Carlita Stone FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA SNIPPY the Snail, a new edition to our student body of fish and mammals, helped form the MHS Chapter of Future Homemakers of America. This organiza- tion is open to any girl who has an inter- est in homemaking and who has had at least one year of home-ec. Snippy and the faculty advisor, Mrs. Tobey, managed to stir up much interest among the girls and at one of the first meetings the fol- lowing officers were elected: Barbara Senter, president; Luisa Monte, vice- president; Conchita Gomez, treasurer; Corinne Kelley, historian; and Sally Chase, secretary. At a very impressive ceremony, the officers of the Spaulding chapter installed the MHS officers. The purpose of FHA is to promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking and to develop creative leadership in home and community life. Since December the members have had several good speakers who have talked on Civil Defense and also on juvenile delinquency. At the last meet- ing of the year a mother and daughter banquet was held. Snippy is very pleased with the achievements of the first year of this organization; already he is looking for- ward to next year which will be even more active for this group. [ SIXTY-NINE J

Sally Chase MHS FORENSIC SOCIETY LIZZIE the Lobster, while strolling around the halls one day, heard loud noises coming from Room 23. Crawling in, she came upon the MHS Forensic Society enthusiastically practicing de- bates and speeches for a coming tourna- ment. President Bob Nims and vice- president Bill Edwards were at the front of the room rehearsing speeches, while the others were debating the pros and cons of the Brannon Plan. In a calm and collected manner, Miss Murray was giving constructive advice to one and all. After asking Miss Murray to tell her about debating, Lizzie learned that this year the MHS Forensic Society had really been going places in State debating circles. Bruce Richardson held the purse strings as treasurer, and Linda Mereness fulfilled the secretary’s duties. Lizzie also learned about both the team and the individual honors and awards this group has brought back to MHS. Their team placed third in the State Debate Tournament and second in their own Invitation Tournament. Bill Edwards was judged best speaker for MHS. At Brad- ford Don Adams won first place for extemporaneous speaking, and Bill Ed- wards first place for oratory. Linda Mereness and Bob Nims tied for second place in extemporaneous speaking at the MHS Tournament. Both Don and Bill are entering the national Alexander Hamilton Contest on the state level this year. Lizzie wished she could have gone on their trips to Randolph, Burlington and Bradford High Schools and to Dartmouth College and University of Vermont. She is convinced they are a hard-working crew—they even wash cars to finance their ventures. fSIXTY-EIGHT]

Daniels MASQUE STELLA the Starfish, who is interested in dramatics, decided to look into Montpelier High School’s dramatic club, the Masque. She found out that this year Masque is made up of approximately 100 members headed by Brent Webster, president; Bonnie Holden, vice-president; Elsa Chapin, treasurer; Sally Pierce, secretary; and Meme Hill, business mana- ger. This year Masque has been under the guidance of Miss Beals, who has been responsible for many successful and unique ideas. This year’s activities have included a Variety Show held in the fall; Smoky Mountain, an operetta done in collabora- tion with the Choruses; “Sorry, Wrong Number”, a one-act play; The Curious Savage, the three-act play; as well as several workshop productions. Stella, a first-nighter, thought all of them were well directed and presented. In addition to this, the District and State Finals for the State One-Act Play Contest were held here in the Smiley Memorial Auditorium. Members of the Masque prepared and served supper to those participating, and also acted as guides to show the partici- pants around our school. As the RECORD was going to press, Stella was hoping to be invited to the annual Masque banquet to top off a very successful year. iSEVENTY]
