Is this all right for the program tonight? What shall we have for refreshments? Has anybody S9911 my candle for the opening .n ceremony i Ahhh-from tl1e sound of things the monthly meeting of the Alpha Alpha Gamma QHOmemaking Club to youj is about to begin. It is the local l1I'3l1C'l1 of a club which extends throughout the entire country and to which thousands of girls belong. The Morris chapter of this national Homemaking Club meets once each month. The large membership makes these meetings fun for everyone. Each month new committees plan a special program, games, and refreshments. Every year two girls are elected to go to East Bay Camp. Girls from every Home Economics Club in the state attend the camp for several days in August. The next year the girls report on their trip and the things they learned while there. This year's delegates are Eunice Ness and lla Ryder. One ot' tl1e outstanding events of the Club's year was the supper party at which the mothers of the members were guests. Another, as we are sure any of the girls will tell 'you, was the party for the F.F.A. boys which was held in December. Just before Christmas a caroling party was held after the regular meeting. These are annual events 011 the Club 's calendar and are looked forward to by all. Each year the Homeniaking girls prepare and serve the banquet for the F.F.A. boys and their parents. Although this is not a Club activity many of the A.A.G. girls participate.

Debordrex The main purpose of this club is to further public speaking. This is accomplished through Plll'll1C and elub appearances. At the beginning of the year, tryouts were held and eight new 1nen1- bers were taken into the club. . This elub is divided i11to two teams, the '4Hams and the -letfsf' At each meeting points are awarded for debates. both serious and humorous, orations, prepared speeches, or ouizzes. The team that has the most points at the end of the semester, is given a star which is placed on the pennant that hangs in the Study Hall. The Hams have wo11 both stars this year. The Debordrex Society presented a program for the assembly consist- ing of short skits, readings, and poetry. Every year the club has at least one party. This year a Christmas party was held at the December meeting. At this time, complete recordings ot the Christmas Carol, were played: these were furnished by Mr. Hilton. After this, members of the club characterized members of the cast of tl1e i't.'hristmas Carol. The officers tor the first semester were Jack McKee, Pat Baker. Betty Thompson, and Cylinda Cryder who served as President. Vice-President. Secretary-Treasurer. and Sergeant-at-Arms. LaVerne Rosenmiller, June Allan, Belva Goode, and Marilyn Peterson filled these otiices the second semester.

These and many other similar exclama- tions might have been heard as busy members of the Dramatic Flub put last minute touches on their annual all-sehool play, Best Foot Forward. The club was responsible for numerous entertaining plays. skits, and readings given tor P.-T.A.. NVomen's clubs, church functions. and other or- ganizations. Of course the club frequently took part in general assemblies. A novel Christmas play entitled Prom Dress was presented to the school and several organizations. Mrs. Petersen, the dramaties direetor, is to be commended on her pa- tient and expert guidance.
