The clubs at Princess Anne effec- tively represent the NAME. Wher- ever they may meet, on a national, state, or local level, one will find a delegation proudly carrying the NAME Princess Anne. One needs only to trace the efforts of the Debate Team, the Madrigals, or the Drill Team to see how the NAME is spread. Having won three consecutive state championships in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D. C., the Debate Team has achieved such fame that it was invited to a tournament in Hous- ton, Texas. Certainly the Madrigal Singers have been just as effective at spreading the NAME Princess Anne. Constantly in demand, the Madrigals cap each year's activity with a trip to Florida, singing all the way and spreading the NAME Prin- cess Anne. In their three years of ex- istance, the Drill Team has performed throughout the state and is recognized as the finest girls' marching unit in Virginia. Thus have these three organiza- tions spread the NAME Princess Anne. Yet these groups are not unique, for all organizations at Princess Anne share in the responsibility of making an ideal into a area of activity and abilities lie, to channel and reality. ln whatever a student's interests there will be a club mold that student's interest and ability into a worth-while contribution stamped with the NAME Princess Anne.
