The students seemed to keep busy throughout the year. If not participating in clubs, then by working for teachers. Three groups of students assisted the faculty in their never ending jobs such as typing, correcting homework and tests, and sometimes helping other students to do bet- ter work. Student Secretaries were an important part of the school scene at N.B.H. throughout the year. They assisted by doing many tasks teachers would not have had time to do themselves. The Cadet Teochers consisted of 18 students, 17 of whom were female. These students per- formed services for the teachers of the Middle and the Elementary schools. Their jobs Were very similar to those of the student secretaries at the high school. If ever you wondered why the library was always so neat and tidy, it was principally because of the students working there — Library Aids. These people hod a busy schedule checking out books, chasing down overdue books, plus the many other duties assigned to them. When asked how they had helped throughout the year, the librarian. Miss Brainard replied, “Most of the Library Aids have been very helpful, especially in typing cards ond business letters. 22

Getting involved was what the FHA and FFA clubs were all about this year. Sales of donuts, cookbooks, Tupperware, carmel apples, lovenot bracelets, along with occasional bake sales supplied the FHA with needed funds. The year was filled with more than fund raising projects. The club sponsored a lot of FUN activities, too. December Christmas shopping, a swimming party at the YWCA, and attending movies were a port of the activities the girls enjoyed throughout the year. Presented by the FHA girls was a crazy legs dance and a contest in which Mr. Krepps was voted to hove the craziest legs. The girls attended a State Convention at Western Michigan University, and participated in Regional meetings in Flint. The biggest event, a trip to Cedar Point, brought a very busy club to a close for the year. The guys were kept just as busy as the girls in the FFA. The FFA entered 6 of the 12 Ag skills contests at State Competition in East Lans- ing, sold firewood, and was honored by Paul Knox, who earned the title of State Farmer. A trip was taken by the club to MSU for Farmer's Week, and Canada's Alquanquin National park welcomed the men for a week's vacation during the sum- mer. The local FFA also captured the FFA District Basketball Championship. 24
