Senior' high future homemakers' club To fulfill the duties of a homemaker and to fulfill them well is what the Future Homemakers of America organization tries to teach its members. This is done through many activities, this year one of which was preparing Christmas favors for retarded children. The popularity of this club is so great that two chapters had to be organ- ized, a senior high group sponsored by Mrs. Drazenovich, and a junior high chapter led by Mrs. Stewart. Also, the membership had to be limited to those girls who are enrolled in a home economics class. junior high 109

maj orette club Every Monday during activity period, the old gym is crowded with anxious girls, devoting their time to learning the basics of becoming high-stepping major- ettes. Sponsored by Mrs. Brandt, the Majorette Club is open only to sophomore and junior girls. The seven majorettes take charge of the group, and begin to teach the prospective twirlers the elemental marching steps. When the majority have mastered the art of high kick- archery club A new club has been established at North Allegheny to promote one of the oldest of sports, arch- ery. Approximately fifteen girls belong to this group, which is sponsored by Mr. Gaisbauer. The many activity periods which they spent practicing were well rewarded at the Fall Outdoor In- terscholastic Archery Tourna- ment, which was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Division of Girls' and Women's Sports. In this statewide contest, Suzanne Alberts placed second and Vir- ginia Stein seventh. ing in step with fast-moving marches, they are divided into small groups, each headed by a majorette. From here, the girls are instructed in the routines. In order to be chosen a majorette, it is not a re- quirement that a girl be a member of the club. But the practice and help offered is so beneficial that few girls try out at the end of the year unless they have attended Majorette Club.
