The Home Economics Club Hilour Johnson T3 DEVELOP friendship and leadership and to carry out the ideals stressed in the home ec classes is the main purpose of I»aramie High's Home Eco- nomics Club. The “Home Eccrs” started the year by electing Hazel Haugum, president: Rosamond Logsdon, vice president; Catherine Dickey, secretary; and Mary Maxwell, treasurer. Enjoying the adventure of those who travel in trailers were the many who donned slacks, house dresses and all outdoor garbs at the Trailer Camp party s|x nsored by the Home Ec Club March 3. By transforming the gym into a forest, in which was parked a trailer house near a campfire, an outdoor atmosphere was created. For Thanksgiving they, with the help of the Fu- ture Farmers, furnished and distributed Thanks- giving baskets to eight different families. Third row: Alloc Allgeier. Stella Jodeke, Ruth Ann Johmou.

The machinery and its functions were explained by Mr. Carl Ebcrhart with the huge bread sheer being the most interesting. Another event was the ice skating party which was held at the municipal skating rink. During February the club earned some money by serving the Kiwanis Club a luncheon in the Home Ec rooms. A candy sale was then held April 19 for the pur- pose of raising money to help send the girls to Pine Bluffs to the District Rally there April 29. Ending the year’s activities approximately fif- teen girls motored to Pine Bluffs. The day’s pro- gram was comjK scd of group singing, round table discussions of home projects, a style show, a group picnic and rejiorts of the club’s various activities for the year. 2« ...Jo)

And the pilot evenly sets down the plane bringing back to Laramie High, the Busy Business Bodies, just in time for this dramatic production of the year. On every second Tuesday, the girls in the Com- mercial Club, hurried to the shorthand room, to take a flying trip into the business world. They learned that the three purposes of the club, which was started in October, 1938, are to advance commercial work, to promote loyalty to their school and to plan possible employment for the students. From these trips they heard reports on the Civil Service, discussions of freak letters and office calling demonstrations. Officers elected as assistants to their adviser, Miss Melton, were Fumiko Iwatsuki, president; Leola Hartman, vice president; Gloria Christensen, secre- tary; and June Moore, treasurer. All aboard! Next trip “Shorthand Efficiency.” This was gained by a sjielling match, an intelligence test and a brief form contest. While flying on the their merry way, the Busy- Business Bodies, one evening left behind a committee of Fumiko Iwatsuki, June Moore, Virginia Milton and Dorothy Larson, to build a Ferdinand float, which won honorable mention at the Pep Club Mardi Gras. Also, on one of their ventures, they stopped in Greeley, to leave three commercial contestants, I,ela Hahn, Leola Hartman and Mclva Nylander. As a finale to their year, the junior girls enter- tained the senior girls at a farewell trip and each guest partook of the dainty refreshments. And so their plane was grounded until next fall.
