Scholar- ship, leadership, service, and character are the qualities a student must show to become a member. ln addition, all prospects must be approved by the faculty. The new members were officially recognized in an impressive formal initiation held this spring in the auditorium. The members elected Janie Stevens as presidentg Gene Caylor as vice-presidentg Mary Catherine Arnett as secretaryg and Jeannette Hahn as treasurer. Bertie Ruziclqa served as treasurer after Jeannette graduated in January. Sponsors who aided the group were Mrs. lsabelle Legg, M rs.

H Q TO BE OR NOT TO BE A communicable disease, club fever, swept KHS in 194-9 and l95O, resulting' in a great number of newly organized clubs, Our committee on committees was busy in the fall checking constitutions and providing meeting dates. lliloreover, they continued their work all year, setting dates for club meetings, approving eonstituions of new clubs, and checking membership lists of the clubs al- ready in existence. Student members are chosen by the student council at one of its meetings in the fall. The Organization lfloard is the most important factor in extra-curricular activities as it has original, exclusive, and final jurisdiction relative to whether or not a group becomes an active club.

PRACTICAL POLITICS The Purdue Legislature brought a new opportunity to the politicians of KHS. Modeled after the Indiana General Assembly, it consisted of boys and girls from the state high schools. Our delegates to the Legislature were elected by the Juniors and Senior classes last November under the di- rection of Miss Lilith Farlow. Ted Chandler received enough votes to become Senator, and Dean Grinstead, lilob Babb, Richard Lee, and Bill Elsea won seats in the House of Representatives. Their alternates were Stan Cripe, as Senator, and Jeannette Hahn, Ruth Lang, Dick Good, and Don Wyrick as Representatives. Attending sessions for two days, the group became further acquainted with the functions of our government. Their faculty advisor, Mr. Earl M. Utterback, gave them valuable pointers during the proceedings. Page 29
