dial? fills lc X ,O Q' AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS - 71.5 'fir ,-:M 1 ofa? , 5:13 X1 I President, Claude Lynch Vice-President, Samuel Cowell Treasurer-Robert Ti lghmorm Advisor, Mrs. Betty Bennett The increasing use of Audio-Visual Aids in the high school program is bringing home to many schools the realization of a need for a trained corps of operators to care for and run the audio-visual equipment of the school. The service of this group in the last eleven years has been efficient and cheerful. The group has made a very real contribution to the spirit and traditions that make up Pemberton High. There are three divisions of the A.V.A -the novice, who is a learner or an apprentice. His training period is one year. The novice must pass a written and practical test in the operation of the machines, after which he becomes a second class operator. The second class operator, after the show- ing of 25 films, and passing a test, becomes a first class operator. Through the generosity of the Board in increasing the allotment, the Corps has been able this year to expand its service and its usefulness. A new projector has been received which will be a great asset to the successful showing of class room films. During this year, the activities of the club were: using P. A. System and Pick-up, directing Slide Machine and setting up for Radio Programs, Classroom movies, and loaning and operating equip- ment for outside school or community groups. 37

LES PETITS PAS p RIM I- 9 Wg Q Ei' I 'Elf L Advisor-Miss Edith Burr Les Petits Pas includes all present and former members of the French classes now in high school. The Christmas party was traditional with its carols, midnight supper, and folk-dances. The following program was a travel film showing pictures of rural France, and Mrs. Bennettls very inter- esting talk on Mount St. Mitchel and Rome illustrated by photographs that she had taken on her last visit there. The next guest speaker was a graduate of this high school who had spent several vacations in France, and Whose last experience there was during the winter campaign of 1944-45. We were given some picturesque details and eloquent French from Captain Theodore Shaw. The spring brought a series of dramatic sketches, an outdoor picnic or treasure hunt, and a contribution to relief work in France in cooperation with the Service Club. Live la Re'publique IV! 36

F. A., is made up of high school undergraduates in the agricultural course. A large majority of the high schools offering an agricultural course, have a local chapter of the F. F. A. which carries on its work according to the national plan, but which also is encouraged to fit its program into the life and agriculture of the area. The chief aim of the F. F.A. is to develop the interest of members along lines of better management, co-operation and better living from agriculture. Activities on a county Wide basis were planned for this season. In ad- dition, the F. F. A. sponsored apple packing and egg grading contests and other competitions on a state basis. The Burlington County F. F, A. Basketball League was composed of five teams this year, Pemberton did not have a highly successful season but did win over its old rival, Mt. Holly. 38
