At Christmas time we had a party. The main event of the party was a play, La Mujer Gana'. Several weeks later we put on an assembly in school. Up to this time we have had a very successful year, and we know it will continue to be so. Zafme? The ten members of the F. F. A. under the leadership of Donald Cotton,presldent, and lr. Dean, advisor, have had a satis- factory year. We put on a very successful variety program as a school assembly. Some of the features were: barrel boxing, car- ried on by the Engelbert twinsg hog tying contest, chinese ping pong, and a colorful male beauty contest. There were two plays: 'Russian Draman and NThe Saga of Little Nell,' which brightened up our program. In Harch,the Nichols F.F.A. will be initiated into the Future Farmers by the Waverly F. .A.

Preshur, Mr. Waterman,Adv1sor Student Council is composed of two representatives from each class, and one from each club,to help with student government. The officers are: Arlene Thetga-president, Carolyn Bean-vice president, Liz Quick-secretary, Herb Barnum-treasurer, Connie Ben- nett-news reporter, and David Preshur-school chaplain. Mr. Waterman is our advisor. Nichols is a member of the Tri-County Student Counc1l.Its representatives for this year are: Arlene Thetga,who is vice president of Tri-County,Alden Tr1be,Carolyn Bean, and Liz Quick. The object of this organization is to create a better relationship a- mong the students of different schools. We have Joined in inter-school ping-pong and shuffleboard tournaments, one-act play programs, and music assemblies to further this aim, and Nichols has proved successful in all of these activities. Student Council, with the aid of local talent and Mrs. Qu1ck,presented a very suc- cessful talent show. The Administrative Committee, which is new this year, consists of four representatives to meet with Mr. Riegel and act as go-between for the faculty and pupils. We adopted a new budget plan, which worked very well this year.It is our hope that future classes will be able to earn most of their money in the early years of high school, thus keeping the burden of money-making from their senior year. S fp After school on Mondays the Scho- larship Club met in Miss Hsig's room, for discussions to give those who were planning to take scholarship exams a wider knowledge of such subJects as art, music, science, and English.
