The projectionists along with their adviser, Ken Lower, should be extended a warm and friendly thanks . . . these boys spent a lot of time and effort show- ing movies to classes . . . maybe they did have a little trouble once in a while when Mr. Lower had to be called upon but they did a very good job.

Let's all be quiet! was the by word of our library club . . , Being student librarians taught us a great deal in pa- tience as we wondered how the younger set could be so inquisitive and the old- er ones sotalkative . . . There were al- ways numerous books to be put on shelves, and re-arranging magazines seemed endless . . . We even got a taste at cultivating the social graces when we gave a tea for our faculty . . . We dreaded the cleaning of every nook and corner and hunting for lost books at the end of the year, but we did manage to survive . . . EL CIRCULO ESPANOL gave Gene Frydenlund, its only male member, the honor of being this year's president, and Miss Arvanitis was installed as sergeant-at-arms to insure law and or- der . . . We didn't confine our talents to just the classroom, but brought them throughout the halls when we sang Christmas carols in Spanish . . . Lean- ing to the cultural side we learned some - thing about the heritage of Mexico, Spain, and South America . . , Needless to say all of us enjoyed the meetings and even the work became fun. SPANISH CLUB; L. to R.: D. Bowers, D. Nelson, C. Poss, C. Johnson, D. Lupke, L. Hepp- ner, J. Frydenlund, Y. Lofgren, S. Rust, C. Forseth, J. Legvold, B. Daniel, D. Hage, Miss Arvanitis Adviser. 14

Future Farmers of America LEARNING TO DO DOING TO LEARN EARNING TO LIVE LIVING TO SERVE Under the guidance of our new vocational agriculture teacher, Mr. Bonzer, the FFA immediately became an active organization in school ... so far we have kept it exclusively for the masculine gender . . . Our activities are many and even spread into the summer months, when many of us will attend the state FFA summer camp, and at the end of the summer our hard work with our livestock projects may pay dividends at the State Fair . . . At least many of us are hope- fully anticipating blue ribbons . . . Nevertheless, we know that all the hard work we are doing now as future farmers of America will make us the better farmers of tomorrow. FFA Members: D. Johnson, L. Sandmeyer, N. Hovdet, M.
