THE SPANISH CLUB El Circulo Espanol, was first organized in Fremont High School in 1926.

The students in the second year Spanish class are eligible to membership in the club regardless of grade. Each club member is a subscriber to El Orbe, a Spanish magazine published in Havana, Cuba. This magazine contains much interesting world news, and also gives the student an opportunity to read every-day colloquial Spanish as written in a Spanish magazine.

The debate for this year was: Resolved that the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of compulsory unemployment insurance.

CLUB The F. F. A. was organized in 1930-31 under the direction of Mr. Weiler. The purpose of the club is to improve the modern methods of agriculture and to create an interest in farm life. It is composed of boys enrolled in vocational agriculture. The club is a member of a state and national organization. There are four degrees which the boys may strive to reach. They are: the green hand degree, composed of freshman, second, the future farmer degree, which requires a year of vocational agriculture, third the state farmer, chosen by the state organization for superior work and leadership, and fourth the national farmer degree, which very few boys receive. The Home Economics and F. F. A. banquet held last December was an outstanding event in the social affairs of the school club. Also, the livestock judging team won honors in the Tiffin and Toledo contests. The officers are: President .,.......... ......., E arl Rosenberger Vice Pl'Q'SidCl1f ..... ,, -. ....
