In March, the French Club provided some- thing new for the members of 'Canton High, namely, a dessert sale, held at noon, for the special benefit of rural students. The sale proved a success both financially and socially. Also during the month of March we invited two French students, Helen Kenyon and Jeanne Lumley, to join our ranks as associate mem- bers. The year's activities will close with a ban- quet which will be held about the first of June. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMEIRICA First Row - Grunt, W. Rocco, Huntley. G. Mnclbonuld, Ib. llurwell.

lnterdenominational Young People Although the attendance was somewhat smaller this year than formally, the Young People's had a very successful year. As every member agreed that he did not know enough about the life of Jesus, we chose this topic for our group discussions. Other programs included supper meetings, music, and local or out-of-town guest speakers. The high spots of the year were two successful parties held in Fisher Hall at the University. Everyone enjoyed them and thought they were very worthwhile, The officers for the year were: President, Mary Longshore, secretary, Barbara Huntg treasurer, Richard Michaels. Reverend Hugh Tigner and Dr. Max Kapp were our very competent advisors. Methodist Youth Fellowship Meetings of The Methodist Youth Fellowship are held Sunday evenings at 7 o'clock. The program consists of a worship service, dis- cussion, and business meeting. Our average attendance is about 20. During the first part of the year Rev. Dobbie spoke to us on the Gospel of St. Luke. During the latter part of the year we have discussed topics from The World Outlook on The Coming Peace. Special speakers of the year have been: Rev. Thomas, Why Men Preach g Mr. Hydon, Our Methodist Hymnal g Miss Sanford, The Six Pillars off Peace. Our activities have included, monthly supper meetings, a sleigh ride, exchange visits with neighboring groups, We presented a Christ- mas pageant and an Easter sunrise service and breakfast.
