Perhaps the most active group of the school is the Fu- ture Farmers of America. Besides their regular weekly meetings during the school year, the club met once a month during the summer, and each member had a farm project to work on during the vacation months. Under its enterprising supervisor, Mr. Langer, this am- bitious group has earned the reputation of being the most ac- tive club in school. Besides their regular schedule of judging contests, this group presented a very fine Future Farmers Fair on November third and fourth. This was very success- ful and is going to be an annual affair from now on. The members have purchased an incubator for their use and have also formed a basketball team which belongs to the city league of teams and plays Future Farmer teams from other schools. The officers this year are: president, James Hemmingerg vice president, Ted Uphamg secretary, Bob Bestg treasurer, Glen Sultg reporter, Bob Olson. FI.

I 'zgcmizafiolzz Each student gains much intellectually in our schools today, but it is by participating in extra curricular activities that he learns to live harmoniously with his fellowmen and is able to return some good to the institution from which he has I Magic taken so much. The word school has come to mean more than just a building where the principles of reading', ritin', and 'rithmetic are taught. Over a period of years, educators discovered that teaching the student to believe in his efforts and those of his fellowmen and to cooperate with his fellowmen were as important as the three R's in completing a high school edu- cation. With this thought in mind, we include in the second ma- jor division of the annual, the various clubs and organizations of our school, which have for a basic principle: belief in self, in ability, in success, and in the future. Not a new club, but organized under a new name this year, is thc Magic Chefs. This group is comprised of Cbelieve it or notl boys interest- ed in the culinary arts. They started things off with a great stir by holding their first business meeting of September to fill the executive of- fices. Those chosen to hold office were Mark Heiney as president, Robert Wesner as vice president, Paul Ewing as secretary, and Herbert Russell to take care of the financial end. Throughout the year these boys held several parties under the supervision of their adviser, Miss Krebs, cook- ing their own food and supplying their own entertainment. 261- Steve Skovera Adolph Rauch Herbert Russell Miss Krebs Fred Hampel Matthew Rauch Robert Wesner Warren Virgil Mark Heiney Lawrence Kline Ed Hempel Gerald Weaver Bill Snodgrass I.

Phil Pierce was elected president and Bob Habicht, secretary and treas- urer. This club meets on the last school Monday of each month. These meetings are under the supervision of various members of the club and usually include the reading of a French story, a report on French cus- toms, and sometimes a French game or two, and always delicious re- freshments. In the spring this group went en masse to Notre Dame and spent an enjoyable afternoon there. The purpose of these club activities is to give the student a better background of the language by introducing him to the qualities, customs, and mannerisms of the people who speak the lan- guage. With the aid of the orchestra and Mr. Robinson a street cafe scene was presented in an assembly, featuring Pierre Le Brun and his orchestra. Songs were sung in French, short numbers were given, and the program ended with Vive la France. CMI
