ECHOES STAFF After a lapse of five years we finally have an energetic Senior class, which without much deliberation decided to publish an annual. A staff was chosen with • the result—ECHOES—small but mighty. The editorial staff under Miss Myers condensed the happenings of 1934- 3 5, and submitted the material to the Indianapolis Engraving Company for publication. Under Mr. DeLand the business staff attained a three hundred subscription goal, and with the aid of the patron’s page and the senior play, financed the book with little difficulty. It is the hope of the Class of 3 5 that their efforts to re-establish an old G.H.S. tradition will not be in vain, and that in time, our school may boast of an annua 1, the size we published some five years ago. i ROMANI HODIERNI Romani Hodierni” is a newly organized club spnosored by Miss Rees.

During the past year Louise Jenkins and Richard Parke have acted as consuls. This club meets once a month. At the meetings the time is spent in work and games pertaining to Latin. F. F. A This club has been one of the most prominent of our school organizations. It is sponsored by J. C. Murphy, with Howard Boggess as president and Walter Read as treasurer. In recent years this club has won many honors in Sectional and State contests. In the dairy and corn judging contests the respective teams won first in the Sectional and placed high among the teams in the State contests. The softball team also won the Sectional, but was defeated in several hard fought games in the State Tournament. The basket ball team placed third in the tournament. During the past year the club has made several trips, the most important being trips to the World’s Fair, Horniman’s Dairy, and Cofling Brothers fruit farm. This summer they are planning a trip through northern Illinois and Wisconsin. 1
