Here they also meet to celebrate with music, games, and laughter the success of another year. At RHCS, also, students and teachers meet to spend many days - in fact, twelve years together. Eagerly they work throughout each year so that they, too, may look back with satisfaction upon the year's accomplishments. Like the fairgrounds, RHCS corridors continually ring with Yes, just as the days long in our memory, be forgotten. And so edition of Scope, has between a visit to the the music and the laughter of youth. spent at the County Fair will linger the years spent at RHCS will never it is that Press Club, in this, the 1950 endeavored to disclose the similarity County Fair and daily life in RHCS. Come To 4 The Fair l can DEDICATION To you, Miss Hofert, the stad fondly takes this oppor- tunity to dedicate its annual, the 1950 edition of Scope. The fact that you have been a teacher in the Gasport and Royalton-Hartland Central Schools for thirty-three of the forty years which you have been teaching would in itself merit this small token of our appreciation for your untiring service. VVC feel, however, that in addition to this, it has been your willing co-operation, your cheerful spirit, and your superior ability as a teacher which have endeared you to the hearts of all of us. Parents, pupils, and all of your acquaintances hold you in the highest regard both as a teacher and as a friend. And so we, too, realize that we are fortunate in having known you and in having been at some time under your supervision. For you, then, Miss Hofert, with the dedication of this yearbook, we sincerely hope that you may add many more useful years to your already full and serviceable life. 5 To Learn and Play TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration - Seniors Lower Classrnen - Curriculum - Activities - Music Sports 6 Wlaaage . . . .

These are well deserved awards the teachers receive, for it is they who guide the students through twelve years of school life. Nor is their task an easy one! It is work which, to be done successfully, requires an endless amount of time and energy plus years of training and study. To carry out their duties, the faculty members organized an association which held regular meetings to solve problems concerned with the managing of our fair. In addition, the blue ribbon winners attended conferences to discuss improvements for our educational system. The first of these, the zone conference, was held in October in Buffalo. Later lVlr. Frohlich's supervisory meeting met at the Bugalo Museum of Science. For recreation the organization planned several social events during the year. First was a get acquainted party on September 27 and the Christ- mas season was observed with a banquet at the country club. The season was brought to a close with the annual spring dinner. The success of any board of directors, whether of a County Fair or of a school, is measured by its results. So it is that the managers of the RHCS County Fair gauge their success by the accomplishments of the students placed under their guidance. To them, then, we award a blue ribbon in token of a good job well done! -Barbara Brower 9 So Merry ENGLISH TEACHERS CATHERINE CRAMFR, Junior High English, Seventh Grade Adviser, Faculty Advisory Committee, Testing Program Director, BETTY HILT, Junior and Senior High English, Freshman Co-Adviser, Press Club Adviser, Dramatic Club Adviser, Junior and Senior Play Directress, Central School Cavalcade Corn- mittee: DORIS ST.

The opening numbers of the much heralded exhibition by the stars of the RHCS County Fair were the annual field day and the magazine drive. Next came one of the high lights of the evening - The Senior Play - Our Hearts Were Young and Gay , the profit from which made the tedious hours of practice well worthfwhile for the performers. To uphold their reputation for auspicious activities, the Seniors then concentrated their talents on the festively decorated Christmas Fantasy Ball. And to prove that success can be repeated, they again won public applause with an informal spring dance. Then came the long awaited trip for which these people had worked so hard to obtain funds, a week of long remembered fun and excitement in New York. But the climax of this grandstand performance - the grand finale, long looked forward to by the Seniors as well as their audience - is yet to come. Though somewhat reluctant to give up their coveted position to their lunior proteges, the stars of our County Fair, marching to the solemn and stately strains of Pomp and Circumstanceu, will proudly display their best showmanship in the greatest of all their performances - graduation! -Barbara Brower 20 ln The Morning BARBARA A.

And the Seniors, accepting his challenge as they had accepted other challenges, began to reminisce over the long shots they had played in high school. They also remembered the hours of toil they had endured to complete successfully their many presentations and productions. Beginning in the seventh grade the Class of '50 started to work and play its way to the senior homeroom to become the first graduating class to complete junior and senior high in the centralized school district of Royalton-Hartland. During their freshman year, class members sold candy and football and basketball pins. The Christmas card sale and the Sophomore Fiesta made their second year a memorable one. The junior year started with the stationery drive followed by the dances after the Friday night home basketball games. In the spring the juniors presented their smash hit, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court . Their final projects for that year were the colorful Moving-Up Day exercises and the elaborate Farewell Ball. Climaxed by long awaited graduation, the senior year proved to be the most exciting and thrilling of all. Soon, the Seniors will have to step out to take their places in the world, proudly yet reluctantly relinquishing their honored spot to the Class of '5l. And in the years to come they, like adults remembering happy childhood days at the fair, will fondly reminisce over the happy days they spent at Rl-ICS - their Alma Mater! -Peggy Thaxter and Tom Coleman 21 And Deck BARBARA E.

