STUDENT This term the student board, under its presi- dent, Nancy Nevin, granted charters to two new clubs. These clubs were the Rolling Pioneers, a group which is open to all students interested in roller skating, and the Chemistry Club, which is for the benefit of chemistry enthusiasts. The semi-annual dance given by this term's Board was the Shower Shuffle presented Friday, April 20, This was very successful, and charms were given to all girls who attended. For the first time a decorating committee was chosen to trim the lunchrooms on various holi- days. Two musical instruments were purchased for the use of students who are interested in learning how to play them, Money was appropriated for flowers for the funerals of Mr Fetherolf, former vice-principal, and Miss Bacon, former chemistry teacher. A fund was started to purchase a memorial for Mrs Fetherolf. Various active committees of the Board in- clude the receipt, dance, attendance, election, Twenty-seven BOARD safety and transportation, and Father's Associa- tion.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATICJN The Athletic Association, under the able super- vision of Mrs S, Hunter Kurtz, is one of the hardest working organizations in Frankford High School. Without the selling of the AA, books that are placed on sale each fall, the school would not have the splendid athletic opportunity it now affords to both boys and girls. Through the sale of these AA. books funds are secured to support our teams, These books provide admission to all of the sports for the school year. Every student buying one of these books co- operates in furthering sports in Frankford. The re- turns from the sale of books go into the A,A. treasury, Many sports don't support themselves by the charge of admission to gamesg and therefore the treasury must pay for uniforms! officials' fees, l f,, and the transportation for the team members to away games. The Athletic Association buys nearly all the equipment needed for the various sports activities. It also made a donation that was used to help in purchasing the band uniforms. Each term every class elects a representative whose chief duty it is to sell ATA. books. AA. books and tickets to games may also be bought at the AA, booth during lunch periods and before school. The Athletic Association, which has been in existence for over thirty years, has for its officers this year Frank Baurle, presidenty Rose Lill, vice- presidentg and AA. council consisting of Frank Foedisch, Warren Mann, Ann l-ligh, and Janet Warren.
