RETAILERS STAGE BIG YEAR Many Proiects Planned for Enioyment of Club The t'Future Retailers of America are staging several large projects for the year. Besides adopting the use of a pin, symbolizing all cooperative sales classes of Ohio, the retailers are at- tending, as a group, a regional meeting on the campus of Ohio State. Also at- tending this meeting will be similiar groups from other Ohio schools. There, comparison of working conditions, ways, and ideas can be exchanged. A rummage sale to secure funds for a banquet for employers is planned for the end of the semester. Each retailer invites his employer to be his guest at the banquet. Another highlight event is the taking of kodachrome pictures of the retailers on the job in downtown stores. These pictures will serve as a memory to the prodigious days spent in school.

Around Springfield High School a comparatively new club which has skyrocketed to prominence among the students is the Wildcat Boosters' Club. Headed by its active president Henry Diehl and its able adviser, Mr. C. M. Caldwell, this club has con- tributed much to raising school spirit by arousing the interest of the students in school activities or activities sponsored by the school. Its success was proved by having the largest at- tendance in school history at the basketball games last season. Not only did it increase the attendance and enthusiasm of the students at basketball games, but also showed the same attitude toward football games, school concerts, and numerous dramatic events. Although this organization was just one year old in November 1945, it had surpassed all other clubs in membership. Today there are over six hundred fifty active members. Other students who have aided in making this organization a success are: the vice-president, John Moores, secretaries Jean Thacker and Cynthia Meredithg and a program committee consisting of Barbara Rewey, Maralyn Anderson, Cynthia Mer- edith, Francis McKenzie, John Moores, Henry Diehl, and Jack Laughner. Some outstanding programs of this committee were parades, pep rallies, and dances. The plans for next year consist of streamlining the club by increasing the efficiency of the old ideas of running the club plus the addition of some new ones. One of these new ideas is to put a club rep- resentative in each homeroom, which are responsi- ble to their group leaders. This system will in- crease the ease with which the club may cantact its members and possibly interest others enough to join their flock. Other systems being worked out are the collecting of dues at the beginning of each year, instead of asking members every month for contributions for a danceg and the enlarging of the Boosters' Section in the football stadium and the gym. This sums up the main plans of this organiza- tion for next year. Such are the functions of the Wildcat Boosters' Club. This club is an excellent example of leader- ship in Springfield High School and has shown its influence in numerous ways. All in all, this active group looks forward to bigger and even more suc- cessful years in the future.
