Giving to the needy was first rule Giving was the first rule of tlie Indus- trial Arts Club ' s year. Needy families were blessed by the club and the Hartford City Jaycees when a drive for canned foods at Thanksgiving was started. Stu- dents were asked to donate the cans, and later prizes were given to those who had donated four cans of food. Fun was also supplied for the members when a hockey game in Fort Wayne was attended by members of the club. The Fort Wayne Komets provided for the evening when they took on the Port Huron team. Chuck Ross was the top winner of the Industrial Arts ' crazy bowl. This annual activity was in the form of bowling the first game in regular style, and then lived up to the name by the last two games being bowled with rules made up by the mem- bers. Initiation into the organization was an experience for some. Ed Townsend, initi- ate, was blindfolded and put into the trunk of a car. then driven down to the cleat- house. Upon arri ina back, members found it difficult to get Ed out of the trunk. Finally, much to Ed s relief, an es- cape route was found. Industrial . n Club 13

BHS not exactly ' All American ' Festivals, banquets, and trips all came together as basic elements involved in the BHS language organizations — German Club, Latin Club, Spanish Club, and French Club. Deutscher Verein, German Club, made extensive revisions to the club con- stitution. Members also participated in many activities. At Christmas they adopt- ed German customs and became acquaint- ed with various crafts. They visited Ger- mantown, Indiana, an Austrian and Ger- man Music performance, and Oldenberg. They encountered German delicacies at Huntington ' s Heidelberg Restaurant. At a banquet for members and parents, an out- standing Deutscher Verein member was chosen and also a highest scholastic achiever in German. Two firsts were at the top of the list for Le Cerle Francais, French Club. One event was the summer trip to Europe, France, and Switzerland. To help earn money for the trip, hot chocolate and cookies were sold at two football games, and dances were held for the students ' benefits. Another first was the Foreign Language Festival involving French, Spanish, and German Clubs. In the spring a combined French Club meeting was held with Eastbrook. Club members were also treated to French dishes at a Christmas carry-in party. Spanish Club was also involved in spon- soring a foreign language festival. Mem- bers attended a Ballet Folklories in Octo- ber. They also took a trip to Mexico. Latin Club was still alive and active. Its main activity was a Christm as party at which the formal initiation and the annual gag gift exchange took place. Other activi- ties included a visit to the Little Italy Res- taurant, a swimming party, and a picnic party. Even though each of these clubs studied a different language, they all contributed to bring culture to the school. GERMAN CLUB: (Bottom Row) Tina Yount (pres.). Joe Leeth (vice pres.).
