Sec., Judy Currier SPONSOR Mrs. Dell In the fall the Kayettes had a recognition and installation service for the new members and officers. In December, we sponsored an assembly with Rev. Ross of Holton as speaker and with special music by Alice Dell and Rachel Ross. The shop boys made us a worship center with an open Bible upon it, to be used at each meet- ing. During January, we invited the Delia club to our meeting and party, and had a surprise birthday party for our president. Then we had a Heart-Beat letter and Valentine exchange. Later in the Spring we had a Mo- ther-Daughter Tea. We gave to CARE and to the March of Dimes, and bought six new books for the school library. We sold candy bars at noon and after school during the year; and by serving refreshments at the county tournament we cleared over fifty dollars. With part of our profits we paid for a new electric fryer. This year we hope to win our three thousand point award, and we plan to send two delegates to camp. ATHLETICS CHEERLEADERS: Anna Lou, Vida.
