All-Ctirl Cabinet Plans New Look for Latin Activities An all-girl cabinet headed by Ginger Mundy led Latin Clubbers to various activities. Club members enjoyed the usual affairs such as their annual Christ- mas party, banquet and trip to the Convention in Columbia. This year, these activities were a little different in some aspects. The annual Christmas party was called the Saturnalia, which is the Roman name for Christ- mas, and it took place December 14. Members who attended the banquet in April en- joyed a different type of entertainment than the usual slave auction. Latin students Ruthie Barnes and Lee Danser, in addition to other club members, presented a take-off on King Midas, the king whose touch turned every- thing to gold. Another skit presented by Joyce Mudd, Pam Fowler, and jackie Spurrier was a hilarious comparison to Laugh-ln. To round out the year, the club members journeyed to Columbia for their annual convention, where they elected state officers for next year. above: Ginger Mundy, Latin Club president, relaxes on the second floor window ledge with Karla Baker, treasurerg Dianne Davis, vice- president, and Kathleen Barnes, secretary. fright?

Future Teachers Create 'Neelocs' Their sale of Neelocs highlighted the year for the Future Teachers of America, sponsored by Miss Mary Elizabeth Baker. The Neelocs, designed by FTA mem- ber Colleen Funk, and made by other members, were sold to students for fifty cents each. Other main events of the year included initiation and induction of officers, the annual picnic, and the traditional apples for the teachers of MHS, both at the main building and the Technical School. The pic- nic, held May 13 at Lakeview Park, included about fifteen members and their guests. Officers for the year were Carol Dever, presi- dent, Nancy Allen, vice-president, Tyann Mundy, secretary, Mary Gerling, treasurer, and Anna Trotter, historian. FTA inducted 10 new members, bringing their total to 23.
