To do this. the statl' entered the Critical Service Bureau ot' the N. S. l'. A. During the first semester eaeh issue was sent to this bureau. where eritieisms were marked on the paper and it was returned to the editor two weeks later with a letter eontaining ideas for improvements. Experiments with the front page were carried on by using two-column headlines with one- eolumn stories. pietures and eartoons. During the seeond semester. the statt tried to use one photograph in eaeh issue. The eredit for the make-up ot' this trout page is to be given to the managing editor. Marjorie Talle, who served on the statt' her entire tour years in high school. The seeond page, whieh was used for features, ineluded in every issue a story about one of thc most prominent members ot' the senior 1-lass. The feature editor. Mary Margaret Jaeger. was in eharge ot' this work. Football. basketball, traek and baseball aetivi- ties were very ably covered on the fourth page by Hob tlstenson and his assistants. Rob, the sports editor. also had his own column, 'Side- lights. Tom liyneh. acting as business manager, was responsible for having an income large enough to eover expenditures. Other seniors who deserve praise for their ef- fort this year are Mary M. Roberts. copy editor, llette Dirks. exchange edito1'. Jeanne M'ilson. advertising manager, Marjette l ritehen. feature writer, and Phyllis Bridell. Marilynn Sanderson, Elaine Sunday and Doris Halvorson. typists. The Dynamo also entered the soeial aetivi- ties ot' D. II. S. by sponsoring two sehool parties. At the first one it introduced a new type ot' musie to sehool parties-the publie address system. Not only was this enthusiastieally received by the students but it also enabled the group spon- soring the dance to earn a profit. The seeond party was the sueeesstul Leap Year Dance whieh showed the D. Il. S. Sadie llawkinsesn entertaining their ltiI' Almersf' The Dynamo stat? also had their own parties during the eourse ot' the sehool yea1'. ln the winter there was a skating party and in the spring. the annual banquet at whieh the statt' t'or next year was annouueed.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Cneota Chapter of the Future Farmers is an active organization composed of 18 boys who aspire to be tillers of the soil after graduation from high school. This group has for its advisor Mr. Kenneth Reeves, agriculture instructor in D. H. S. At their initial meeting they elected the following officers: John Hegg, president, Arnold Sersland, vice-presidentg and Charles Rosendahl, secretary-treasurer. The F. A. A. participates in a wide variety of activities during the year. Each year, a live- stock judging team is sent to the Waterloo Dairy Cattle Congress, where they consistently make fine showings for our school. They have also be- come quite well-known for the fine basketball teams which they have, and this year they did especially well by winning the Future Farmers' District basketball tournament. With the com- ing of spring, these boys play soft-ball and base- ball and thus live up to their reputation of being one of the most active organizations in Decorah High School. FROEBEL CLUB Two years ago the Froebel Club became a part of the newly organized National Future Teach- ers' Association. retaining Froebel as the name of the local chapter. This year the club received a 116W charter with two gold seals indicating two years of national membership in good standing. Under the sponsorship of Miss Hazel Brazel- ton, the group enjoyed a profitable year. The first business was the election of officers. Jean Brandt was voted presidentg Lucille Winger, vice-presidentg Muriel Headington, secretaryg Arlene Larson, treasurer, and Carolyn Nelson, reporter. These officers were responsible for the very interesting meetings which were had through-out the year. Highlights included a joint Future Teachers and Future Farmers meet- i11g alld a Dutch theme banquet. The organiza- tion also entertained the Postville High School's Future Teachers Club. THE LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, which is a newly formed group this year. is composed of thirty members who assist Miss Powers during library periods. The purpose of this organization is to familiarize these people with the library so that they may in turn help other students to use it to the best advantage. Any student is eligible to belong to this group and many have gained a greater ap- preciation of our fine library by joining this organization. This group doesn't, however, spend its entire time Working, since they have regular social meetings i11 the form of picnics and parties at which games and refreshments are enjoyed by all. COMMERCIAL CLUB The high school Commercial Club, organized by the advanced shorthand class of 1939, was again in prominence during this school year. With Irene Lubke as president, Everetta. Rear- don as secretary, and Kathryn Seim as treasurer, a great deal of work and fun was participated in by the entire group. Membership in the club is open to anyone in the advanced commercial courses. No special requirements are necessary but since the purpose of the club is to increase ability in all commercial work, a great deal of interest is shown in individual achievement. This year the people in the advanced classes who could meet the typing and shorthand re- quirements were placed in Decorah business of- fices where for six weeks they received actual office experience. So that the club functions would not be all work and no play, potluck suppers were held at different times during the year and a banquet at the Green Parrot climaxed the club activities for the year.
