Clubs a HOME ECONOMICS CLUB And what could this FAIR (get it?) assembly represent? Could it be a group of blossom queens? No, guess again. It s the Home Economics Club of B. S. H. S., and they stick to their knitting, too. The club's very capable president is Maxine Beissel, first row left. The other officers are left to right: Frances Becker, vice president; Marian Bowerman, secretary; Betty Comstock, treasurer; Miss Mary Graham acts as supervisor. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Gee! Haw! Future Farmers of America! These up-and-coming lads belong to that nation-wide organization that means so much to the welfare of posterity. The hard-working executives are: President, Merle Spaulding; Vice President, Robert Storick; Secretary, Clifford Mahachek; Treasurer, Frank Hamer; Reporters, Harley and Milton Marschke. The faculty adviser is the Smith-Hughes instructor, Carl Jorgensen.

They sought a vehicle which would have not only comedy and plot but which, at the same time, would present a problem or theme worthy of study and within the interests of the community. New Fires, presented March 17 and 18, met these qualifications. Careful study, a great deal of hard work, and excellent cooperation resulted in a fine play which filled the gymnasium both nights. Those unseen, and usually unthought of persons, who always do much to make a play what it is—the business managers and committee chairmen— were Colleen Ratliff, Vroni Christl, Devon Michael, Marjorie Martin, June McGath, Wayne Stover, Ethelyn Shearer, and Kathleen Meek.

CANOE STAFF Can you imagine a Canoe without an efficient staff behind it? This group was elected by majority votes at the beginning of the last semester. At first it seemed (to the staff) to be an impossibility to edit an annual, but light bulbs flashed and brain storms occurred. And now, under the able direction of Stewart Shearer, the Editor-in-Chief, this staff has produced the masterpiece before you. The typists have, after helping with this Canoe, acquired fame and long hours of practice. It has been no snap assignment for the feature and literary editors either. This book has been made possible by the honest efforts of the advertising committee and the hearty cooperation of classmates, and business men. THE DRIFT Yes, sir—the bright sunny faces in this row belong to the members of the Drift staff, which puts out the Drift every two weeks under the sponsorship of Mrs. Stebbins and the able editorship of Duane Dean. This publication which has been in existence ever since the present Senior class can remember, contains a few jokes, news of sports, of the high school building, and of the grade building, a smattering of gossip and the choicest of the great literary works composed by members of the Senior English class.