We watch a group of youngsters move along from one concession to another testing its luck and trying to get the most for their money. Finally they come to the rides and stand in awe as they gaze up at the giant roller coaster. Their laughing faces and carefree spirits remind us of the lowerclassmen at RHCS. Quickly these frolicking boys and girls in school learn to work and to play together, little realizing that they are laying the foundation for their high school courses. The students of the junior high, having advanced to a position where they may look upon high school as something very close at hand, impatiently await their turn. To them it appears to be a long, hectic ride but well worth a try. All of the high school students know that actually the time passes quickly, and the ups and downs encountered along the Way are not as had as they first looked. With the end of their high school career so near, the students begin to look forward to their graduation. These children, exploring the midway and realizing that like school, the end comes all too soon, try to make the most of their days at the fair. -Rosemary Takacs SOPHOIVIORES - MR. KANE Front Row: J.

As vocational guidance counselor, Mr. White gives advice to senior high school boys concerning their high school course and their plans lor the future. The Sun At nine a. m. and three p. m. each day, Imogene Heiser makes important announcements to the homerooms over the public address system. Quiet prevails as students make use of a free period in study hall by working on their homework assignments. Because of the crowded classroom conditions, Mr. Kane must hold one of his history review classes in the hall. 54 Is A Shining Many students have found time in their schedule to take advantage of the drivers' training course offered at RHCS. Eager young chemists perform one of the thirty required experiments in the chemistry lab under the supervision of Mr. White. The dictaphone is one of the many machines which the girls in Mrs. MCKinney's secretarial class learn to operate. Major operation in dressmaking-measuring, cut- ting, pinning and sewing-are performed by stu- dents in one of Miss Clarke,s homemaking classes. 55 To Welcome daily in our cafeteria. ln the Middleport cafeteria we find Mrs. Clute, Mrs. Winters, and Mrs. Cook cheerfully preparing delicious lunches for the hungry horde. Miss Pendorf, our new cafeteria manager, carefully plans the nutritious, well-balanced meals served As soon as the lunch period bell rings, a long line of hungry students fomis at the cafeteria counter. 56 Mrs. Gaslcill, lX'lrs. Swan, lWrs. Day, and Mrs. Burl form the team which keeps Gasport children eating happily and healthfully. The Day lVlrs. Mahar, the school nurse, keeps a careful record of the weight and height of each student in our school system. Every two weeks organizations from our own school or groups from the School Assembly Service present assembly programs for the student body. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Porter, the boys in shop class learn to operate and to care for many kinds of tools and machines. Fourth grade pupils feel very grown-up when in their homemaking class they study how to become better family members. 57 Come To The Fair Calisthenics, an important course in Mrs. Bridges m classes, hel s the virls to develoa balance, SY P as l grace, and muscular control. lntent upon their work, art students find that this course offers an opportunity for them to display their creative ability. lVlrs.

MCKINNEY, MISS ST. JOHN, Miss SIIuI.Ts, Miss HILT, Mrss WELIKES For da s before the fair actually arrived, people would read their daily papers with breathless anticipation, impatiently waiting for the spectacular event. just so - students, parents, and friends eagerly read the columns of Echoi', official newspaper of BHCS. Here they find full and accurate stories of all school events. ln order to bring complete coverage of news to the reader, Echo's staff prints grade as well as high school items and has added a column of alumni news to its pages this year. ln addition to Echo , Press Club publishes the yearbook, Scope , which is designed to paint a true picture of life in BHCS. Again this year its staff has reason to be proud, since Scope has been awarded the coveted Buffalo Evening News Trophy for the second time in succession. lt has also won the highest award in the national contest sponsored by Columbia University. Another function of the Press Club is to edit the schools handbook which contains authentic information regarding classes, courses of study, and activities thus serving as a reliable guide for students to use throughout the year. So - with the responsibility of editing three publications concerned with dif- ferent aspects of life in BHCS - you can readily see that Press Club members must be as ambitious and as versatile as a newspaperman reporting a County Fair! -Barbara McKinney 60 Are All Working Front Row: F.

