THE SCHOOL PATROL The school patrol controls pedestrian tum? fic at those intersections most used by stu- dents on their way to and from school. Membership of the patrol is made up of eight regular patrolmen and the substitutes. The captain this year was Charles Warner. Allan Pearson acted as assistant captain. Members were treated to a free banquet by the A.A.A. and at the end of the year were giv- en suitable awards in recognition of their ser- vices. GIRL SCOUTS A movie benefit, a candy sale, a cookie sale--that is the story of the work the Girl Scouts have done this year in order to make possible another summer camping trip at MacDon- ald Youth Camp. These things do not tell the story of the fun and the construction work the girls have done at their meetings each Wednes- day after school. There are two Girl Scout troops in Aitkin. One group is composed of girls from the upper grades and from junior high school. The cap- tains of this troop are Miss Frances Breen and Miss Darline Huntley. The older girls make up the other troop with Miss Joyce Paul as their leader. This troop was changed this year from a Girl Scout troop to a Senior Scout Troop. This was done in accordance with the new pro- gram for Scouts over fourteen years of age. At a Court of Awards in May the Girl Scouts of both troops gave evidence of the fact that they had gained some benefit as well as pleasure from their membership. Approximately 25 rank awards were made and 48 merit badges were awarded. The officers of the troops are as follows: Troop I - Patrol leaders- Beatrice Christensen, Jeanette Johnson, Catherine Tierney, and Jane Machong Kathleen Fossen-treasurerg Joyce Akel- stad-scribe. The Patrol leaders for Troop II are Marlys Ellig, Barbara Ann Hasllng, Colleen Casey, Jeanine Hobbins, and Madelyn Ericksong Marlys Ellig-presidentg Mary Tiffany- vice-presidentg Phyllis Dahms-secretary. THE HI-LITE The Aitkin Hi-Lite is a mimeographed school paper, published monthly by the pupils of the Aitkin High School. The purpose of the Hi-Lite is to provide an interesting record of school activities and, in addition, to supply a certain number of humorous articles to be en- joyed by the pupils. Each month the Hi-Lite's attractive cover is drawn by one of the school artists. The typing and mimeographing of the paper is done in the com ercial department. BUS PATROL A Bus Patrol unit was formed in our school this year. It is made up of thirty-two members, two on each bus route. Functions of the patrol- men are to assist the driver in maintaining dis cipline, to help in loading the bus, and to flag the bus over railroad crossings. Donald Higbee was elected captain of the patrol for the yztrthe annual meeting of the A.A-A-, 8 resolution was adopted commending the bus pa- trol for its work in promoting safety. Proper awards for faithful patrol service were given by the A.A.A. at the end of the year. STUDENT COUNCIL The presidents of the six classes in jun- ior and senior high school plus one member from each class in senior high school and an elected member from each of the chartered extracurricu- lar activities in the school form the members of the student council. The work of the council is directed toward assisting with the general welfare of the school. It ls a group of student leaders with high ideals doing their very best to develop a finer type of citizenship and to assist in the development of the program of school activi- ties which will be beneficial to the entire student body. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA In l954 the local chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in our school. We now have a fine progressive group of farm boys banded together in this organization, na- tional in scope, for the purpose of studying about farm problems and better preparing them- selves to become good farmers through the de- velopment of the aims of the organization. These aims ares to develop combined rural lead- strengthen the confidence of the ership, to farm boy in himself and his work, to create more interest in the choice of farm occupatio s, to improve the rural home, to promote thrift, to encourage organized recreational activities, and to interest students in vocational agricul- ture. Membership in the F. F. A. is open to any boy who will support the purposes of the organ- ization. Officers of the F.F.A. were: president - Clarence Gruenhagen, vice-president - Bryce Kelsey, secretary - Roger Wright, treasurer - Carre l Flake, adviser - F. C. Kaplan.
