Through the Student Cooperative Association the students of James Monroe High are becoming better acquainted with the opportunities and duties of self-government. T he membership in this organiation is limted to no one; every student is a member. Their governing body, the Student Council, is made up of the club Presidents, Homeroom representatives, chairmen of council committees, and the Executive Council—President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Much progress has been made during the past year towards better coopera¬ tion among the students, faculty, school, and community. Thirty-Eight THESPIAN CLUB James Monroe students who show interest and ability in drama and public speaking are further assisted in their talent as they acquire membership in the National Dramatic Society, the Thespian Club. The local high school chapter was organzied several years ago. Seventeen new members were added this year to the high school roll of this club. The requirements for membership are based on a point system. For those who are planning to enter college drama and public speaking, the membership in the Thespian Society is very beneficial.

The Key Club, its membership based on character, achievement, and leadership, assists the outstanding young men of the school in being better leaders, students, and members of society. Forty SENIOR BETA CLUB “Ducamus alliis servicndo” (Let us lead by serving others), is the motto of the National and also the local Beta Club. A non-secret, achievement-service organiation for students of State-accredited high schools, this club promotes the ideals of honest, service, and leadership among the students in the Junior and Senior classes. The J. M. Beta Club holds as its standards for membership, not only a high scholastic average—90, but also a students character, achievement, and attitude. If any financial assistance is needed a Beta Club member can always rely on the National Scholarship Fund. At Desk: Bobby Lee Dent, President.

To promote scholarship, leadership, and honesty among the Freshmen and Sophomores, the Jr. Beta Club was organied by the Sr. Beta Club in 1945. Although the work of the junior club is not dependent upon the Sr. Beta Club, this club does uphold the same principals. Through the work of the Jr. Beta Club, the members are better prepared to enter the Sr. Beta Club.

Organized to encourage the literary ability of James Monroe students, the Literary Club provides the material for the school literary magazine, the “LIT.” The Literary Club is proud of this publication, usually issued annually, which has received credible acknowledgement from the State society. Whether a writer be a Lreshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior, this club gives a wonderful opportunity to J. M. students to have their literary works actually published. Forty-Four INDUSTRIAL ARTS NEWS The Industrial Arts News, the only paper of its kind in the State of Virginia, was established in February, 1944. It is published on the first day of every month during the school year by the Printing Department of the shop. All the mechanical processes, except the typesetting by Linotype at the Free Lance-Star, are done by the Jayem students. This publication is “an honest effort to present all aspects of journalistic work; to learn the editorial and mechanical make-up of newspaper, as well as to inform everyone of the happenings in the shops of the Fredericksburg City Schools.” First row , left to right : Charles Whitticar, Mr. Schwartz, Instructor; Perry Hol¬ comb, Editor; Robert Smith, Harry Fleming.

The shades of ancient Rome linger in the halls of J. M. when we find the Latin Club convening every month. Being that the majority of its members are engaged in their regular Latin Class at the fourth period, this is one of the school clubs that meets during school hours. It is interesting to see how this so- called “dead language is revived by the club members, as they participate in Latin jig-saw puzzles, the study of Roman history, and various Latin trans¬ lations. The Latin Club is composed of, not only first and second year Latin students, but also the “honorary members”—those pupils who have completed their two years of the “language that never dies.” Forty-Six FRENCH CLUB The French language, customs, life, and people are the topics that we would hear discussed at the meetings of the French club. To become a member of this club, it is required that the student be taking either his first or second year of French, or he may have completed two years. This is one of the oldest organizations in the school. Firstrow, left to right: Eleanor Rae Jones, Nancy Wright, Pauline Finns, Beryl Beck, Marian Gravatt. Second row.

Here at James Monroe the realms of science arc more clearly viewed through the work of the Senior Science Club. Organized at James Monroe in September, 1945, the Science Club has helped to increase the interest, knowledge, and appreciation of science among the J. M. students. Any high school student, who has taken, or is taking the second year of any science, is welcomed into the Science Club, providing he has ability and interest in science. Forty-Eight « JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB In November of the year 1948, the Junior Science Club was organized. Boys and girls in the eighth grade who have had, or are taking science, are eligible for membership. This club has several aims and purposes, which are: to increase the know¬ ledge of science, to learn to protect the skills in science, to understand the im¬ portance of science in everyday life, and to increase the interest of science in the school and community. The members of the Junior Science Club are usually accepted for entrance into the Sr. Science Club when they become Freshmen.
