KLINE AND BUZZARD GUIDE SCHOOL ' S LARGEST CLUB Dreams do come true. This was the theme of District 2 Convention when the Sunshine Society celebrated its Ruby Anniversary of forty years. Ida Armone, a young woman from India and a student at Goshen College, spoke on the theme Knowledge Is Power. The climax of the day was a tea at which all delegates and past officers were honored guests. Mrs. Floyd Lofland Sr., first president, and Susanne Schilling, present president of Sunshine, cut the cake. Meiny alumnae and past officers attended with their daughters. The spirit euid traditions of Sunshine continue over the years. To become a Sunshine Officer or a committee chairman is a coveted honor. This year our president had as her cabinet, Jane Guhl, Vice-president; Ann Myers, Treasurer; Jean Ann Coates, Recording Secretary; and Suzanne Chalfant, Corresponding Secretary, with Miss Alice Kline as sponsor. In September an impressive candlelight initiation service was conducted by these officers. Many mothers shared in this experience and attended the tea given in their honor afterwards. Sunshine Easter services have been conducted by the Sunshine Officers in co-opera- tion with the Hi-Y officers and the Ministerial Association for the past 30 years. The services are held in the High School auditorium with music by the high school choir. The Gales committee continues to keep up the twenty-five year tradition of the Easter egg bonnet sale. A total of $136 from this and the Holy Week free will offering was sent to the Riley Hospital Fund and Nurses Scholarship. One girl from each district receives a cash scholarship of $400. Norma Lockhart and Julie Sowerwine are co-chair- men. Mrs. C. O. Porter is sponsor of Mary White Guild with Mary Jo Poehler as chair- man. For years this committee has had charge of Holy Week services and May Baskets for faculty and shut-ins. The Craft Committee meets for sociability and to learn handicrafts. Mrs. Wayne Miller is the sponsor, with Marty Lendin, our Swedish Exchange student, as chairman. The Social Service Sunbeams spread sunshine with parties at the county farm and baskets to needy famiUes. Miss Edith Hanson is the sponsor, and Rosalyn Wiley is chairman. Jo Ann Kriegbaum and Janet Rice assigned the Big and Little Sister £ind super- vised Greenie day. M. M. S. sponsors the informal Halloween Dance, the formal Sweetheart Dance, Peanut Week, and the style show concluding Peanut Week. Nancy Weesner and Linda Ware, with the kind interest and business supervision of Mr. Lowell Buzzard, led this group through a successful year.

BI-LINGUAL GROUP ' S AIM IS PROFICIENCY Parlez-vous francais? That ' s what you hear a lot of in French Club. The meetings this year were held on the first Wednesday of every month, with Mrs. Bernice Hillegas, French teacher and sponsor of French Club, on hand to answer questions and sternly reprimand students for speaking that foreign language — English. As officers the members elected Saralee Allen, Pres- ident; Gene Hensel, Vice-president; Joyce Lockhart, Secretary; and Dick Chalfant, Treasurer. The main requisite for gaining mem- bership in French Club is being able to speak French — naturally. Students must have had two years of French or must be in the process of taking 2nd year French. The purpose of the Club is to give the students that are able to speak French a chance to speak freely together and also to encourage the study of foreign lan- guages.

PEDIGOGUES OF THE FUTURE Although regular meetings were not held by the Future Teachers of America, the purpose of the organization — to be- come acquainted with modern teaching methods — has been actively carried out. The members this year were Donna Smith, Eleanor Winkelman, Dorothy Wendel, Dona Gemmer, David Gerdes, and Roland Smith. Answering their many questions about the teaching profession and advising them was their sponsor, Miss Florence Weiford. Each of the members has observed classes at an elementary school and as- sisted the teacher in teaching these classes. Donna Smith helped in the sec- ond grade at Central School, and Roland Smith and Eleanor Winkleman observed classes at Central. Roland assisted the fifth grade arithmetic class, while Elea- nor observed the teaching methods of the sixth grade English teacher. All of the members agreed that their experi- ences gained while assisting the classes have been very valuable in helping them to learn more about the profession which they intend to make their life ' s work. 23
