The Monogram Club of Henry Clay High is an organization which promotes athletics and other school activities with the object of making a better school and student. Vhen a student is presented with a monogram for being active in any sport or sports, he automatically becomes a mem- ber and remains a member as long as he has an interest in the club and its activities. Following the homecoming victory over Chester High School, the Monogram Club sponsored the Homecoming Dance. [ 28 }

SOFTBALL— 1948 First Row — left to right — Ann Mallory, Anne Merritt, Cynthia White, Margaret Nuckols, Hilda Powers, Elsie Coakley, Frances Tate, Marion Somers Second Row — Coach Nancy Todd, Nancy Barker, Betty Leadbetter, Peggy Smith, ]ean Hand, Jean Mills, Betty Dowdy, Althea Harris, Manager Charlotte Barker The middle of March in 1948 found twenty-five girls reporting for softball practice. During the several weeks of practice preceding the opening of the season, the .girls, preparing for a nine game schedule, worked hard at batting practice, fielding, infield and outfield practice, and scrimmages. The Henry Clay nine was downed only once when Glen Allen brought home twenty-one runs to our nine. There were no seniors on last spring’s team, and we hope to see our entire squad along with new members carry on with the same fine spirit and be even more successful than it was last spring.
