The M-Club, which is composed of twenty-four letterinen, began the year very well when it spon- sored a car wash which showed a profit of $45. To gain membership into M-Club, an athlete must letter in football, basketball, or track. To receive a letter in football, one must play nine quarters of A-Team competition. A letter in basketball is obtained by participation in var- sity ball. To qualify for a letter in track one must earn a sum of nine points in competitive meets during the season. M-Club members may be designated by their minature M-shaped pin worn in the school color of royal purple. One of the most recognized organizational projects in the school is the financing and up- keep of the pop machine which has been the under- taking of the M-Club for many years. Every student appreciated the club's work during the ten-minute coke break each day at 10:24.

The Kansas Association for Youth is a state organization for junior and senior high school students of Kansas. Some of its chief values are its policy of group services for common goals, and it offers opportunities for the development of fol- lowers as well as leaders. The objective of a Kayette is to become worthy of the democratic traditions of our country. The Kayette strives to fulfill the six object- ives of her organization; religion, per- sonality, leadership, service, apprecia- tion and recreation. The Kayette organi- zation was founded twenty-one years ago. The Kayettes have been working for their 3,000 point award. To open the year they made welcome signs and first-aid kits for the teachers. For school service, they UNIT CONFERENCE PUNCH TABLE Kayettes earn dusted the bleachers before every football game and made monthly calendars. They also hung streamers on the goalposts. On Octo- ber 18, the Kayettes honored their fathers with a Father-Daughter Banquet, the theme of which was The Roaring Twenties. At Christmas time, the club served cookies and punch to the student body. The Board and Club also celebrated with parties. In February, the Kayette Conference was the important event of the year. Five schools attended and discussed the activi- ties of their different organizations. The spring activities included a bazaar for a money-making project, and helping with the heart drive for world service. For a safe- ty project and school service, we put re- flector tape on grade school bicycles. FFA SERVED KAYETTE BANQUET