O'Shaughnessy STACECRAFT CLUB President ---- MARILYN STILLINGER Vice-President - RICHARD BROWN Secretary WILLIAM WHEELER Treasurer ---- THOMAS COLEMAN Essential to the success of any County Fair are those people who work behind the scenes, the men and women who set up the framework for the many exhibitions and sideshows. Vital as their work is, however, too often these are the very ones who receive little acknowledgement for their edorts. And so it is with S-tagecraft Club members, for they are the ones who set the scene for the numerous productions staged in BHCS throughout the year, but they often are given little reward for their labors. Working to the music of banging hammers, creaking flats, and swishing paint brushes, Stagecrafters enthusiastically undertake their initial operation, erection of the set for the Senior Play, 0ur Hearts Were Young and Cay . Their next major assignment is from the rluniors. Once again flats are raised, thumbs are pounded, paint is splashed, but the stage is finally set for another dramatic production. Un- daunted by the inevitable mishaps, members of this hard-working stage crew, in conjunction with Art Kraft Klub, successfully complete their final task, the decoraf tions for the Spring Concert. Such is the work of the stag crew in BHCS or at the County Fair, unheralded work that is often done with inadequate equipment, work that depends entirely upon co-operation and initiative, work that is so vital to the success of any activity at school or fairl -Barbara Brower 61 So Merry STUDENT COUNCIL President - lVlADELINE REALE Vice-President - - LORA SHAW SecretaryfTreasurer - e - ADELINE RYBACKI Advisers - - MR.

For the first time in your lives, you are permitted to attend a meeting of the Student Council. This is the only organization on the grounds that unifies ideas and problems of the various groups at the RHCS County Fair. lt's spectacular to see how wisely, democratically, and efficiently members of this group perform their tasks of managing the greatest show on earth. Step right up! Notice that each grade, seventh through twelfth, is repre- sented by capable, active delegates chosen in spring elections. Thats it! Move up close for this stupendous, gigantic performance! Right now council members are carrying on a serious discussion of the many problems with which they must deal. The governing body makes a calendar for extracurricular activities, approves money-making schemes, reviews constitutions for newly formed clubs. and distributes an outline of eighth period activities. Come right in, folks, and observe how representatives alternate in introducing guest speakers at assemblies. Sce how the council plans this year to adopt a new point system and to revise its own constitution. And now, ladies and gentlemen, our breath-taking evening performance is fast drawing to a close! Student Council is about to adjourn until fair season next fall when its members will meet again to undertake the management and direction of another RHCS County Fair!! -Madeline Reale Front Row: C.

CoATIzs A'Step in linel Keep moving right alongl shouted the warning voice of a nearby policeman at the County Fair. As he hurried us past the ticket window, we were reminded of the Fire Wardens, the boys who serve as policemen for our RHCS fair. These Fire Wardens help to maintain law and order in our school. VVhen- ever the fire bell rings, each Fire Warden assumes his post for duty - holding doors, forming lines, or emptying rooms. At the close of school, under the supervision of the fire chief, four boys oversee the loading of buses. And often we see many of the wardens at evening functions where they perform tasks for the benefit of all. Directing and conducting the students to and from assemblies and arranging the seating of pupils at such gatherings are also duties of the wardens. Frequently the boys check and demonstrate fire fighting equipment and test fireproof materials throughout the building. Members of this organization are elected at the first class meeting in September. Juniors and Seniors elect five members while the lower classes choose four. During the year this group meets on the second Wednesday of each month. Although the Fire Wardens at RHCS may never be called upon to cope with any serious danger, they, like the policemen at the County Fair, are always on duty executing their various tasks to insure the general safety and well being of the crovvdl -june Vogt Front Row: D.

HILL VVhen we visit a County Fair, we notice that nearly everyone leaves the build- ings with hands and arms full of bright colored pamphlets and leaflets. These colorful booklets are distributed by various advertising companies as a service to supply the public with all kinds of information. The people, carrying so much literature with them, remind us of RHCS students leaving the library with their arms laden with many new books. Members of the Library Club, however, must perform many tasks before these volumes may be borrowed. They have to type catalogue cards, process books, read the shelves, prepare overdue notices, and make attractive bulletin boards. In addition, members of the group, just like the advertisers at the fair, are always willing to assist the student with his many problems. They help him learn that the library serves as an inexhaustible source of information for any course of study and as a never-ending supply of material for his enjoyment. For this purpose the library has a wide selection of books - books on careers, travel, sports, and biography. When the fair is over, the grounds are covered with colorful booklets dropped and forgotten by the crowd. just so - at the end of the day, books are found scattered on the library tables where busy students have left them, perhaps forgetting that it is through Library Club that these services are available. -Betty Lou Mallaber 64 Are AS Fine Front Row: Miss Clarke, Adviser, W.

