Students and Faculty Enjoy Special Activities Future Business Leaders of American were host of Weed and Flower Day. Students bought flowers for their favorites and weeds for their not-so-favorites. The flowers or weeds or both were then delivered to the party for which they had been bought. Some students purchased weeds for a joke to upset several people’s allergies. However, the day went over quite well. The annual FHA banquet was held this year with many guests including DHS's own Gene McCane, taking part in the festivities. The guests enjoyed putting on a square dance for the students. The statewide launch to keep the sketches and paintings of George Caleb Bingham in Missouri, came to DHS as Mrs. Cathy Miller was host to an assembly here. Mrs. Miller showed slides of Bingham’s sketches and paintings to the students, and then asked that everyone pledge money to help keep the artist’s works in Missouri. Mr. John Mole was a guest speaker from Bell Telephone Company. He displayed old phones and new developments in computerphones, etc., to the Science students of DHS. Mr. Mole also demonstrated some new ways of transporting the sound from place to place. The Phase Disco Sound System supplied the music for the 75-76 Band Dance. Band students and their dates danced to the music from 8-12 p.m. and Mike Clippard, band director, was given a CB radio by the students. 22

Hewitt Industrial Forms Arts Club A new club was formed this year; lota Alpha Delta, the Greek letters meaning ‘industrial Arts Club of Dexter.” The club was formed and led by James Hewitt. In order to become a member, the student must have or presently been enrolled in an Industrial Arts class, and have at least an M average in all classes. The officers for this first-year club are president, Bob Henry; vice-president, Don Seymour; secretary, Janet Jones; treasurer, Myron Litzler; reporter photographer, Steve Bell; and sentinel, Jeff Cox. The club chose blue and gold for their colors, and a club crest was designed by Ralph Morgan. Activities included making decoupage plaques to sell at school and the annual Strawberry Festival in order to make money, and they volunteered many hours of work to help clean out the trash and rubbish from the Heritage House which recently burned. Since the club organized late in the year, they had very few projects. Next year, they have hopes of having several tours throughout Dexter and in the major industries in the Bootheel, and create a greater awareness of the workings of industries. Members of the recently formed Industrial Arts club are front row left to right; M. Averett, R. Abbott, and R. Morgan. Second row, James Hewitt, sponsor, D. Seymour, B. Henry, J. Jones, D. Garner, M. Litzler, and J.Cox. 24
