It was organized on September 23, 1943 in an effort to further an interest in Latin. One would suppose that a club centered around what is usually considered a dry language would have very few members; however, the club is very active. Mmmmm! Food! Jcwton, Dolmar, Hall, Lueck. Moloy.

Secretary .......Shirley Hayes Ruth Seefeldt........ Treasurer ..........Arlene Hoff Beverly Beatt ....Sergeant-at-Arms.............None There are few requirements to join the club. That the student be interested in Latin and that he or she take it as a subject for at least one term in junior or senior high school are the only requirements. The club meets the first and third Thursdays of each month with Mrs. Gerard as its adviser. Its programs are always interesting. Lantern slides of Roman ruins have been shown, and plays spoken in Spanish have been presented. Extra activities have been a Christmas party and an Ides of March party given on March 15. The club has no emblem or pin; however, it does have a trophy just received this spring. The first person to have his name engraved on the trophy was Larry Lueck. He received this honor because he had shown unusual ability and interest in the study of Latin and was the club’s first president. In addition to Latin. Larry has studied Chinese. French. German, and Greek. C 28 3

Standard Staff The Standard Staff, which formerly met in Room 325, now has the exclusive use of Room 326. The staff may usually be found in their office during the fourth period. They are probably working on their assignments for the next issue of the paper; that is, if the warm wind blowing through the open windows and the shouts of students enjoying their lunch period have not set their minds wandering. The brisk sounding of the passing bell awakens the few that have been day dreaming to the realization that the deadline is near. On Monday the office is the scene of great activity. There is no sign of day dreaming. The staff typewriter sounds out a hesitant staccato as a one-fingered typist attempts to complete his article. The typist is surrounded by staff members, who all think they should use the battered typewriter next; however, they do agree that the person at the typewriter should have finished long ago. Everyone is conscious of the impending deadline. Immune to the turmoil that surrounds him, Mr. Nielsen caimly executes his duties as the adviser of the staff. On the following Thursday the students eagerly receive their copies of the Standard to read the latest information on the events of the week and to aggravate their teachers by reading during their class periods.

Swedish Club When all the officers of a club have the same last name, it is. indeed, a coincidence. This year the officers of the Swedish club are all Andersons. The Swedish club was organized in 1929 to interest students in Swedish culture. To be a member of the club one must be taking or have taken this language. The Swedish Club meets the first and third Thursday of each month during the school year. One of the important social events of the year is the annual farewell banquet given for graduating members of the Swedish and the Norse Clubs by the other members of both clubs. The Swedish Club and the Norse Club have long been rivals. Each year they play a basketball game. This year the game was won by the Swedish Club. The Swedish Club also presented a trophy to the track team for winning the City Championship at the cross country meets. Individual members of the team received ribbons and medals. Al Anderson. president of the club, officiated at the ceremony following the race; the first five boys received medals, and the next ten were awarded ribbons. Call it Coincidence. Mr. Erdahl, I.
