It is composed of Junior and Senior students from Behrman, Country Day, Fortier, McDonogh, McMain, Nicholls, and 'Wright who intend to make teaching their vocation. The projects that the club worked on this year were scrap-books for child- ren in Charity Hospital and the writing of letters to school studen' s in Germany. In the Campaign For Truth, members of the Future Teachers of America col- lected magazines which were sent to foreign countries so that the people could learn how Americans live, play, and workg it is hoped th-at pupils of other countries will better understand the habits, customs, and nature of the American people. To investigate the special type of educational facilities that are available to the men and 'Women in the leprosarium at Carville, the Future Teachers of America are planning a trip there. Behrman's representatives to the F. T. A. program are Jo Ann Borne, Marcella Borcherding, Joel Babylon, Ada Gros, and Carolyn Herndon. Jo Ann served as librarian of the club for the past year.

TH Fey y BEE QHIVE 1 1 fi f ' A 'C STUDENTS OF SOLID GEOMETRY CLASS DECORATE 'CHRISTMAS Tries' IN APRIL A By Arline Rusiin .Anyone who entered room 203 during the early part of April was immedi- ately convinced that the members of this yearfs. solid geometry class were more than a little eccentric. There on a desk in front of the room for everyone to see was a decorated Christmas tree! Those who did not quickly retreat learned that this tree was not adorned with the usual' Christmas ornaments, but with odd-shaped objects, which, they were informed, were tetrahedrons, oetahedrons, dodecahedrons, and other geometric patterns- with polysyllabic names that the pupils of the solid geometry class had fashioned. The Very bravest visitors ventured to voice the question that bothered everyone- But why in April? The prompt' reply was that this imaginative class of eight girls and one boy had not taken solid geometry during December. Besides, shouldn't we always have the Christmas spirit? someone added. It was revealed that these inspired students had labored ambitiously on their masterpieces for three weeks. Consequently, it was no surprise that the figures were so colorful. The various polyhedroiis were painted, varnished, nail-- polished, papered, 'and glitter-dusted unfcil finally the finished products were ready for display. Strange as it may seem this year's solid geometry class taught by Mrs. Angeline 'Werner is composed of eight girls and one lone boy. They are Jane Andry, Ada Gros, June Hebert, Joycelyn McMahon, Barbara 'Porter, Arline Rustin, Janet Saleey, Jean Soudelier, and Lloyd Lawrence. 1 1 Al l I S 95534

T'H E BEE HIVE 'f f' f 1 H236 STUDENTS PRESENT BOOK REVIEW ON TELEVISION By Lucille M. Foucha , Cheaper By The Dozen and Bells On Their Toes, both by Ernestine Gil- breth Carey, and Frank Gilbreth, Jr., were the two books reviewed by Junior and Senior students of the Martin Behrman Senior High School. The students, guests of the Teen Age Book Review, presented their interesting and thorough discussion over Station WDSU-TV on Thursday, February 14. . This year something new was added to the review. Since the action of the book took place during the time of the flappers and shieks in the l920's, Marcella Borcherding, Jackie Senat, Joycelyn McMahon, and Gayle Sutton strum- med their ukeleles while Jane Andry and Emma'France danced the Charleston. Jackie Senat and Lloyd Lawrence, dressed in costumes of the period, served to introduce the review. I The book, . Cheaper by the Dozen, tells the' story of the Gilbreth family before the death of Mr. Gilbreth in 1924. It consists largely of the antics of the Gilbreth children and reveals father's ideas of efficiency. Belles On Their Toes is the story of the Gilbreth family after Mr. Gilbreth dies. It is the story or Mrs. Gilbreth, principally. In this book the girls find romance and the boys dis- cover that there is a war going on. It tells how- Mrs. Gilbreth takes over the business of motion study and becomes a leader in that field. This is the fifth consecutive year that Behrman students participated in the Teen Age Book Review. This is the second ,year that the students have appeared on television for their book review. Last year Call It Treason by George Howe was presented. Other books reviewed by Behrman students on previous Teen Age Review programs were The Red Chair Waits by Mary Margaret Huggins, The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come by John Fox., and The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas. Continued on next page W-
