CLUBS From Bows and Arrows to Needles and Pins USHERS “Would you get eight ushers for the assembly Friday?” That question appeared in an untiring manner throughout the year, but it was always accepted willingly by the members of Miss Julia Smiths Usher Club. While they learned the pointers of ushering, they really enjoyed the club sessions and made fine ushers. Identification — First row — D. Hambleton, B. Weise, J. Sever- ance, vice-president, M. Williams. Second row — Miss Smith, ad- viser, B. Foote, M. Calvin, J. Wendel, S. Rau. Third row — M. Scott, M. Webb, F. Sprague, S. O’Conner, B. Daniels, L. Becker. Fourth row — M. Davis, R.

Although it seemed as though the jobs were endless, some of the mem- bers finished and learned the principles of shoot- ing. Bystanders seemed to feel th?t the members hadn’t accomplished much, but the club members had so much fun that even the unfinished bows seemed to be great accomplishments!

CAMERA “No! No! The hypo, not the developer!” Such were the exclamations heard from Dick Carl’s dark room, where the members of the Camera Club learned the mechanics of develop- ing and printing. Mr. Hines, the adviser, gave much supervision and helpful advice and recommended certain articles on photography for the eager pupils. Interest was greatly aroused when a contest was begun to choose the best picture, taken by one of the club members, at the end of the year. Their interest taught them a lot about photogra- phy and offered lots of fun! Identification — Seated—G. Brockway, A. Dean, secre- tary', treasurer, A. Eaton, E. Benton, D. Young, J. Osborn. Standing — R. Carl, president, V. Benton, L. Compton, vice president, Mr. Hine, adviser. SEWING “Yawn!” Each month a quiet hour (as was indicated by the above exclamation) was spent in Room 103 under the supervision of Miss Dontje. Each of the eight members of the Sewing Club busily followed whatever type of sewing she preferred and at whatever rate of speed she desired. They had loads of fun in a calm way and still managed to accomplish a lot. Identification — Seared—J. Mix, S. Smith, M. Havwood, j. Baird, M. Martin, G. Clark, M. Wilson, B. Ingram. Standing — Miss Dontje, adviser. MODEL “Whoosh!” “What was that?” Perhaps it was the “prop busters” racing a carbondioxide jet racer in the lower hall. It seems that the members of the Model Club couldn’t send their newest “speed jobs” into flight at the Athletic Field due to unsuitable weather and utilized the tired interior of ol’ H.H.S. instead. Mr. Withers, the adviser, gave needed help to the boat builders of the club and contributed ideas to the model airplane fans. Identification — First row — Mr. Withers, adviser, R. Kurr, president, R. Johnson, secretary, F. Pierce, F. Fuhr, D. Otis. Second row — R. Dimond, W. Buehler, G. Merrill, reporter, D. Murphy, E. Campbell, Third rou-R. Munn, A. Meinert, vice president, Flubert Gibson, N. Ziegler. LISTENERS What do you like to listen to in your spare time? The Listeners Club had any type one could want. They varied from famous C.B.S. programs on the tape recorder to Spike Jones and semi- classical music on records. The type of program depends upon the wishes of the members of the club. One outstanding event for the members was to hear their own voices on the tape recorder after Mr. Sim, the adviser, had recorded them. Living up to its name with added pleasure, the club was great fun! Identification — Seated — Mr. Sim, adviser, S. Flarringron, vice president, W. Guidet, R. Waite, E. Seeber. Second rou— R. Silvernail, reporter, P. Bugbee, B. Bryans, M. Reynolds, D. Grierson, B. Freese, president, R. McLaughlin.

F. F. A. F. H. A. “Whew! What strenuous exercise!” The members of the F.F.A. under the super- vision of Mr. Knopf, have had a busy sceduie and had a right to say such things as the above. The Ag-He in November preceded a game supper and the cutting and selling of Christmas trees in December. Unhampered by so much exertion they attended in January the Farmers’ Week at East Lansing. President Duane Jones and Secretary Stanley Pierce represented this chapter in the National Convention at Kansas City. Other activities included planting trees at Yankee Springs and competing with other F.F.A. chapters in basketball. They have also given dif- ferent awards to those outstanding in various activities. “Umm! Is this good!” This could easily have been one of the approv- ing comments of the F.F.A. boys, enjoying the game supper that the F.H.A. girls had prepared for them. The fellows brought in the game, and the girls cooked a luscious meal from their results. With the serving of a snack for the teams after a home basketball game, plus raising money for new curtains in the home economics room, the F.H.A. enjoyed a busy and prosperous year. Is it any wonder that the club’s membership in- creased from twenty-five last year to forty-six this year? Identification—First row—M. Campbell, J. Staffen, treasurer, P. Davis, J.