It is here, as everyone knows, that first aid will be administered by competent personnel whenever injury, illness, or other emergency strikes. Like the Red Cross at the County Fair, the Junior Red Cross Council at RHCS is always doing its part to assist people in distress. All of the activities of this organization are aimed at one unselfish goal - to give help where it is needed. Students gave money wholeheartedly to su port the March of Dimes in February. Several times the group collected funds for the support of CARE drives which always reached their goal. The organization sponsored a Goodwill drive to collect second- hand clothing and other articles from the student body. These materials provided work for the handicapped of the Goodwill Industries. Working with the art depart- ment, the Red Cross Council helped to make posters and decorations for the Vet- erans' Facility in Batavia. This group eagerly supported the free swimming program sponsored by the Lockport Chapter of the American Red Cross during the summer. Eighty-seven students, having successfully passed the required tests, were awarded their swimming certificates. VVherever that familiar Red Cross symbol is displayed, whether at the County Fair or at RHCS, it will always be a token of service - generous, efficient, willing service - for others. -Donna Knapp and Alice Parsons 65 As Can Be DRAIVIATIC CLUB President - lVlARY SMITH Vice-President A Donna KNAPP Secretary A ROSEMARY TAKACS Treasurer AIIDREX' VANELL Look at the crowd in front of that tentl Listenll You can hear the barker shouting, Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. Get your tickets for the most spec- tacular melodrama ever staged. Herc's the best performance at the County Fair - 'Curse You jack Dalton' - presented by Dramatic Club of RHCSUV, Everyone knows that any production by Dramatic Club is well worth seeing for members of this group have had much experience in Thespian pursuits. As one of their functions, they presented a radio skit over VVUSJ. Each club member also had thc opportunity of studying the art of make-up and of applying his knowledge to the casts of the high school plays. At several meetings the students enjoyed reading dramas and enacting sections from them. As usual, they sponsored the annual public speaking contest. These projects of 1949-1950 have all had a two-fold goal. They were designed to make Dramatic Club a benefit not only to its members but also to the entire student body, and they were planned to make the program of the organization complete enough to earn membership in the National Thespian Society. To accomplish these aims, members of the group worked long and hard. To them, then, it was no surprise when the curtain fell on the last of the plays in the County Fair's one-act play contest, that the judges unanimously awarded first prize to none other than their own RHCS Dramatic Club! -Donna Knapp and Evelyn Metcalf Front Row: F.

PORTER In spite of the confusion at the County Fair, we finally reach our goal - a quiet, secluded building where a group of men are examining farm machinery. They listen with interest while a demonstrator explains the operation of the machines to them. And like the County Fair, RHCS has its quiet corner where Mr. Porter gives in- structions to FFA members about farm implements. Here boys who plan to be the 'farmers of tomorrown come together for study of all phases of agriculture. ln September FFA sponsored its own fair - the Harvest Show. The first floor was filled with displays of fruits, vegetables, and homemaking articles which had been raised or made by RHCS pupils. Later club members acted as hosts for the Niagara- Orleans Apple Judging Contest. During the year Mr. Porter arranged for the boys to attend the New York Horticultural Show in Rochester, the meeting of Farm Co-operatives, the State Farmers of America Convention, and the Farm and Home Week at Cornell University. The group also went to Bulfalo for an exciting and educational marketing trip. On this adventure they visited the Packing Plant, the Dairyman's League, the C. L. F. Feed Mill, and the Ford Motor Company. The knowledge the FFA fellows are gaining through such a program makes it very probable that in a few years we shall find them in the quiet, secluded building at the County Fair explaining the operation of farm machinery to the public! -Maxine Trippensee Front Row: G.

