USTRIAL ARTS SER VICE GR OUP The Industrial Arts Service Group is composed of a group of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade boys selected from the Industrial Arts classes. The members work on projects for school, repairs, and on many new things needed in the school. They help the teachers by working on projects for them, and some days they are allowed to work on their own projects. The students in this group learn many new and interesting things which they would not have time to learn in the ln- dustrial Arts course. They receive indi- vidual instruction on operating machines, and in special phases of industrial arts.

N0 Q99 FUTURE HOJIIEZMAICERS is was Beginning a new chapter ofthe F. H. A. DRAJMA T ICS CLUB The adviser of the Freshman and Ad- vanced Dramatic Clubs is Mrs. Rufe. Both of these clubs consist of an ele- mentary course to give students poise, to develop their personality, to make them aware of their potential ability to speak in public, and to help them act out vari- our characters. Some attempt is made to do individual work, to correct speech faults, and to give the individual an op- portunity to make his own interpretations of character. During their club period, the students read skits of their own, use the tape re- corder, read one act plays, and learn about make up. The club also presents an annual assembly program. A Pennridge Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America was organized this semester. This is a National organi- zation interested in and working toward better homes and family living.
