But they found that all the work for those good grades was worth it. Almost all the students that rode on the Beta Club float, which won first prize in American Education Week Parade, were new members. Also the HHarvest Balln we gave to entertain and to welcome our new members was something extra special. All those girls and boys roaming the halls selling pencils were gathering money for the Beta Clubls projects. VVe collected money for the lVlarch of Dimes, too. Our poster contest really helped promote school spirit. VVe had some excellent entries. Then we will not forget our garden plot on the campus in which we planted chrysanthemums for the school's decora- tion. At Christmas time we gave a whole ton of coal to a needy family as a Christmas present. Another activity was the coaching, by some of our smart group, of students who were close to failing subjects. In this way we achieved a goal of higher grades for the school as a whole. New officers were chosen at the end of the year in time for them to attend the Beta Club convention. 1 'HL Officers of Beta Club plan a future program.

Golly, I'ni glad Student Council's project for honor study hall has been such a big success. VVe used to have the hardest time getting all our club work done after school. Now we can do these activities in our study hall just as long as we don't break the honor pledge we signed. The accomplishments and activities of Student Council have been many this year. Our investigations of school clubs to evaluate each club and determine which ones deserve to be recognized as school clubs next year really did help the organizations realize their responsibilities. Our annual College Day for seniors, with rep- resentatives froin 16 colleges and universities, who lectured and answered questions for the seniors, was a big help. When we and some Key club members painted the white line down our hall, it called the students' attention to the side on which they were to walk and a separate section of chairs in chapel gave seniors a special privilege. Several new groups petitioned to become school clubs and after going over their constitutions it was our job to decide whether they should be recognized. Discussing qualifications for class officers are Nancy Ballenger, Bob Taylor. Charles Nunn. Ann Whitmire. Betty Hamilton, Martha Hartness. Joyce Clackum. Katrina Ford, Pat Myers, Patricia Pratt, Dardenella Reece. Bill Bowers. Ed Mix, Bruce Cone. Jimmy Howard. Tommy Pettett. Ken Turner. Martin Teem. Morgan Bagwell. Gene Phillips. and Gary Tucker.

This year for the first time we supported the printing of the state Key Club paper, The Key Ringf, We sent a delegate to the International Key Club Convention at Los Angeles, too.
