It was a late afternoon of a beautiful September day. The sun was going down beyond the horizon when lo, what did we see as we were passing Hawkeye Park? Grouped about a bright fire were the girls of the F. H. A., faces aglow, as they roasted weiners on long sticks. Miss Trickett and Miss Strickler, looking much like school girls in their sports attire, were enjoying the fun with the rest of the girls. This was the opening event of the year for the F. H. A. On December third the girls held a special meeting celebrating the birthday of Ellen H. Richards. They presented a playlet The Life of Ellen H. Richards to acquaint the new members with the life work of the founder of Home Economics. Later in December when visions of St. Nicholas filled the minds of everyone, the club had a Christmas party. Merry carols filled the Vocational Building as sixty-nine voices joined in happy chorus. In January Miss Strickler visited the State Farm Show at Harris- burg and saw the exhibits. The other activities of the year included a St. Patrick's Day party and a Mother-Daughter Tea for the mothers of Senior Home Economics girls. Also the oH'icers were permitted to attend the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Home Economics Association held in Pittsburgh in May. The Future Farmers of America is not only a local but also a state and national club. At East Huntingdon it has been steadily pro- gressing under the able leadership of Mr. Sebold. Any boy wishing to join this organization must have a favorable average in agriculture and must secure a majority vote of the active membership. Last summer the boys had an enjoyable time while camping at the Boy Scout camp on Deep Creek Lake near Oakland, Maryland. When fall arrived they organized a basketball team to compete with the surrounding F. F. A. teams. The club was well represented at the state Farm Show held at Harrisburg in January. During the second week of February the boys attended the twelfth annual Farmers' Institute in Mount Pleasant which they found most interesting. The judging team showed its knowledge of livestock at the county judging contest. Hoping to cap- ture a prize at the state project book contest, some of the farm-mind- ed boys are working on fine projects that will be completed this sum- mer. In order to raise money for its activities the club sold pop and hot dogs at the football games, and later in the year, paper savers and seeds. During the last few weeks of school the future farmers prac- tised diligently for the mushball season ahead of them. 27

One of the oldest and most noteworthy organizations of our school is the Glee Club, a fine musical group directed by Mrs. Arthur Hyatt. The club consists of some one hundred ten members, ninety of whom are girls. Throughout the year these people participated in many events, including singing at the community Christmas programs at Greensburg and Rutfsdale, at various churches, and, of course, many school programs, all of which were exceedingly well done and worthy of comment. The highlight of the elub's activities this year, however, was the operetta, And It Rained. This was a story built around misun- derstandings which might have proven serious had not a terrific storm taken things in hand and landed the rebellious ones wet, weary, and disgruntled at Mr. and Mrs. Wise's small town hotel. There they were forced to meet and iron out their difficulties. The musicale was quite a success, having a cast which included Dale Rhome, Esther Bowser, Thelma Stiltenpole, Ralph Berg, Kyle Fox, Imogene Bashioum, Kenneth Eichner, William Gratzinger, Helen Hough, Robert Baker, Dorothy Hill, Wilmer Rosen, and James Stoner. Thus the Glee Club brought to a close a very busy year. The meeting of the Lloyd E. Davis History Club began with the rap for order and the roll call by our president, Betty Brown, Helen Hough the secretary-treasurer, read the minutes of the last meeting and reported on the treasury. Finding that our budget was more than balanced, we decided to purchase the large pole Hag which was dedi- cated during the Armistice Day services and now waves daily before our school. The suggestion that the name History Club be changed to the Lloyd E. Davis History Club was received with unanimous ap- proval. Plans were made for a bus trip to Fort Necessity on April 19. Those members who had made this expedition last year agreed that we could expect a most enjoyable time. The Lloyd E. Davis History Club was founded by a man who loved history and who was so greatly interested in his pupils as to want to acquaint them with the sights and background of our native state as well as with the problems of our day. With this purpose in mind we are continuing with the work which he started, in the hope that we may live up to his expectations of us. 29
