Lamar is doing her part in supporting this program. Our physical educa- tion department encourages student participation in intramural sports, both haskethall and wrestling, as Well as in inter-scholastic sports. Our school co-operated with the physical fitness tests which were conducted in several schools in Indiana County. The cultural needs of our students are inet by the excellent instructions given in our music and art departments. Lainaris young musicians demon- strate their accoinplishinents at the annual music festival, and the art stu- dents display their achievements at an art show. Both departments gra- ciously contrihute their services to many school activities, curricular and extracurricular. ERKIA IOHN BETTY LEYVIS, B.S. KENNETH KONITSKY, KLA. KOTULA, B.S. hmm..

The Nurses, Club provides training for girls interested in the medical profession. The Future Nurses Club, sponsored by Mrs. Mary Stevens, did many interesting and educa- tional things during the past year. Each member was given the opportunity to assist Nlrs. Stevens in various schools in order to learn the correct methods for giving shots, eye examinations, and physical examinations. The girls also learned how to fill a hypodermic needle. The clubis chief project this year was the sale of Christmas candy, which proved to be a very successful venture. In mid-lime, the an- nual dinner for the seniors was held at the Holi- day House in Pittsburgh. The juniors received their Nurses, pins that night. OFFICERS President .,..,.. .... ...., , ..

Senior Band provides opportunity for students to express musical abilities. It is the aim of the Lamar marching and concert band, under the capable direction of Mr. Anthony Cotroneo, to instill good citizenship as well as musician- ship through the medium of music. The Wilclcat marching band concerned itself with a co-ordinated effort learning precision marching and entertaining the football spectators during halftime shows. This year the band was sparked by the addition of a high-strutting drum major, Sam Sasala, who became the first male drum major of the school. After the long trial of preparing weekly shows, the band undertook the role of concert band and prepared for its spring festival. Featured in this concert was the finc trumpet work of a dedicated senior, Ed D,AureliO.

The Future Farmers of America did much to improve the appear- ance of our school grounds. MOTTO The F .F.A. is an intra-curricular activity having its origin in a definite part of the school currieulum-vocational agricul- ture. Among other things, members learn through active partici- pation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public. to buy and sell cooperativelyg to solve their own problemsg to finance themselves, and to assume civic responsibility. The activities of the F.F.A. this year consisted of: selling Wreaths, seeds, and onions, attending the annual Farm Show and the County judging Contest, and cleaning the school grounds. 1'Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to scrvcv XVe hope it grows VVoodworking is one of our projects -x., siifvmiwf i M of M The Spanish Club has been or- ganized to help other students of Lamar become better acquainted with Mexican customs. This is its second year in existence and is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Simpson. La Fiesta Mexicana Was the main event sponsored by the Span- ish Club this year.

From the day of the first football game in September, until thc final game of the Indiana County Basketball Tournament, Lamaris cheerleaders Were the inspiration that led our schools teams on to many victories and instilled in the students a spirit that has been noticeably lacking for the past several years. The cheerleaders started practice early in August and conducted the yearis initial pep meeting the day of our Hrst football game. They held pep rallies bc- fore every football game, and, as shown by our teamis fine record, these meetings Wcrc great successes. Shortly after school began, the cheerleaders, under the di- rection of Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Shaifer, chose five new girls to join their ranks. These girls were picked according to their ability to lead cheers, scholastic ability, neatness in appearance, and personality.
