Under Mr. Knoblauch's capable instruction many ribbons have been won in judging contests against great competition by surrounding schools. During the past year the club adopted a constitution by which to gov- ern its actions. The organization consists wholly of boys in the three upper grades interested in agriculture. Officers for this year are: president, Claude Dennog vice president, Gilbert Collingsg secretary-treasurer, Arthur Trapp. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Betty Ann Miner This year a club was formed for students in the home economics de- partment which includes seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth graders. We elected the following officers: president, Evelyn Proud, vice president, Virginia Frame, secretary, Betty Ann Millerg and treasurer, Daisy Ream- er. A committee of three was chosen from each grade to act as the council. The money taken in for dues was used for the three demon- strations on care of the hair, skin, and fingernails. In the fall the club had concessions at the football games and sold popcorn, candy, hot dogs, and taffy apples. Later in the season the mu- sic department assisted us in giving matinee parties. The tenth grade girls served lunches during the month of January and February. In this way we made about forty dollars with which was bought a breakfast set, dishes, curtains for the cooking and sewing laboratories, and a tea set. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club gets bigger and better every year under Miss Shriv- er's careful guidance. This year a definite program for the entire year was made out and followed closely. They have two meetings a month, which are educational as well as entertaining. An award for the best Latin student of the year will be given again as previously planned. The officers for this year are: president, Charles Wesnerg vice presi- dent, Ruthe Babcock, secretary, Marie Montgomeryg treasurer, Melvin Campbell. Twenty-Five

VELMARIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Velmarian Literary Society has been one of the outstanding fac- tors in encouraging talented students to attempt literary writings in all fields. Under the direction of Mrs. Velma Dunbar, the society has again sponsored a creative writing contest. All members of the junior and senior high school classes may enter this contest under poetry, essay, or short story. Medals are awarded and the scripts judged by outside persons. A new contest was sponsored this year by the organization. A very fine plaque was presented to the individual in the senior high school who, in the opinion of the judges, wrote the best piece of creative literature during the year. The name of the winner with the type of the material that was written and the year was engraved upon the plaque. This plaque will remain in the trophy case and be awarded every year. Three one-act plays, written and acted by members of the society, were given again this year under Mrs. Dunbar's direction. They were: He Wuz Her Man by Geneva Troutfetter, A Mistake, by Robert Stray- er, and Three in a Bout, by Lillias Peacock.
