Prospective Homemakers And The DeVilbiss Future Homemakers of Amer- ica grew this year with an addition of twenty-five new members who joined after receiving invita- tions showing the chib emblem and colors. The can- dlelight initiation was held at the home of Ar- lyne Stoll while Gloria Smith relinquished her basement for the rough initiation ceremony. During November we wrapped and mailed twenty Christmas gifts to the World Festivals for Friendship for children overseas. Late in Janu- ary we received fifteen artistic, personal thank-you cards for these packages. December found us at a Christmas party at Darlene Lange ' s home. We gave up our gift ex- change in preference to entertaining fifty-two ten to twelve-year-old children at the Miami Children ' s Home on the Monday before Christmas. We also decorated a hall display case at DeVilbiss under the leadershif) of Gloria Smith and Carolyn Stein- liauer. The committee chairmen for the year were: Program — Carolyn Steinhauer; Social — Shirley Behm; Project — Ronnie Engelke; Publicity — Dar- lene Lange; Membership — Edith Upson. The home economics department of the Uni- versity of Toledo was the topic of a tour and tea in February. A conducted tour through LaSalle ' s and a St. Patrick ' s Day party formed the meetings of March. Speakers from the Gas Company and Toledo Edison Company augmented by Miss Marie Stoll talking on her trip to England held the interest of the members in later meetings. Plans were made for a dance and bake sale to make money for the treasury. The purposes of the club are to promote a growing appreciation of homemaking, to work to- ward good home life for all, to promote interna- tional good will, to develop leaders, to provide wholesome recreation, to further interest in home economics. Officers for the year were Gloria Smith, Pres- ident; Arlyne Stoll, Vice-President; Ellen Cole, Secretary; Gwen Treby, Treasurer; Janet Rees, In- ter-Club Council Representative; Nancy Terry, Historian; Miss Marie Stoll and Miss Mary Barg- mann, advisers. 94

Freshman Hi-Y Strives For Unity With the purpose of creating and maintain- ing throughout the school and community a higher standard of Christian character, the boys of the Freshmen Hi-Y organized their ehih with vigor. Barry Nauts was elected to preside over the meet- ings and Bruce Steinhauer, to the position of vice- president. The minutes of the meetings were kept by Jack Mundy, while Louis Henkel collected the dues and balanced the treasurer ' s book. The meetings were very entertaining with such speakers as Mr. Tibet, Mr. Leverett, and other well known citizens. At some of the remaining meetings we had debates and discussions. The Freshman Hi-Y undertook two commun- ity projects this year. The first was to distribute Community Chest parcels. It was thrilling to go to the different business places of Toledo and to see all those who were participating in the drive. The second project was to help distribute Christmas baskets to the less fortunate people of the city and the surrounding country side. A dele- gation of fifteen boys started at 8:30 a. m. the day before Christmas and began packing about two hundred baskets. After packing, the members broke up into smaller groups and delivered bas- kets in the city while some boys went to suburban areas. Besides being interesting and lots of fun, this project gave us satisfaction by helping others. Soon after, the area Freshman Hi-Y basket- ball tournament began. As some of the high schools had not yet formed Freshman Hi-Y Clubs, our DeVilbiss team had only two opponents — Jones Junior High School and Robinson Junior High School. The first game with Jones was a hard and well-won battle with DeVilbiss ' winning by a score of 19 to 12. The second game with Rob- inson was the championship game with Robinson regarded as the favorite. We took a 6 to 2 lead and kept on playing with excellent teamwork to win, 35 to 11. The members enjoyed many other recrea- tional activities at the Y.M.C.A. throughout the year. We came to the end of this year with the ad- dition of manv new friends made through our De- Vilbiss Freshman Hi-Y. 93

Teachers Prepare For The Future On the eleventh of December another new club was added to the DeVilbiss roster of organi- zations. Miss O ' Brien and the officers of the Scott Future Teachers of America performed the instal- lation ceremony for the DeVilbiss Future Teachers of America at a tea in our library. Mr. Nauts in introducing the main speaker, Mr. E. L. Bowsher. gave a short talk on interesting incidents in teach- ing. Mr. Bowsher spoke on the future of teaching. Fifteen members signed the charter. The membership was open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors with at least a C average who have an interest in the teaching profession. The purposes of the F.T.A. are to develop among young people preparing to be teachers a good national and state organization; to acquaint teachers in training with the history, ethics, and program of the organized teaching profession: to give teachers in training practical experience in working together on the problems of the profes- sion and the community; to interest the best young men and women in education as a lifelong career; to encourage careful selection of persons admit- ted to schools which prepare teachers; to seek through the dissemination of information and through higher standards of preparation to bring teacher supply and demand into a reasonable bal- ance. For the initiation of new members in March several members of the DeVilbiss faculty spoke on Why I Am A Teacher. Teachers of special class- es, such as speech and sight-saving, furnished one program and small study groups working on the various types of education interested all the mem- bers.
