B An activity in Ilion High's galaxy of clubs is the Latin Club, S.P.Q.R. fthe Senate and the Ro- man Peoplel, sponsored by Miss Clare Wasmer. The club started off the year by holding an initiation meeting, with the Latin III class initiat- ing new members and talking about duties of var- ious officers. At Christmastime, the Latin III class put on the Saturnalia,' or Roman Christmas party. Many interesting meetings were held in 1953, and a successful dance was held. DEBATE IILUB After many years of absence, llion has seen the return of a Debate Club. The school had a Das- son Club under the direction of Mr. Sisson, later of Mrs. Harold Day. Miss Ruth Gordon organized another club in the 1953 term, after 28 students attended debates at Hamilton College. Debates at Norwich, Albany, area discussions and a dinner meeting were scheduled. As members of the National Forensic League, members of the club resolved, That NATO countries should form a federal union. 2 Seated, Left to Right: P. Thomes, J. Baker, N. Dena- pole, Miss Cordon, S.

Under the supervision of Miss Carol Heady. new Home Economics Teacher, an active Future Homemalcers of America Club was organized last fall in IHS. The following officers were elected: Janice But- terworth, President, Lucille Joy, Vice-President, Barbara Kennell, Secretary, Mary Ellen Roberts, Treasurer, Dawn Darling, Publicity Chairman, and Shirley Mills, Historian. A Junior High FHA was organized for girls in the seventh and eighth grades. Although these girls carry on their own activities, both groups use the same treasury. FHA projects are divided into four categories: money making, service to the community, recre- ation, and education. A Hobo Day , three brownie sales, and a pop- corn sale were the projects held to increase the group treasury. At Christmastime, patients at Ilion Hospital were cheered up by the caroling of a group of FHA girls and by FHA scrapbooks. The Miss March of Dimes contest was under the sponsor- ship of the Homemakers. Their baby-sitting clinic will also be of much service to our community. For recreational projects two sleighrides and a kitchen date party were held. Educational projects consisted of a tour of Utica industries and a Career Day with participants from various fields of home economics. Seated: B. Hool, J. Loomis, R. Edgar, J. Allen, J.
