S +P. C. H. BAND These pictures represent the P. C. H. S. Band and Orchestra. There are ap- proximately ninety-five members in these two organizations with Mr. Ptacek as the instructor. These organizations participated in the District Music Contest and each received a rating of good. Many members of the band will think back with a twinkle in their eyes at the razzing racket that old P. C. H. S. made on the football field when they got pepped up. Rah! Rah! These organizations with the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs gave two musicals during the year for financing the music department. One of these was given at the Grant Theater and free to the public. The organization also sponsored a show for the purpose of buying music racks for the band and orchestra. ORCHESTRA l 9 3 of eeeeeeeee eeee e be

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The aim of the Home Economics Club is to further the interest in home eco- nomics and its relationship to the home. More than ever before a direct connec- tion between the home and school is needed. Active and efficient leaders are developed among the women for home and community life and social activities are provided through the organization. Each year definite activities approved by the State Association, based on the ideals of professional mindedness, service to others, healthfulness, alertness to future, friendliness, respectfulness to leaders, attractiveness in dress and interna- tional mindedness are carried out. The birthday on December 3 of Ellen Richards, founder of home economics, is customarily observed with a tea, luncheon, or banquet. In the program for the year hikes are planned and gifts of thanksgiving are sent to many people. The Future Farmers Association and Home Economics Club plan an exchange of parties and a faculty-student party is given in Septem- ber. Club meetings which any girl with one year of home economics may attend are held semi-monthly. The Perkins County Home Economics Club is affiliated with the State and National Home Econom- ics associations from which helps and aids are re- ceived. A national convention for all home eco- nomics people is held annually. The officers at present are Eleanor Norman, Presi- dentg Elaine Pillard, Vice-President, Geraldine Hen- dricks, Secretary, Doris Stout, Treasurer: and Claudia Nomer, Publicityg Dorothy Tharp, Pep Leader.
