Kramer, . yder. A new activity was introduced to our high school this year when speech was of- fered as a part of the curriculum. The thir- teen students who became known as the Chatterbugs under the leadership of Mr. Swanson, began the year by writing the con- stitution for the club. In this way we became experienced in parliamentary procedure. One of the activities of the year included a special radio broadcast over station WSDR. We gave a skit which was our part in the pro- gram for National Education Week. Our speech making activities during the past year were valuable lessons, and it is hop- ed that the success of this venture will es- tablish a permanent speech department in our high school. Page 43

The Mostellaria Latin Club was organ- ized in the fall of 49 for the purpose of pro- moting common interest for the Latin stu- dents of this school, to further the interest of Latin, and to provide a social outlet for the members. Membership is limited to the students who have taken or are taking Latin. The meetings of this club were held once a month. The first meeting consisted of the election of officers as follows: lst Semester 2nd Semester Dux Berniece Kinney Bob Dykema Legatus Bob Dykema LaVerne Hoogheem Scribus Lois Hoff ' Betty Kruse Coactus-Pecuniae Rush Wilkens Rush Wilkens Centurion Harlan Housenga Harlan Housenga Sponsor: Mr. Swanson Then came the night of the party. About 4:00 o'clock everyone was hurrying to get the decorations and everything set up on time. Although there was little time for prepara- tion, the party was a success. The gym was decorated in streamers of green and white with balloons flying in space. Entertainment Page 42 consisted of social dancing, games, songs by the Junior Sextet and a couple of Latin tunes by Laverne Hoogheem, Irwin Hoogheem, and Jerry Voss. Last of all came the delicious re- freshments of pop, ice-cream, cake, and fin- ally the gnawing of different colored pop- corn balls.
