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

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.

The other of the two clubs under the guidance of Mrs. Weaver is that for second year Latin students. It is called Legio Decima. Its aim is the same as that of the French club, to give the student a better understanding of the people and country of the Romans in order to interpret their language to a better degree. To this end, reports are given on every Roman subject from funerals to feasts. The consul in charge of the meetings is Dick Habicht, pro-consul is Marjorie Meuleman, and Doris Allee has been appointed to the posi- tion of scribe. On St. Valentine's Day, the club enjoyed a pot luck dinner at the Presbyterian Church, and in the spring they plan to travel to Notre Dame and spend an afternoon viewing the campus and buildings. ,fa fin CM3 Mrs. Weaver George Fitch Bill Donley Arnold Herman Jack Ednie Dick Habicht Persis Kelley Kathryn Koenigshof Helen Mary Sachs Bob Heiney John Montgomery Barbara French Bonnie June Chain Marjorie Bowman Arlis Fairman Doris Allee Marjorie Meuleman Barbara Swartz Bette Melvin Ellen Vander-Ven Barbara Palmatier Jean Hausman Patricia Dellinger Dorothie Sherwood l29I
