When these students entered their sopho- more year, they began a new trend in their high school careers. lt was the first year they were permitted to join Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Twisters, GPH-l, and par- ticipate in senior high athletics.

Sponsors were Miss Boentje, Mrs. Romberg, Mrs. Wilkin- son, and Mr. Vanover. Sophomores took part in both vocal and instrumental music, including band, mixed chorus, girls' glee, boys' glee and small groups. One of the main highlights of the year was initiating the freshmen. Flrlene Troxel was the sophomore elected by the student body as cheerleader. 'AF' 'T iq ,V A Evert Sturgis, Willis Steele, and Bill Norris are ordering refreshments for a class party.

Page 32 The Student Plctivities Board, com- posed of all class and club presidents, met two Thursdays a month. One of the newest organizations in the school, this board strove to co- ordinate all the activities of the school. Whenever anything was planned, the date was first okayed by them. This prevented more than one thing being scheduled at one time. The board also limited the number of offices a person could hold, and the number of clubs in which he could participate. Members of the board made a cal- endar for each month, on which all ac- tivities Were scheduled by the board. The calendars were posted on the bulletin board in the front hall. This year, the officers of the Student I-lctivities Board were chairman, lerry Morris, vice-chairman, Bill Larsong and secretary, Karen Shaffer. Sponsors of the board this year were Miss Tonjes, Miss Rehder, Miss Boentie, and Mr. Bachmann.

The society was led by President Larry Hoback, Vice-president Barbara Viren, Secre- tary-treasurer Helen Walkington, and Student Council Representative Steve Schroeder. Miss Delores Sjogren was the Thespian sponsor. One initiation was held each semes- ter, when new members were taken into the society. Something new was carried out in the December one-act plays. Each high school class presented one play, with the Seniors presenting, The Run- ning Tide g the Iuniors, I'm a Pool , the Sophomores, Couldn't I Kiss You Goodnight? g and the F r e s h m e n 'Swept Clean Off Her Feet. Through those plays, interest in dramatics was aroused and experience was gained by members of each class. The spring one-acts were contest plays. Two comedies, Mrs O'Leary's Cow and Sparkin' and Last Flight Over, a drama, were the plays given. The Thespians' main project for this year was to buy new indoor and out- door scenery for the school. They also went as a group to see a college play. Connie Linquist, Gari Hathaway, Connie Peiper, Dean Humphries, Margot Brown, Karen Shatter, and Bob Luke rehearse their lines for the one-act play Mrs. O'Leary's Cow . This is Crying in the Chapel '?

Kansas City has been convention host to the Future Farmers every year since their first national meeting in 1928. The first national meeting in 1928, was at- tended by only about 35 boysg in the F.F.A. Band and Chorus, alone, six times that number participated this year in the national organi- zation for farm students of vocational agricul- ture in the rural public high schools. There are approximately 8,500 local chapters. The F.F.A. constitution, patterned largely after that of the Future Farmers of Virginia, was adopted by the 35 vocational agriculture stu- dents at the first national meeting. By the fall of 1929, 35 state associations had become affili- ated and the organization had 30,000 members. Membership now totals more than 350,000, with all 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico repre- sented. In 1944, a separate organization, known as the Future Farmers of America Foundation, Inc., was established to provide a comprehen- sive national award program for F.F.A. mem- bers.

Their officers were: president, Karen Shafferg vice-presi- dent, Lo Anne Richards, secretary, Yvonne Schlachterg treasurer, Barbara Barnesp Stue dent Council representative, Barbara Viren. Helen Barnette was head cheerleader. The other cheerleaders were: lanet Dahlgren, Sidney Schroeder, Zelia Peck, and Arlene Troxel. To help cheer the championship football team and the basketball team on to victory, pep rallies were sponsored by the club. Members of the club Wrapped the banisters, hung signs around the school, and painted the windows and hung signs downtown. At each home football game, the pep club girls formed a spirit line. A horseshoe was used at the end of the spirit line, to wish the fellows good luck. For the McCook game, the Wishbone theme was carried out. Twister officers Yvonne Schlachter, Loflnne Biche ards, Karen Shaffer, Helen Barnette, and Barbara Barnes discuss new business for a meeting. This is one of the many signs made and posted by the pep club girls to arouse school spirit. l Hrlene Troxel, Sidney Schroeder, Helen Barnette, Ianet Dahlgren, and Zelia Peck lead the yells dur- ing a pep rally. The horseshoe made by the Twisters proved to be good luck for the football boys. This year, the Twisters sponsored all the mixers. They also passed out programs at the games, and had concessions at the Curtis game. The highlight of the Twisters' year was the Athletic Banquet, given by the pep club for all the athletes of the high school. At that time, the coaches presented awards to the lettermen. Those girls Who had earned the most merits through the Twisters' merit sys- tem received awards for outstanding work done. In the first week ot May, the new officers of the club were installed.

QI'I,l.OI' The play, Rest Assured, was presented by the senior class on April 2, under the direction of Mrs. Ianis Iones and student director Helen Barnette. In the play, Mr. Morlock, Steve Schroeder, the grouchy father of twenty year old Mary, Barbara Viren, thinks of nothing but money, and refuses to allow Mary to marry Ioe Lan- coni, because Ioe's papa, Larry Hoback is poor. Mr. Morlock says if Mary and Ioe ever marry, it will be over his dead body. But Mr. Lanconi, Ioe's father, declares if they don't marry it will be over his dead body. Mr. Mor- CZSS lock dreams Mr. Lanconi dies and comes back to haunt him, until he gives in to the marriage. He also dreams he dies and is not even missed by his family. He realizes his mistakes, and awakes, a changed man. He okays the wed- ding, and peace finally reigns at the Morlock home.
