Future Farmers With an enrollment of over one hundred fifty active members, t chartered under the nation wide organization, The Future tutes the largest club in C. T. H. S. By giving its members interesting programs con- taining music, talks, and open forums, the club has intensified interest in farm life. About the middle of June, the sponsor and officers attended the annual state conven- tion held in Champaign. At Christmas time the club asked the student body to bring . . . h anything suitable for a charity basket. The donated articles were turned over to t e fire department for distribution. In an effort to exterminate pests, a contes co g classes was won by the third hour class. Points were given in the following quotas: rats, 100, crows, 1005 owls, 1005 blue jays, S03 moles, 50, crow eggs, 50, mice, 103 blackbirds, Sg sparrows, 5. As a reward, the winner was given a Wiener roast by the losers. During the year tentative plans were made to secure fund he Future Farmers, Farmers of America, consti- t nducted amon the five agricultural s to construct a club house in the Ozarks. Mr. Clarida sponsored the club N Dunbar, vice-president, Edgar Allison, secretary-treasurer, Earl Johnson, reporter to the Illinois Future Farmer Bulletin. .

Extra Curricular Persons in a osition to know enerall admit that no bo or irl should attem t to U P g U Y l . Y sn P go through high school or college without taking an active part in the work of some extra-curricular activity. Early in the year students at C. T. H. S. are invited to consider what kind of club they would like to join. If no such club has existed here before, arrangements can usually be made for some member of the faculty to undertake to sponsor the activity. New clubs are continually being introduced as the desire for them is made known. One, the Music Club was organized during the second semester of this year. At least :four are now only two years old. Certain other clubs have had a much longer historyg for example, the German Club is nearly twenty years old. A schedule showing the times of meeting is made out at the beginning of the year. Care is exercised to avoid conflicts in the dates assigned to different clubs which are likely to be of interest to the same person. Thus it is usually possible for a student to be a member of more than one club if he wishes. A great many of our students take adva-ntage of this fact. Some of the clubs are quite small having fewer than a dozen members. Others have an enrollment of a hundred to a hundred fifty. There seems to be no definite relation of any sort between the size of the club and its possibilities for service. Ordinarily the smaller organization will allow the members to enjoy a more personal contact with the sponsor and with the other members. In the smaller club each individual will also be able to have a part in the programs. In the larger group, participation in a program will do much to help one overcome any timidity he might feel about appearing in public. Clubs directly related to the courses taught in the school make a definite contribution to the student's understanding of the course. This statement is especially true of the language clubs, for in them the student is introduced to countless interesting things which increase his appreciation of the language and the people who use it. Boys and girls both find that the physical education program of the school is very worth-while. Ordinarily, fifty or more boys come out for football and spend many hours in hard practice in order to qualify for the school team. In the basketball season a great many boys try for positions on the squad. When track season rolls around, a goodly number of track and field enthusiasts are out and eager to go. The girls play soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis during the year. In the spring a great number of girls participate in the annual May Festival. These activities help to keep those taking part in them in excellent physical condition so that they can do good school work. Students feeling the urge to write can usually find a position on either the newspaper or the yearbook staff. Individual instruction in journalism is generally given to persons showing the ability to absorb it and the inclination to work. Publications are very exacting in their requirements. Students greatly interested in other activities ordinarily do not have time to do such work. Twenty-one

The Gr. A. A. Since the G. A. A. officers were chosen last spring, it was an easy matter for the organ- ization to begin functioning immediately after school reopened this fall. ln a short talk at the Hrst meeting, Miss Whelan introduced herself by briefly outlining the intended girls' athletic program of the year. She mentioned new rules concerning the qualifications of girls taking gym and introduced a new procedure to be followed in all the sports activities. In addition to soccer, volleyball, basketball, and baseball, she said there would be tennis. On October 19, girls from Greenville, Odin, Vandalia, and Mt. Vernon came to Centralia for the first Play-day ever staged by the local G. A. A.'s. Fun and frolic was the order of the day as the circus theme unfolded. Throughout the day contests were held between the two main teams, Clowns' and Bare-back Riders. From 10:00 to 10:30, the main object was to get acquainted. Then everyone enjoyed an hour of vigorous action in contests of bat-ball, basketball, and baseball. After Centralia had carried away all the honors in the posture parade, the group adjourned to the cafeteria where they were served with a delicious luncheon. When they returned to the gymnasium, each town presented a spectacular stunt. llplllfli GROl'l Burk Vim' -Fwinf' l'L-Coit Xrniii lulm in Txlxi Fo XI K Y 1 . A A . ,,. 1 . . . gg. V si . I' ws.