Potato Chips! All you want for one dimell' Those voices from the food stand sound familiar! And they should for look whos running the concession!!! They're FHA girls from BHCSHH Popcorn! Potato Chipsln, they shout and the crowd buys readily. Why? Because everyone knows that food prepared by FHA girls is food worthy of a blue ribbon. The local unit of Future Homemakers of America is composed of twenty-three members all of whom are striving to earn four degrees. ln the organization the girls work to accumulate points which are granted for representing the school at meetings, for serving as chairmen of money raising or community campaigns, and for national ratings. The first scheduled activity of the club was a coke party to which all new members were invited. Immediately the group began to raise money to send dele- gates to the meetings in Buffalo, Fredonia, and Morrisville. For this purpose the girls sold popcorn and potato chi s at all the home athletic events. ln holiday spirit they filled a Yuletide basket and, decorated a Christmas tree which they presented to a member of the community. The girls had much fun at a roller skating party in the spring and before they realized it they were saying farewell at their final party of the year in June. As we munch the delicious popcorn and potato chips, we realize that if they are samples of FHA girls, accomplishments then we must heartily congratulate the Future I-lomemakers for they are already far along on the road to success! -Barbara Williams 68 Pre tty To See Front Row: D.

Members of the ambitious group, under the supervision of Mr. White, meet once a month. The aim of their organization is to extend knowledge in the field of science. Science Club has enabled its members to carry on a study of any phase of the subject in which they are most interested. At some of the gatherings, however, more general reports are given on topics which are of interest to all. During their meetings in '49 and '50, these eager students have conducted experiments and have held lively discussions designed to bring new techniques of scientific research to their attention. In addition to the work of the organized group, the members have been permitted to use the laboratory to perform experiments in connection with their individual fields of interest. They have also been privileged to view several film strips illustrating fascinating hobbies. At many of their gatherings, quizzes have been held not only for the enjoyment of the students but also for the educational value found in such contests. And so if all you Hfair-goers will visit the County Fairs llall of Science next year, youlre sure to find a number of outstanding scientific discoveries which have been made by members of the RI ICS Science Club! -Norma lean Eichelkraut 69 Come Maidens Front Row: C.

After the people enter the grounds and see the colorful billboards displayed by the youthful artists, they are more than anxious to see what goes onli inside the tents. ln like manner, Art Kraft Klubbers draw the attention of the public to our school functions by providing striking signs to advertise our dances, plays, and games. Again the Art Krafters hear exclamations of praise from the crowd when people purchase Scope and Echo , for much of their work is to be found on the pages of these publications. Members of the Klub also attract public attention to our school by their beautiful window decorations at Christmas time. Of course, their best work is to be viewed at the annual Art Exhibit in May. Here the drawings of the young artists bring forth as many favorable comments from the visitors as do the signs at the County Fair! And so ends a busy year for these club members, except for one meeting in June when they gather to relax and to recall all the wonderful times - Cand difficult ones, toolD - they faced while working on their many varied projects. At this meeting, however, they resolve that next year the Rl-ICS County Fair will have even more attractive signs and posters as a result of the efforts of the Art Kraftersll -Elrene Rossow 70 And Men Front Row: S.

It's the steam calliope playing the gay yet blatant music which is such an important part of the atmosphere of any County Fair!!! We can hear its strident tunes as entertainment in itself or more often as a background for other acts. lust so, music is one of the most important features in RHCS, for during the year our Band and Clee Club often combine their talents to present many musical programs worthy of grandstand appearances. Their first show brought the Yuletide spirit to all who attended the annual Christmas concert. The Mixed Clee Club made its first appearance on this occasion. The music departmentis greatest act of the year was the annual Spring Concert at which the galaxy of musical stars presented both group performances and solo features. In May both Band and Clee Club traveled to Barker to enter a competition performance which was rated by well-known judges. The RI-ICS Band also provided a background for other acts by making an appearance at every assembly program and entertaining audiences between acts of the Junior and Senior plays. To prepare younger students for the time when they must take the places of these star performers, the junior Band and junior Clee Club have been organized. This year, for the first time, the junior organizations presented their own concert. The success of the affair proved beyond doubt that the RHCS County Fair will never lack for musiclll -Ann Thomson 74 Are Beating MIXED CHORUS Front Row: J. Gimbel, D. Srnith, M. Singer, E.

