Dolly Madison Club The object of the Dolly Madison Club is to develop appreciation, interest, and knowledge of home economics. This year fifty-eight members cooperated in making it a very successful club. A party was given for our grandmothers at Christmas to bring cheer to the elderly ladies. A Spring Dance was given with the money obtained from spon- soring a movie at the Ritz Theater. A Future Farmers Party was also given in the spring. Annually a party is given for the club members who are being graduated. Jeannette Randle and Ruth Bertsch represented the club at the State Home Economics Convention at Indianapolis in October.

The Future Farmers ' organization is a national organization of high school students in vocational agriculture. Its program is developed for an entire year and is not limited to the school term. In the summer the members went to Indianapolis where they visited the State Farm Bureau offices and plant, and Lieutenant-Governor Schricker at the State House. The chief event of our year is the Jasper County Corn Show, which we sponsored. It was held in November under the leadership of Rogers Amsler, Ray Smith, Paul Zimmer, and Paul Branson. Robert Jacks was toastmaster at the concluding banquet. Elmer Phegley and Howard Bruce were our delegates to the State Conven- tion at Purdue on June 12-14. Henry Amsler and Austin Moore were awarded the coveted Hoosier Farmer degree and gold key at the State Convention. Only ten other members in the entire state were recipients of these honors.

Music Department Every good building must have its embellishment, and the High School Chorus and Concert Band furnish this need for Rensselaer High School. Throughout the year, under the able direction of their foreman, Mr. Frye, these musical or- ganizations have lent atmosphere to the activities of the school. Both of these groups had increased membership over their predecessors. Their work showed fine craftsmanship and was polished by frequent rehearsals. The Chorus, appearing in several outside engagements as well as the an- nual school activities, worked hard throughout the year to present finished per- formances when they appeared. Their activities included assembly programs, an appearance before the Ladies ' Literary Society, an Armistice Day program at the Armory, a Parent Teachers ' program, a Christmas program in the Christian Church, Christmas caroling, lengthy and difficult programs at Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises, and a cantata at the spring Music Festival. No oper- etta was presented this year, but an ambitious music festival more than filled its place. ( 22 )
