m Paffof Ogd m The patrolboys are responsible for the safe streets around Emporia High. Sponsored by George Lodle, these boys are on duty every morning and noon, doing all in their power to prevent accidents and insure safe pedestrian crossings. Stage Craft is an honorary organization that deserves a lot of credit! The club was started in 1939, as the Industrial Arts Club until it was changed in 1941 to Stage Craft. The club composed of not more than fifteen members is sponsored by George A. Lodle and its various jobs are: working on the Christmas Pageant, school plays, school parties, working on major stage productions,and the boys are ushers for 66 games. Stage Craft's intramural basketball team is in its second year and is doing well. To become a member the boys must be in an Industrial Arts class and be industrious. The officers are chosen at the end of the previous year. This year's officers are: president, Bud Merwingvice- president, Richard Homewood: treasurer, Dick Scheveg secretary, Dave Smith. Two boys with three years' service graduate this year. They are Merwin and Homewood. All the boys have been awarded a major letter for their service.

Completing its fourth year in Emporia High School, the Kiwanis-sponsored Key Club has made itself successful. With service to the school and community as its object, this organization carries out many projects. A B average is required for admittance to this club composed of 201, sophomores, 402 juniors, and 402 seniors. The furnishing of the school with a badly needed accessary--clocks for the third floor hall--was one worthwhile though expensive project. Promoting school sprit by means of Beat Ivlanhattann tags, helping out the teachers by taking tickets at the football games, giving an assist to the Chamber of Commerce by checking hats at the Town and Country Smoker are a few more of the accomplishments of the organization. Each year a Parents-Son Banquet is given for the fathers and mothers of the Key Club members. An excellent meal precedes a short program explaining the Key Club. Food sales, rummage sales, concessions at football games and the Carnivalita con- stitute the means by which the Key Club finance their achievements, and also part of the club members expenses to the International Convention at Miami, Florida, June Z8-29, The breaking off of Kansas from the Key Club Mo-Kan-Ark district, prompted the staging of the first district convention at Emporia.
