NT CLUB T Club, organized in 1935, is the Speech Club of Fort Roodhouse. This club received its name because the meeting nights are Tuesday and Thurs- day and the initial of our instructor, Lieutenant-General Thelma Wilkinson, is UT . All volunteers reported for service shortly after the opening of school in September. It is a rule that only old members, classification 1-A, can be drafted for an office. The following se- lection was made: Marie Dean, presi- dent, Betty Anthony, vice-president, Jacqueline Gilmore, secretary, Frank Hopkins, treasurer. The initiation banquet was held about the middle of December. A large number of students were taken in as members at that time. On Saturday, March 7, the district speech contest was held in Carrollton. Those representing Roodhouse Were: Kenneth Steelman, Jack Tennill, Betty Anthony, Norma Vestel, Elinor Crab- tree and at one-act play, A Sunday Afternoon , consisting of Jacqueline Gilmore, Elinor Crabtree, Bob Neal and Dale Stone. On March 28, Kenneth Steelman and the play cast Went to DuQuoin to the sectional contest. We Wish, first, to thank Lieutenant- General Wilkinson for her splendid leadership and, next, to encourage all students of 1942-43 not to miss out on T Club, because it is lots of fun as well as being very educational for the future.

A., for the school year of '41 and '42, set sail from the port of Roodhouse on September 26, 1941. The launching was under the admir- alty of Pilots Muldrow and Flori. Offic- ers, as follows, were chosen: Captain, Lorraine Jackson, Commander, Irene Ballard, Lieutenant Commander, Hazel Bower. There were twenty-six sailors on duty. On October 18, 1941, six members of the crew, namely, Lorraine Jackson, Irene Ballard, Wilma Jackson, Mary 'A' A. 'A' A. and Simmons, Rosemary McAdams, Hazel Bower, represented Roodhouse G.A.A. at a play-day in the port of Al- sey. Numerous parties were held during the year. These parties were made pos- sible by semester dues of twenty-five cents paid by each member. We, the crew of 1941-1942, do hope that the oncoming members of the G. A. A. will have as successful a voyage as we have had. HAZEL BOWER. 'A' ADVICE TO GIRLS Don't Go Out With: Basketball Men-Theylre Too Fast. Biology Students-They Cut Up Too Much.

At this meeting we elected our officers for the year of 1941 and 1942. They were as follows: President, Elinor Crabtree 5 vice-presi- dent, Mary Tueyg secretary, Kathryne Langley, treasurer, Evelyn Ford. Later in the year we had a party in the school gym. This year, due to the shortage of rubber, the club did not go to contest but gave an operetta entitled Purple Towers , in place of going to contest. Then about the last of February, the club went to Jacksonville to sing over the air. It was an experience for all the girls. The club met on Mondays and Wed- nesdays for their forty-minute practice period. We also had a Mixed Ensemble this year which met after Glee Club on Wednesdays and after school on Fri- days. Our instructor, Captain Edwards, who came as a new officer this year, has done her work well and we as a club appreciated her guidance.
