Any home economics student may become a member of the Club and any former home economics student or any girl in school may be regarded for membership if her name is presented by an active member. Meetings are held bi-monthly at which time books are reviewed, activities planned, and a lunch served. The girls have done a great deal of renovation of clothing for the needy, in keeping with their philanthropic aims. Noon-time popcorn and taffy-apple sales, public bake sales,and Christmas candy making are some of the schemes which the committees have employed to finance their activities and buy needed things for their department. Once a month a party is given for all girls whose birthdays are within that period. The leading social event given by the Club was the Valentine Masquerade Party-a gala occasion for the entire student body. The Club also gave a banquet for the Basket-Ball team and the men members of the faculty. The Style Show and Tea were held in May. - 20

BOYS' BASKETBALL E 2 22 2; yo 2 1mm 2NTEEQfI 2 242mm First Row: Elmer Kenitz, Dan McNamara, Jack Robinson, Leon Wall, Robert Farrell, Ingwald Wegenke, Clayton Tobin, Bruce Wetlaufer. Second Row: Mr. Meinert, Coach, James Buchen, John Buchen, John Draeger, Donald Bornick, Robert Tagatz, Manager. Twenty-six enthusiastic boys answered Coach Meinert's call to practice at the beginning of this season of thrilling basket- ball. All five first-string men of the previous year's team had been lost through graduation. Due to the boy's lack of experience, it was difficult to build up a strong offensive team, such as Montello has usually been able to support. Although Coach Meinert's cagers did not rank high in the 7-0 Conference, 3 strong defensive type of play was developed, which proved hard to break by many of the stronger opposing teams. Port Edwards, Westfield, Adams-Friendship, Wautoma, Plainfield, and Montello compose the Western 7-C League. Of the fifteen games played during the season, thirty-three per cent were won by Montello. At the end of the regular season the team was invited to the District Class-C Tournament, held at Markesan on March 1-4. Unfortunately, Montello was drawn to play Westfield twinner of the 7-0 Championshipl for their first game. Although the boys lost by a score of 24-13, the game was exciting, and the following night they defeated Harkesan by a 43-21 score. Farrell, Kenitz, McNamara, Wall, Wegenke, and Wetlaufer will graduate this year. The two Buchens, Robinson, Draeger, Bor- nick, and Tobin will be excellent material for next year's squad which will have the distinction of being the first of Honteilo High School's basketball teams to perform in a gym- nasium of their own. Something must also be said of Montello's baseball team. Last year the boys were defeated by Wautoma, 3-4, but won against Oxford,12-8. Five baseball games were played this year, and a track meet was held in the spring on the new field. 19

Adviser The Agricultural Department at Montello High has a present en- rollment of thirty-five boys. It is under the leadership of a Smith.Hughes instructor, which makes it possible for all-year projects to be carried on. The work is vocational in nature and highly practical. In 1935 a charter, authorizing the local Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, was granted to twelve boys. The organiza- tion has grown in size and popularity, until this year seven- teen boys comprise its membership. The yearly program of the organization is subject to the desires of the boys. Some of the usual activities are: rep- resentation by at least one team at the State Judging Contest, a display of members' work in a booth at the State and County Fairs, reforestration of a twenty-acre plot, and providing for group entertainment and education. Membership in a Chapter of the F.F.A. is restricted to members of classes in agriculture. The Club has four degrees or ranks. It is possible to gain the higher degrees by a combination of satisfactory classroom and project work. The Club motto is: 'Learning to do, Doing to learn; Earning to live, Living to servedl
