This organization has much to do with the different programs throughout the school. One of their main programs is the Big Sister movement, which is to help the new students iind their way around and to acquaint them with the rules and customs of our school. The Usher's League and the Student Council are among the other important movements. This group met every two weeks, during which time a speaker was introduced, and programs were planned. This group of people is planning to become either teachers or nurses. F. T. A. . , The Future Teachers of America F. T. A. cific-ers. B.

THE CUB This year the Boyertown School News or Cub , as it has been known for the past two years, is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. In keeping with its policy of service, this year's staff has continued with suc- cess the Scholastic polls. In addition, the paper has a new feature, an editorial column entitled The Cub Speaks to remind the students of current school problems. 1946 has also brought the return of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conference held annually in New York City. This conference was cancelled last year because of crowded hotel conditions. In addition there is the district P.S.P.A. conference, held this year at Mahanoy City. These conferences are always well attended by the B. H. S. journalists. The credit for this year's paper, one of the best in its twenty-five year history goes to the staif, headed by editor-in-chief Joan Grofe, and her capable assist- ants, with Miss Violet White as adviser, in absence of Mr. Harry I. Gilbert. The reporters get together to make the newspaper deadline: R. Rhoads, J. Schoenly, M. Neiman, S. McNey. A few of the editors of the Cub , B.

VARSITY LETTERMEN'S CLUB The Varsity Lettermen's Club is under the supervision of Francis D. Sell. The club is exclusively for the boys who have earned a letter in a varsity sport. These sports are football, baseball, basketball, track, and cross-country. A var- sity letterman can easily be recognized by his white sweater with a black letter on it. The Varsity Lettermen's club has charge of the intra-mural basketball. In this organization the homerooms are divided into leagues. The Pony League consists of the seventh and eighth grades. They play their games after school. The American League is composed of ninth and tenth grades, and the National League consists of the eleventh and twelfth grades. These leagues play during lunch hours. Each Varsity Letterman coached a homeroom, kept score, and helped referee the games. The games between the homerooms are played enthusiastically. There is always a large group of spectators rooting for their favorite team to win. l27l . C' 10'
