tx .

It is the function of this group to bring a closer co-operation between the students and faculty members and see about the activity and general behavior of the students. Any betterment which can be made on the school system or building is brought before the council, suggested, and acted upon. They tend to improve the school on the whole. By doing this the Council provides a chance for the average student to taste his share of responsibility. During the year a new handbook has been one of the main issues. It is hoped that next year, when the lac- ulty is organized permanently, we can publish new and better handbooks. Presiding over each meeting is .limmie Harmon, Student Body President, who was elected by the students at the first of the school year of '45. Other oflicers of Student Council were selected by the classes and elected by the students with the exception of treasurer and assistant treas- urer, who are chosen by Ada Hancock, Commercial Department, from her classes. Hold- ing' ollice this year are Vice-President, H. F. ljvansg Secretary, Nlona Belle l.and: Treas- urer, Ruth l.owe, and Assistant Treasurer, .loyce Anderson.

,Y ,Y,Y , Entre Amigos. Yes, that's Neosho High's Spanish Club. Once a year it happens, and we are speaking of the initiation. The uh-informal initiation is held at the beginning of the term and this is followed later in the year by a formal initiation and installation of otlicers. The Spanish Club was introduced several years ago by lVliss Alice lVlatters, who was succeeded by Nliss Nlary lVIargaret Banks, both of whom have now left the faculty of N.H.S. for a more attractive life of marital bliss. These two never-to-be-forgotten's are now succeeded by Carl Summers, who resumes his teaching after two years' absence fsome said he'd been in the army, but we know he's too smart for that, don't we?j. The Spanish Club has many active members and not the least of these is their president, Ullymie Payne, and secretary, Jean Hunter. Anyone who takes Spanish may become a member if they desire. For a while, Spanish was the only foreign language offered in N.H.S. During this period many students learned a great deal about manners and customs of Spanish- speaking countries through the advantages of the Spanish Club. This knowledge of Span- ish mannerisms was staged in an assembly given by its members this fall. 0 - JA . SPA ISH EL B fx i sawed SQ? Cho 8 iff?
