Varied Clubs Help The Beta Club helps students disci- pline themselves by trying to maintain an average of 90 or above. While this is one requirement, a Beta member must have worthy character, a commendable attitude, and be approved by the head of the school. The purposes of the club are to stimulate effort, to reward achievement, and to encourage members to continue their education after high school. This club sponsors various pro- jects throughout the year to pay for their chaperone’s trip to the National Beta Club convention. Susan consults Miss Evans about the varied projects of the Beta Club. The F.H.A. is the club of the Future Homemakers of America. These girls take home economics and learn the various homemaking aspects. Each morning a F.H.A. member is responsible for preparing the coffee to be placed in the teachers’ lounge. These girls do many other activities such as serving refreshments at faculty meetings, pre- paring meals for invited guests, and collecting for UNICEF on Halloween night. Other than cooking, these mem- bers learn to sew their own clothes. F.H.A. members place the coffee for the teachers in the lounge before school. The Library Club is an organization consisting of girls who are interested in the various phases of library work. Most members assist Mrs. Gadberry in the library. They are active during their study halls, at lunch periods, and after school. These girls learn the many tech- niques of keeping a library in order. The club meets once a month and has very interesting programs. One of special interest was a talk by Susan Hancock of her trip to Europe. At another meeting the experienced members taught the incoming members the different aspects of the library work. Connie Babb seems to be studying while she has a free minute as she assists Mrs. Gadberry in the library. 12
