C onservation Club -. ,. flnnnfununq AfLnNs The Science Club float consisted of a miniature house erected on a truck with a Fairfield mule standing on the green lawn. Our mule, Roger Eckle- berry, means business with his club ugzraised ready to keep the Flora wolf from the door. Second deserving prize winner was the 5 o Club float. The mule certainly liad lcnee action, gathering from the appearance of the bleeding wolf lying at the Fairfield Mules heels. The mule left the wolf's head on, but apparently fatally wounded him. Probably the hottest of all floats was that of the Conservation Club, Look at the streamlined beauty, Char- letta Webber, in the bathing suit. Bob Bone is actually burning down the place with his guitar music. The stove adds to the warmth as though it were needed with all that blazing pulchri- tude of Juanita Jessop sitting on the fenders. Naturally we expect the wolves to howl, but. girls, we mean from pain. un-F,-4 r C RY11.. GLUB

They sang for the Chamber of Commerce of Fairfield and at the high school Christmas program. Mr. Wethering- ton has done a grand job of teaching both popular and classical songs to the girls. lt's enlightening to hear these beautiful voices of the Glee Club sounding throughout the bottom floor. Glee Club, however, does not offer a full credit toward graduation, but the classes do not meet every day. lt offers a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with good singing and to be able to enioy it. The Boys' Glee Club, like that of the girls, has made various appearances at school and throughout the community. These boys do wonderful singing. They aren't lazy either: they sold Christmas cards and the Wayne County RECORD subscrip- tions in order to help pay for their new choir robes. The director, Mr. Wethering- ton, has taught our future Sinatras and Crosbys many songs. We should hear more from the high school Glee Clubs in the future. They have entertained many busi- ness and civic organizations.
