DRAMA CLUB The Drama Club was first organized In 1940 by Miss Minerva Henion. This organization had approximately fifty members in it the first year. Ed Moes was presi- dent. We all enjoyed this activity immensely. The first year we put on six one-act plays which were ex- cellent performances. We had a meeting one» a. week and we all worked very diligently. The store room was turn- ed into a lovely little theater with a stage and every- thing to go with itc The fall of 1941 we began our Drama Club again show- ing even more enthusiasm than the year before. This year Mr. Lewis Auld was our sponsor and Don Courtnagey president. But Alas I the Drama Club came to an end XJge. every good thing does. We were informed that the Drama Club must come to an end because of the large number of outside curricular activities. And so now the Drama Club is just a memory a memory that will always be cherished by its loyal, members. Our sincere thanks go to Miss Iienion who was the founder of this great organization» PEP SQUAD With the beginning of the athletic season, four of the school gals started strutting around achool like they were really important. One freshie, a sophomore, a junior, and a senior. The new member in this group of gals was Margaret Stremka, a cute little freshie, who was to be added to the cheer leading group. The others were: Anna May Lefeldt (soph.), Ruth Hansen (junior) , and Kitty Hultin (senior). After much fussing and flam- ing about, there finally appeared on the bulletin board a sign which urged all lively, free kids, with a lot of pep to meet after school. This happened,and so off with a bang our good old Pep Squad started. This club was organized last year, and with the help of Miss Henion, we produced all new yeilzu, This year the organization tried to carry on the good work. We didnTt have very many football games to strut our stuff, but then came basketball and we really did our best. We went to Harlem, for the sub-district tournament to see our team play and we really had a good time, pita a lot of compliments. And so as the athletic season closed, our organiza- tion came to a close. We put on pep assemblies , ye Hi- ed all we could, had a lot of fun, and then closed until next year when we are going to try to do just a little better than this year.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The R, Oc H« Club was started two years ago when Miss Hodgkiss came to direct our footsteps and destinies Since then it has been ascending a very steep hill and is' surviving and prospering more each year , For out theme this year we studied Home Economics in foreign lands. This was a very inter- esting study, and we have seen many and varied specimens representing each country„ Our after club refreshments were also very delicious, and were a lot of fun. The Ro 0 IIo Club is the most prosperous and industrious club In the Big Sandy High School,, and we hope to keep it that way This year four of our girls were chosen as delegates to Bosamaiio The girls who went got new ideas for our club which will be practiced next year. Some of the things we have added to our act- ivities are the Christmas Party for Children, The Co-Ed Prom, Style show and Tea, and The Mother Daughter Banquet. I'm sure that under the able directorship of our leader the club vi 11 find a higher place each year. Thanks, Miss Hodgkiss, for all you've done for us J FUTURE FARMERS Four years ago the following greenhands were Initiated Into the Chapter: Ben Opiius, Lawrence Jappe, Robert ■ TIngley, Kenneth Robertson, Frank Petr, Edwin Laulo, Richard Moes, Charles Ray, and Kennth Chauvet. Since then these boys were active members of their Chapter. Some of the highlights of the year were the Ag. Bawl, the trip to Glacier National Park, and the State convention at Bozeman. The following year was much the same. A lar- ger representation went to Bozeman. A new advisor, Mr. Julson, was installed and has remained with ua since. He has stimulated the activity of the chap- ter and much was accomplished. 1939-40 was another successful year. For the first time we received recognition at the State Convention. Kenneth Chauvet was high individual in livestock judging. The team placed seventh in the state, Frank Petr was awarded the State Farmer Degree. In '41 the team received 3rd place in Po- ultry Judging at Bozeman And so as our Future Farmer days of High Sch- ool are almost over, we leave this club a little sadly, but hoping that It keeps on climbing.
