FUTURE FARMERS CE AMERICA Plowing the ground, planting the corn, and pitching the hay are only a few of the things that the F. F. A. are doing and will be doing in the years to come. - This club is made up entirely of boys who are interested in agriculture. With their cap- able sponsor, Mr. E. E. Privett, the officers--president, Bill Matlock, vice-president, Bob Griifin, secretary, Bill Maze, and treasurer, Paul Rosfeld-are keeping things rolling along. STENCGRAPHERS' CLUB All over the country in every office can be found these gals sitting at a typewriter with shorthand notes at their finger tips, and they are working very hard. But their works are not in vain, for they are learning by experience that they may be big cogs for great wheels of civilization in the future. While in school, there were twenty-five members who carried on the activities of the Stenographers' Club which met once a month for business, four other meetings, two each semester, were social parties. Dancing, games, and of course refreshments typified these parties. To help the Stenogs along their way were the officers, Martha Thorp, president, Pat Gor- don, vice-president, Barbara Mohr, secretary, Kathleen Stark, treasurer, Joan Ruby, social chairman, and Edith Kennedy, program chairman. The sponsors were Mrs. Ruth Cartmel and Mr. Russell Schermer. LANGUAGE CLUB Language is an important implement if the idea of one world is to be an accomplished fact. The Language Club of Rushville High School offers students the opportunity to fur- ther their knowledge of foreign languages and to study the life of foreigners. The officers for this year were: Elizabeth Hannefey, president, Jane Kiplinger, vice- president, Bob Curtis, secretary, and Bob Durbin, treasurer. The club meetings were held on Tuesday every two weeks, the fifth period. The outstanding events of each year are the Christmas Party and the celebration of Pan American Day on April 14. Sponsors of the Language Club were Miss Lois Lichtsinn and Miss Virginia Pearl Rice. 26

RUSHLITE Under the expert leadership of Jo Ellen Byrne, editor, and Barbara VanSickle, assistant, the '47 - '48 Rushlite had a very successful year. To facilitate the publication, the staff was divided into two distinct groups that alternately published the bi-weekly publication. Mrs. Madeline Gullion Knight was the Rushlite faculty advisor. HQLCAD Holcad pictures of the greatest cogs next Thursday! Be sure to look your best, fiashes the announcement. There were few activities for the seniors that day even though the schedule ran as usual. The seniors of '48 through hard work and earnest efforts have presented Rushville High School students and the community with a book of memories to look back upon as they re- call those good old days. David Singleton and Lowell Rose, editors of the Holcad, with a staff of co-operative, hard working seniors, and their sponsor Miss Florence Madden, have worked hard to make this annual a success. TWELVE GIRLS The nucleus for the Twelve Girls was formed in 1943 by Mr. Donald E. Myers and at that time contained only six girls. Because it represented outstanding talent, the organiza- tion soon doubled its number, the members being chosen through tryouts for finding the best voices. The talented group is one of the most popular organizations in the school. They have performed on several occasions. Some of their performances were gratis as are they all when done for the school, but some were done for pay, and the money earned was used to defray legitimate expenses. If there is a surplus, it goes into the Orpheus Club treasury. 25
