Rita Baxter is having a slumber party while her parents are visiting out of town. She
has just had a fight with her boyfriend, Fred--after seeing him kiss a blonde at the airport
fhis cousinj. Unknown to the girls, Mr. Midnight, a prowler, has entered the house. Victrola,
the colored cook, fearing the slumber party will cause her too much work tries to resign,
but is persuaded by Rita to stay. Rita's friends arrive and find Fred and Leroy there. The
two intruders are quickly thrown out. Rita summons Keith and Harvey to come over and guard
the entrances so the boys won't return to break up the party. Keith makes Rita promise to
go to the school dance with him. O'Brien, the local policeman, arrives to warn the girls of
a prowler, but is thrown out because the girls think he is an imposter. After an evening of
confusion, the prowler is captured and the quarrel is forgotten when Rita promises to go
to the school dance with F red.

erb Russell, Mr. Brady,
The Student Council movement in our secondary schools is growing rapidly, not only in
number of school organizations but also in its effectiveness in shaping the life and program of
the school. Student Council activities provide many opportunities for all students to co-operate
with student leaders and school officials to make 'school citizenship more meaningful and repre-
sentative of post life.
Our Student Council sponsors such activities as the Homecoming, the Christmas party,
and the concession stand at the ballgames. There are sixteen members representing the clubs
and classes of the schooL The freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes are represented,
and the clubs are the Camera Club, Library Club, Future Homemakers of America, Future Farm-
ers of America, Athletic Department, Band, Chorus and Projection Club.

The Stewardson - Strasburg Future Homemakers of America, under the direction of Mrs.
Bernice Buesking, were rather busy throughout the year. Our activities consisted of initiation
of new members in September, having five girls each month to take care of the children at the
P.T.A, Meetings, sending a Christmas box to someone overseas and having our own Christmas
exchange pary in December, a Daddy - Date Night in March, and our last big event of the year -
our annual Mother - Daughter Banquet in May. In October, the members along with other girls
from the home economics classes presented a program on television.
In order to make money we made cookbooks, had a bake sale, hobo day, made Christmas
corsages, and sponsored a hat and coat check at ballgames.

The Stewardson - Strasburg Future Farmers ot America Chapter is made up of boys enrolled
in agriculture. It is not a compulsory organization, but it is strongly advised that every agri-
culture student join the F FA. This organization has its own officers and committees who are
responsible for the social and community service activities which it undertakes. Some of these
activities are the Safety Corn Harvest Program, Parties with FHA, FFA Contests, chapter awards,
and fund raising activities. The agriculture teacher serves only as an advisor to the group.
The FFA degrees are obtained by the progress each boy shows in his own supervised Farming
Program. The FFA sponsors fat stock, dairy, poultry, and grain judging contests, parliamen-
tary procedure and public speaking contests, as well as individual awards for farming activi-
ties. Our motto is:
Learning to do
Doing to learn
Earning to live
Living to serve.

The Projection Club was organized under the authorization of Mr. Brady and Ernie Newbery.
The members were chosen by the faculty so there would be a projectionist in each class. The
Club held several sessions during the noon hour. These sessions were held to inform the members
of the group about the operation and maintenance of a Bell-Howell motion picture projector.
After approximately five sessions each member was given a test on the material covered, a
certificate and membership card was given to each who passed the test. The certificate states
that the holder is an official qualified Bell-Howell projectionists. These students project all
films shown in the classrooms and during assembly.

These are seventeen members in the Camera Club. Three are seniors, five are sophomores,
and eight are freshmen.
The Camera Club is operated as a self-supporting co-operative for the purpose of teaching
the members something about photography. Club members use the school darkroom and have
an opportunity to learn how to take pictures, develop film, make snapshots and enlargements
and tint pictures. Some of the members have equipment of their own and have darkrooms in
their own homes.
In addition to making their own pictures, work is done for non-Club members. All the
yearbook group pictures this year were taken and made by Ernie Newberry and snapshots for
the yearbook were taken by Jerry Lugar, Larry Ensign, and Rick Patterson.

The Letterman's Club was organized in the fall of 1956 under the sponsorship of Mr. Mid-
dlesworth. The purpose of the club was to give all lettermen an organization to work for the better-
ment of the Athletic Department and the school as a whole. The club sponsored the carnival in
1956 and 1957. The proceeds from this went to the Athletic Department. In the Spring the club
takes subscriptions for the magazines. The proceeds from which are used to purchase equip-
ment for the Athletic Department that they otherwise would not get. Just such an item was the
pitching machine which is used to give the baseball players a better batting eye.

The S. S. Comets had avery successful baseball season in the fall of '57, winning the school's
first National Trail Title.
The Comets beat Neoga 6 to 0 to start the season off right. T. Anderson struck out '1 for
the win, allowing only 2 hits.
Windsor was upset on the last inning 4 to 2 on Baumgarten's homerun and Anderson's
clutch pitching. He again fanned 7 men.
The Comets third win came over Cowden 13 to 0. I. Anderson's triple and T. Anderson's
two doubles supplied the power.
The Comets suffered their only defeat at Brownstown 5 to 2. Anderson again struck out
seven, but allowed a three run homer and was hindered by faulty fielding.
After beating Beecher City 13 to 1, the Comets went to Altamont where they won 8 to 0.
The Comets next win came at T-Town by a score of 11 to 12 while St. Anthony was being
beaten by Browr1stown. This set the stage for the Comets title winning game with St. Anthony.
The Comets scored one run in the first inning against St. Anthony on walks and then with
the bases still loaded, Bill Swank lined a single that drove home two more runs. The rest of
the game proved scoreless as Anderson allowed only two hits and the Comets' fielding was fault-
less.
P.S. The Coaches took a shower WHILE DRESSED with the help of the players after the
game.

The Comet track team participated in five meets in the Spring of 1957.
The first of these meets was a triangular meet with the Comets finishing second.
The Comets took fourth in the National Trail Conference meet at St. Elmo, and also took
fourth in the county meet at Shelbyville.
The Comets had a strong relay team and some good dash men. Ted Anderson was strong
in the pole vault so these members of the team represented us in the District and the Shelby
Open Meets.