CGATES Spectators in the grandstand are spell-bound as the breathlessl watch the pre- cision of the skillful jugglers performing on the stage bellow them. lymmediately their amazing act reminds us of the major sport at Rl-ICS, basketball, for, just as the jugglers must exhibit perfection to thrill their audiences, so the hoopsters must dis- play accuracy and perfect timing to excite their fans! This seas0n's Varsity Royals possessed these ualities to such a degree that our games were highlighted with snappy ball handcling and well-timed plays. The team, however, was greatly handicapped by the absence of height. Through keen competition within the s uad, Coach Ted Coates was unable to choose five regular starters so by constant srllbstitution every layer saw considerable action. Although they were underdogs from the start, the Bellows worked hard and cooperated with each other to the end. Even though thoroughly outplaying the opponents in several contests, the Purple and White was unable to chalk a win. The initial quintet for the final game consisted of cagers who will return to us next year and from their favorable showing we can expect a winning ball club in 1950-1951. The fascination of the County Fair once again captures the moment. As we watch the precise movements of the jugglers, we can not help but remember the white clad Royals as they moved accurately over the basketball court. Surely the characteristics that made this season's ball club good will make next year's team best! -William Wheeler 80 Racing And Chasing Front Row: J. Morrison, R. Butler, D. Genet, J.

PILKEY They're off!', A shout rings out over the loud speaker and all eyes turn toward the oval track where the pounding of hoofs and the whir of the spoked wheels tell us that the harness races are under way. At the halfway mark your favorite is far behind - you fear all is lost! But look now!! He is moving swiftly to take the lead and he wins - leaving the others far behind!!! So it was with this seasonis V.'s. Under the guidance of jim Pilkey, the fellows worked diligently to develop with amazing swiftness. Though many times the Reserve Royals found themselves trailing at half time, they returned with re- newed courage and stamina to force every game down to the wire. Ten times their undying spirit resulted in a well deserved victory. In many instances when the odds were overwhelming, they surged on to fall short by only a few points at the final gun. This year's squad sported only three veterans, but the newcomers advanced so rapidly that every player will undoubtedly be an important factor in the fate of future varsities. The pounding hoofs and the roar of the crowd bring us back once more to the race track. As we Watch the horses pass the grandstand, we cannot help but think how favorably the speed and spirit of this year's Junior Varsity compare with the swrftness and mettle of the thoroughbreds! VVilliam Wheeler 81 'Therell Be FOOTBALL Captain RICHARD SHEPHEARD Manager - WILLIAM HINT Coach - MR. COATES Hey, Rube! The famous cry echoes over the fair grounds! Immediately the midway is crowded with musclemen and entertainers rushing to the aid of their fellow worker. Similarly, the cry of i'Footballl', echoing over the gridiron, brings guards and aerialists on the run to defend the honor of their Alma Mater - RHCS. The combination of trying hours of practice, untold physical punishment, and a fight to the last man team spirit failed, however, to reap the fruits of victory for the gridiron Royals during this past season. Plagued by injury and fate throughout the entire fall, the Royal protectors of the Purple and White fought against overwhelming odds to battle their way, un- heralded, through the most terrific conflicts in the team's career. lndividual aerialists and guards led their teammates back time and time again from unsuccessful starts. Displaying remarkable offensive and defensive plays against hopeless odds, they continued, however, to battle heroically. ln practically every conflict, some injury was sustained which soon began to take its roll on the Royal protectors' stamina. Their spirit, which kept them plugging continually, remained undaunted never- theless. Next season, the old squad of guards and aerialisrs, returning to their gridiron platforml' to be supplemented by many green aspirants, may prove to be more suc- cessful. But veteran spectators agree that they'll have difficulty to maintain the undying team spirit that carried the Royals through this - their Hdarkn season! -Tom Coleman Front Row: L. Hodgins, L.

How do they do it!!! These are a few of the exclamations you hear while watching the participants in the acrobatic act of the County Fair. The acrobats, members of Girls, Sports Club, easily justify these remarks. They have proved that to obtain balance and perfection they must work together as a team with patience, accurac , ambition, and good will. Any member of the organization will tell you that teamwork is not only re- quired in acrobatic acts but also in all the other activities that add spice to a Sports Clubber's life. For example, the intramural program of volleyball, basketball, bad- minton, and softball offers the opportunity for obtaining the ten points necessary for joining the club. To retain her membership, a girl must earn at least thirty points each year. After gaining one hundred points, she is entitled to a long awaited letter. For those who excel among the members, there is the opportunity of going to neighf boring schools to compete with other athletes in volleyball and basketball. The girls show their more domestic natures when they present boxes of homemade candy to the members of the basketball team. Another high light of the year is the annual dance sponsored by the group. And so, with the audience cheering them on, our acrobats, through the use of team work and good sportsmanship, continue to strive to perfect their performance that it may rival the best of the acrobatic acts at the County Fair! -Marion Emke Front Row: E.
