Here We Don Roman andals Amo, amas, amat. What does this mean? Inter Nos members know because they all are taking Latin. The club, composed of second- year Latin students, is sponsored by Miss Emma Pfeifer. Its purpose is furthering the knowledge of Latin outside of class. On a night in March members turned time back to the days of ancient Rome. The evening was spent in dining and entertainment similar to the way of Romans. This project is financed by the sale of doughnuts the second and fourth Thursdays of each month after school. Another way of learning more about Latin was the Roman Games, a picnic, which was held at Roadside. Members participated in wrestling, boxing, and other Roman sports. The club meets every third Thursday, then they show slides, hear reports on Roman life and customs, give plays, and enjoy various other pro- grams. It is also the custom for the outgoing mem- bers to leave something to benefit the club. In the past years a projector, slides, and books have been left as memorials. ROME SHALL RISE AGAIN . . .

Clubs Help Us Prepare For F uturv VIC fVocational Industrial Clubl was first organized in 1951. One objective of the club is to work for an award for which standards have been set by the state organization. One of the most important events is the trip the boys make to Columbus to tour the State Government offices. This is a thrilling experi- ence for them because they can learn the opera- tion of the government first hand. They also send delegates to spring and fall conventions in Columbus. Other events include trips to two local in- dustries and a trip to one out-of-city industry. This year they visited Avon Manufacturing Com- pany and Citizens National Bank in Sidney, and Aero Products Corporation in Vandalia. The FFA is a national organization com- posed of boys taking vocational agriculture and having local school chapters. The main pur- poses of the group are to promote brotherhood, to honor rural opportunities and responsibilities, and to develop competent, rural leadership. Our SHS chapter has a very wide variety of activities. Parliamentary procedure and chapter business procedure are practiced at meetings. The boys attend officers' training schools, state conventions, and State FFA camp. On the home front they exhibit at the Shelby County Fair, conduct scrap drives, take part in district and state judging contests, and have various recrea- tional and social activities. The FFA boys are always busy with some activity which prepares them for the future.
