Soggau, Winnaarh, 'naw O Monarchs News, the Denison High School paper, was edited by the two journalism classes, each a semester in length, under the able super- vision of Mrs. Richard Bachman. The editor-ln- chief for the first semester was Marjorie Johnson: for the second semester, Joyce Kearney. An en- tirely new idea for the Monarch News was suc- cessfully carried out this year. Instead of the usual mimeographed sheets, the news was pub- lished in the city's two weekly editions, The Bulletin and Review. The journalism classes had complete charge of a page in the Review. They planned their own publications and titles and organized the structure of the page. This has given invaluable training in the art of journalism to these people. The journalism class this year has striven to make thc paper a success. They have not only raised it from a gossip column but have made it an informative, interesting, and yet amusing paper which not only we but our parents and fellow citizens have enjoyed. Let's give three cheers for the Monarch News of '45 and '46 and to the journalism classes who have made it what it is. O Because of its constant activities, the Pep Club is one of the most prominent organizations in the school. The chief duty of the Pep Club has been the preparation and presentation of pep meetings before the home football and basketball gamcs. The club consists of thirty students and their sponsor. Jean Lunsford, Mollie Geith, Gene Slev- ert, Cleve Helden and John O'Connor were elected by the student body as cheerleaders. Mr. Walters ls the club sponsor, Jean Lunsford, president, and John O'Connor, secretary-treasurer. This organization presented several pep meet- ings that will never be forgotten. We shall ala ways remember Tom Saggau, in the title role of Jack in the Bean Stalk, and the parody, written by a senior, on Poe's The Raven. Never to be forgotten was Dirtie Gertie, in which all the cues went wrong, but Pete got Irene in the end anyhow. Funds were raised during the year for the pur- chase of new cheerleaders' jackets, which will be given to the school in memory of the Pep Club of '46, which will also leave many other memories behind them. .-29 L.

The train- ing consists of four years of vocational agriculture in high school, supplemented by additional activi- ties. The major purposes of this organization are the development of agricultural leadership, coop- eration, good citizenship, improvement of agri- culture, and a spirit of patriotism. The local or Friendly City Chapter of the F. F. A. consists of 43 members. The following officers were elected bythe members: Leslie Rath, presidentg Don Crane, vice-presidentg Donald Langholtz, treasurerg-Neal Moeller, secretary, and Vernon Lueck, sergeant- at-arms. Mr. Ruch acts as their adviser. One of the F. F. A. cooperative achievements that gave them state-wide recognition this year was the canning of 350 quarts of tomato juice as an UNRRA contribution to European food relief. In the state dairy heifer essay contest the Deni- son group won more recognition than any other school in the state by winning a purebred Jersey heifer calf, a S50.00 War Bond, and 3 honorable mention certificates. Opportunity for participation in worthy agri- cultural achievement has been made possible by the organization of the following subsidiary F. F. A. organizations: A Swine Improvement Assoc- iation, a Horticulture Club, and a Crop Improve- ment Association. An F. F. A. basketball team was organized which participated in tive games with only one defeat. Harold Eggers was elected captain of the team.
