SPELLING CLUB-In 1959 Miss Mae Light organized the Spelling Club of which the Spelling team is a part. The culmination of this organization's activities is the competition with teams from other schools and at the annual Pierce contest. The team, composed of Kathryn LeFevre, Mary Young, Grace Beer, Mar- garet Brunner, Doris Saxton, and Merle Kreutz, was not able to compete at Pierce this year because that school is being used for defense purposes. However, the Geuting Shoor-Tred Shoe Company invited them to broadcast over station KYW on May 7. Since only three representatives were to go, a series of tests were scheduled and the following were selected: Grace Beer, Mary Young, and Kathryn LeFevre. By defeating Lansdale in this contest, each girl received a pair of shoes. Business meetings are held once a month while the remaining club periods are spent in the studying of spelling. The major school activity of the year was the sponsoring of an auditorium program in the form of a spelling contest. All home rooms competed and the winning delegates, which were from Room E, each received a movie ticket as a prize. Officers of the Spelling Club are as follows: Kathryn LeFevre, president 5 Margaret Brunner, vice president 5 and Merle Kreutz, secretary-treasurer. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB-UHdCF the guidance of Miss Ella DeWees the Home Economics Club was organized in 1952 as the Dinner Belles . After a few years this name was dropped and it has since been known simply as the Home Economics Club. Serving to continue interest in home economics among girls who have already taken a course in home making this club allows a great deal of individual freedom in that each girl may choose whatever project connected with homemaking she wishes. Knitting, Crocheting, and making articles for their hope chests seem to be the most popular among the members. Although the club had only nine members this year due to the fact that several girls moved away, it sponsored several skating parties to which the girls invited their friends. Also among the social activities were a Christmas party and a picnic. Officers of the Home Economics Club include: Ella Miller, presidentg Iosephine Moyer, vice president g and Helen Sherman, secretary. 41
