Ifka Has a Busy Year Ifka has had a full calendar during this school year. Christmas cards and wrapping paper were sold to make money so that Ifka could honor their mothers at the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. The cards netted $164.25, which was very good. The October activity for Ifka was a travel party with Peggy Searls’ house as winner. The activity for November was a Hoe-Down party given for the Hi-Y boys. This was a lot of fun and enjoyed by everyone. Patty Heskett and Joe Wilson won prizes as the Hoe-Down boy and girl. The activity for December was the nicest of all. That’s when the girls have the annual Christmas party with a tree, Santa, and all the trimmings. Two girls go together and bring a small child. Games were enjoyed and each child received a gift and some candy from Santa. In January the girls enjoyed a Chili supper, and dancing in the music room, and after the supper the girls went to a basketball game in the auditorium. In February was our long waited for Washington Tea. This year the tea was a little different than before. A minstrel was presented and enjoyed by all guests. “Courtesy Week” was held on December 4. Two pens were awarded to the two most courteous students. They were presented to Caroline McIntyre and Robert Russel. The annual Mother-Daughter banquet was held March 27, at the Evangelical United Brethren Church. Miss Alice Stratton gave an interesting talk on “Shawls.” The new officers for 1948, president, Barbara Kemerer; vice president, Peggy Searls; secretary, Virginia Gibbs; treasurer, June Watson; were installed by the old officers of 1947, president. Rose Marie Atkins; vice president, Mary Lou Pryor; secretary, Edna Mae Brown; and treasurer, Patty Heskett. This year’s Ifka girls will be the first to have pins. The pins, similar to Hi-Y, are blue and gold.

B CLUB American History Honor Students BOTTOM ROW, Left to right— Nelson, McIntyre, Wintgens, Klingler; Advisor, Miss Dillehay. MIDDLE ROW— Heskett, Baker, Sharp, Atkins, Bradshaw. TOP ROW— Hammers, Burley, Roush, Fauley, Brown. The honor club of the American History class is unusually small this year, not because of lack of interest in history but because of the small class. The attendance has varied from three to fourteen. Most of the programs were put on by the club members but one very interesting guest speaker was invited in during the year. Mr. Harold (Slim) Showers kept the club members so interested that they almost forgot to go home telling of his experiences in Africa and Asia and of his work among the stars of Hollywood. Of course the girls were full of questions about Van Johnson, Frank Sinatra, etc. The club project for the year has been raising funds for an honor cup to carry annually the name of the outstanding American History student. The club was organized some sixteen years ago by Miss Carolyn Dillehay as an incentive for better work in her favorite subject. The officers for 1946-47: President—Dolores Sharp. Vice-president—Rose Marie Atkins. Secretary-Treasurer—Maurice Fauley. Reporter—Betty Klingler.
