The Warriors' Tale Below—Students Visit Faribault Below—Andrs, Kaugcto Enjoy the Joke Warriors’ Tale Ctaff; Editors Junior Rotarlans 4-Bit class was active The class of Four Bits really, lives up to the saying that 1950 is the turning point of the century because they turned with it. Their extra-curricuuar activities have turned for the best just as we hope 1950 will. The Student Council again sponsored a wonderful year of programs, both entertaining and educational. The Junior Red Cross, which took over the French School a year ago, supported it with a large donation of both money and clothing. The Red Cross had its annual membership drive and talent show. The National Athletic Society, National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll are the exclusive organizations of the school. They are the group to which every, student has dreams of belonging, because they are honor award groups. The Hi-Y and the Tri-Y each presented an outstanding senior with a $100 scholarship. The two’ organizations functioned well under their new advisers of a year ago. The Pep Club, with Char Moore as its guiding light, led a very active year. Both homecoming celebrations were done exceptionally well. The H Club and the Pep Club co-operated splendidly in selling refreshments at the games. This year the G.A.A. put on a program for the students, which included tumbling and badminton exhibitions. The G.A.A., under the supervision of Miss Brainard, held play days —26—

This is proven by this year's mixed chorus, consisting of 55 members. Their skillful pianist is Lois Carlson. They meet five times a week and mix hard work and fun to bring about the desired results. Their annual Christmas concert was given on Dec. 21. They gove a program of varied numbers—Christmas music ranging from classics to the familiar carols. A group from the chorus added its bit at the dedication of the new Curren School cn Feb. 14. Cur chorus participated in the district festival held at Mound on March 30. Girls’ sextet—pulchritudinous, melodious The beautiful, formal spring concert was held on May. 19. They featured a sacred group of numbers and a group of numbers from the current Broadway hit South Pacific. The chorus includes two ensemble groups, the girls sextet and the boys octet. They have appeared on progroms with the chorus and also independently, and they do very well. Music by the chorus at baccalaureate and graduation scrv ces always adds greatly to their meaning. Boys’ octet—personable, popular —25—

The yearbook continued as the Warrior's Tale. Awards were won by both publications. The debate teams, while concerned with winning debates, do not consider winning their pr mary objective. Debate is only a means that the student uses in improving speech. The Dramatic Club spent an active year presenting several plays and learning the ba 'C requ rements of an actor or actress. Members of the Dramatic and Debate Clubs represented the school in the interschclastic. speech contests. Mr. Caru-son is the new faculty adviser for dramat es and debate. Along this same line the Speech Club under the direction of Miss Macemon was on active group in school act vi ties. The Service Club girls also helped in the turning point with the work they have done helping the teachers in the lunchrooms. An agricultural club for the boys is the Future Farmers of America with Mr. Firm-age as its adviser. In participation in these activities, students f nd it equally important to get along with others as compared to the importance of the formal curricular education. Above—Cheerleaders Schutz. Moore.
