Dear Jenn, Since your wife was a former member of the Home Economics Club and husbands are always interested in their w1ve's former high school days, we thought you might like to know what the club is doing this year. Well! Here goes. Our club was organized to promote friendliness among members of the department and to interest girls in the field of Home Economics. Our first meeting which was held in the Home Ec. Room, was called to elect the new officers fer the year of l9Ill-I42. Pres- ident, Wilma Romickg Vice President, Rita HcLeang Sec- retary, Margaret Greenfield, Treasurer, Shirley Heibenthal. . Before I go any further I might say a word about our Home Ee. room. This year it was moved from the basement to the main floor. No---I don't mean trans- ferring all the Home Ec. equipment to the main floor, because we have new equipment. The room is combined for cooking and sewing. We have venitian blinds, flourescent lighting, one gas and one electric stove. Every student of A. C. H. S. as well as every member of the club is very proud of this room. g At Christmas time the girls fixed boxes for the needy families around town. For about two weeks the girls repaired and painted toys and mended clothes that the members brought in. The girls had a grand time doing this and at the same time made several families very happy.

The following officers were elected at the first meeting: President, Margaret Greenfieldg Vice President, Orla Kersteng and Secretary and Treas urer, Shirley Heibenthal. Kiss Krans,was,chosen as advisor. The club is composed of 21 members. They are interested in sports no matter what they may be. The dues are twenty-five cents a year. During the year the G.A.A. had several parties. Of course the initiation of the new members was the most fun. s This year a number of girls earned their G.A.A. pins by keeping rules for eight weeks. These rules pertain to walking, swimming, bicycling, bowling, and other sports. The members of the G.A.A. want to wish good luck to all future members in years to come. Above all, don't forget to write to your sister, Bob, and tell her to be sure and join the G.A.A. Club when she gets in High School. Yours for fair play, The c'.A.A. Club T Y

A com ittee was appointed by the Home Ec. Club to make the arrangements for the annual Assembly Christmas Program. The program opened with the sing- ing of several Christmas Carols by the entire student body, after which everyone enjoyed a quiz program by the faculty and a group of students, a fortune teller, an interesting skit by the Iwamatic Club, and last but not least Santa Claus and his grab bag. Everyone I agreed that this was one of the best entertainments ever given in the high school. The Home Ec. Club had several dances after school. It seems everybody likes to dance. Even some of the teachers. , The outstanding nhighlightsn of the club this year were: the Christmas Party, serving the Parent- Son F. F. A. Banquet and the Mother-Daughter Home Ec. Banquet. Our sponsor, Miss Ensign, has done a great deal for the Home Economic girls in training them to be better Hhousekeepersh and more competent workers. Your friends, HThe Home Ee. Kidsu
