Trees were planted around the entire campus and by the members throughout the year. The club also donated its time to the planting at the new Foster A. Begg school.

Front row- Louis Broussard, Donna Bright, Sharon Lindsay, Nancy Lomax For the past year the Artisans have been under the sponsorship of Nlr. Jancar with Claudia Archuletta as their president. Nancy Lomax and Nora Del Henrie served as vice president and treasurer respectively, while Sandra Shafer and Barbara Clement were elected as secretary and historian. Their most outstanding event consisted of an art contest and art exhibit, All students were invited to partici- pate and cash prizes were awarded. The winners at the school were sent to the Art Show at Bullocks in downtown Los Angeles. The group as a whole made the trip to view the event and were happy to see that some of IVlira Ccsta's students had taken honorable mention. The club planned to sponsor the Beaux-Art Ball but, because of a crowded calendar of events, had to postpone their plans until next year. lt is planned to make this Ball one of the most unique affairs of '55. The Future Business Leaders of America on campus have found that observing business practices in action is not only entertaining, but also very educational. Feeling that textbook knowledge was not enough, this club took a trip to Nletlock's Manufacturing Company to acquaint themselves with the making, selling, and distribution of pottery. The club also enjoyed its trip to the Ice Capades which was a relief after having worked very hard on such school functions as the Varsity Show, Football Banquet, and the Father-Son Banquet. Officers responsible for guiding this club through a successful year were Judy Lick, President: Beverly Warren, Vice President, Kathy iviuwder, secretary-Treasurer, Susan Belk, Corresponding Secretary: and Nlr.
