The organization provides printed programs for the convenience of the fans and promotes attendance at away football and basketball games by sponsoring buses. The membership in Booster Club is held at the number 45. As seniors graduate, freshman students who have shown an active interest in school activities are picked by members of Booster Club to fill the places left by the grad- uates. This method of selecting membership is begun early in the freshman year with a get- acquainted party for all freshmen. 4 So that we may be better This year, as a special campaign, a goal, Two buses to Burris, was set up. The goal reached, two busloads of Viking boosters trav- eled to Muncie for the basketball game with the Burris Owls. The officers of the organization under the sponsorship of Mr. George W. Moreland were: Gene Hensel, President: Lee Baker, Vice-presi- dent; and Jack Flaugher, Secretary-treasurer. Row I: Mr. Dale Ware, Jean Car- roll, Jerry Holtrey, Norma Lock- hart, Mr. Glen Hummer. Row IL Bob Branyan, Sallie Crews, Marjoria Stickler, Ann Myers, Nancy Wees- ner, Carol Abbott. Row III: Polly Palmer, Glenna Carroll, Donna Daly, Donna Kastner, Janelle Burk- hart, Julie Sowerwine.

Row VI: Jerry Dol- by, Jeffery Hicks. One of the most interesting phases of stu- dent life at H. H. S. is the annual Biology Club initiation. Doing the war-dance of a Belgian tsetse fly, wearing an onion around his neck, or kneeling countless times to recite a bit of degrading i ngeniousness — this is the price a student wishing to enter Biology Club must pay. Of all the race of homo sapeins only those having taken Biology and passed with a B average are eligible for the club. Meetings un- der the direction of Mr. Glenn Hummer and Mr. Dale Ware were held the 3rd Thursday of every month at the school. Curiosity leads us on Special guests such as doctors, college pro- fessors, etc. were speakers for these meetings and spoke on particular phases of science. The high point of the year is the annual 2- day trip. This year the group went to Elkhart where they were conducted through Miles Lab- oratories then on to Chicago to view the cyclo- rama. Officers were: Jerry Holtrey, President; Nor- ma Lockhart, Vice-president; Jean Carroll, Secretary; and Joan Burkhart, Treasurer. 29

THESE STAND OUT The Rotary Club of Huntington selects a student from Huntington High, Huntington Catholic and Huntington College to attend its luncheon held Tuesday noon of each week. The object of Rotary is to stress the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular to foster and encourage the follow- ing: 1. High ethical standards in business and professions — recognizing the worthiness of all useful occupations and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society. Row I: Paul Stewart, Peter Strodel, Kent Owen, Gene Hensel, and Bill Coates. Row II: Hoyt Brown, Jerry Dolby, Jack Flaugher, and John Wygant. 2. The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life. 3. The advancement of international good- will through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service. The Junior Rotarians for the month of March were sent to Cincinnati to attend a symposium on world affairs. Students from Huntington High School who were Junior Rotarians for the school year 1955- 56 are: September, Paul Stewart; October, Kent Owen; November, John Wygant; December, Jerry Dolby; January, Hoyt Brown; February, Jack Flaugher; March, Peter Strodel; April, Bill Coates; and May, Gene Hensel. Row I: Neil Stonebraker, David Ar- lington, Harold Campbell, Arthur Stonebraker. Row II: Jack Flaugher, Robert Lohr, Stephen Olinger. Row III: David Casper, David Gerdes, Tom Wilbur. Competent Assistants Just as the head supervisor in a factory has foremen to supervise the workers, Mr. Burke, our shop instructor, uses capable assistants to help run the woodshop. For the purpose of helping to supervise the students, then, Mr. Burke appoints an experi- enced boy to act as foreman of the woodshop each month. Evidence of the skill and patient workman- ship is shown in the annual display of end- tables, desks, beds, etc., all made by these stu- dents. Each month the appointed foreman is given the title Foreman of the Month at a dirmer given by the Huntington Foremen ' s Club. The foremen this year were: Steve Olinger; Art Stonebraker, Robert Lohr, David Casper, Jack Flaugher, Neil Stonebraker, David Ger- des, Harold Campbell, and Kent Knight. 28

ONLY THREE WORRIES: BUDGET, COPY, AND We all like to receive our yearbooks at the end of the school year, and spend many hours pouring over them, However, not many of us realize the amount of time and effort the staff expends in the prepara- tion of the book. Combining their talents to produce the 1956 Modulus were co-editors Carol Abbott and Peter Strodel.They passed judgement on the work of all other members of the staff. Norma Lockhart, the business manager, spent her time keeping the books. It was up to Norma to bring us out in the black. The general management of the Modulus Review was entrusted to Nancy Weesner. She saw that every aspect of the Review was letter perfect. Mama Emley, as copy editor, was responsible for all copy going into the yearbook. She handed out as- signments to staff writers Jean Carroll, Mara Jane Carter, Janet Floyd, Jo Ann Kriegbaum, Saundra Lee, Cynthia McClure, Sara Miller, Karen Pratt, Lota Rose Slater, Sondra Terrell, Janet Veatch, Linda Ware, Edith Winterholter, Susanne Schilling, and Rosalind Howett. Dave Arlington capably performed his role as sports editor. Gathering material and writing sports copy, together with Jean Carroll and Karen Pratt, he was responsible for a large part of the book. Norma Geist had the trying job of composing the index. Much patience was a necessary requirement for this job. The circulation manager was Saralee Allen. She was assisted by Suzanne Moffit who will assume the role next year. They took subscriptions and saw that everyone who wanted a copy of the book got one — that is, if he had the money. The advertising staff was composed of Betty Ches- terman, Sharon Clements, Duane Kilty, Gvido Lem- ke, Sally Perrin, Waneta Pinkerton, and Marjoria Stickler. Efficiency in collecting ads was a necessity in helping to finance the yearbook. One of the most important parts of a yearbook, the photography, was taken care of by Melvin San- ders and Bob Kaltenmark. They took the pictures, developed them, and printed them. Sallie Crews, Clare Ann Schnitz, and Carol Win- ter were our typists. These girls prepared the copy to be sent to the printer. Mr. Moreland was again the capable advisor who encouraged the staff in their efforts to produce the best Modulus yet and to do so in the allotted time. Thanks to him, for we believe we have accomplished this task. We of the 1956 Modulus staff have endeavored to produce a yearbook which you will remember and keep always. We hope you like it.
