VALEDICTORIAN Throughout our program tonight we have tried to give you something of our school life. We have shown you one side of the picture-our work, our new responsibilities, our intellectual, social and athletic activities-but we have failed, in a large measure, to stress the importance of the other side-those things we have gained from our years in high school which will be of lasting value. In these present times, in this turbulent, ever-changing world of today, it is essential that its youth have a sound set of values. The seven objectives of education, mentioned earlier this evening. express most clearly the ways in which our public school systems prepare youth to meet life's problems. The first of these aims is Health- a sound mind in a sound body. Through its gymnasium and science classes the school has done much to impress its pupils with the importance of physical iitness in relation to happiness and future success. Secondly, education encourages respect for the home through classes in home economics, and, less directly, by creating new situations which call for coopera- tion and ability to get along with others. With this is the third aim, teaching the worthwhile use of leisure time. Courses in music, art, literature, and sports, as well as social contacts, are important here. The fourth objective is Knowledge, the original purpose of all schools: and the fifth, a much newer one, Vocation, However, experience has demonstrated that training in commercial work, agriculture, and industrial arts has its place in the high school curriculum as surely as history, science, and mathematics. If these aims were listed in order of importance, Citizenship would rank near the top. At a time in the world's history when democracy and personal liberty seem to be worth so little, American schools have been a leading factor in the popularization of American ideals. But in any era, our civics classes and practical experience in the government of clubs and societies work to this end. Of the last and greatest aim, Character, little need be said, but I rather like what the seventh guide said. Do you remember? This is the most worthy of all the lights for without it the others would grow dim. Our program tonight is almost over, and with it our high school career. It's time to say words that somehow catch in the throat and will not let themselves be spoken. So before we say them we want to thank you for these past four years- our friends, our good times, and above all. the liner, nobler gifts which will help us to meet our big problems and all those little experiences which they tell us make up Life. Goodbye, JANET KING Valedictorian 20 SALUTATCDIQIAN We, the class of 1940, welcome you who have come to attend our commence- ment. We are glad to share this proud moment in our lives with those who are most interested in our welfare. Tonight marks the beginning of a new era in our lives. Tomorrow, we launch our ships on the uncharted sea of life. Our yesterdays have been spent in preparation for the launching of those ships. For many years our teachers and parents have been helping us prepare for the journey over unknown seas. They have been teaching us to steer our course around rocks and shoals. The true test of character and courage is to be able to keep an even keel upon stormy seas. Now we are ready to depart and although we are not sure of the future we are eager to set forth. We hope to be able to send out the life line to some shipwrecked sailor who is less fortunate in life's preparation than we, and help him bring his ship safely to harbor. We will enter many ports where we will exchange cargoes consisting of our talents, skills, and knowledge with other personalities: thereby, we. as young American citizens, hope to be better fitted to take our positions in the society in which we live. To many, our tomorrows will bring new and un- expected experiences. Our group will soon be divided: some going on to higher education: some entering the industrial world: and still others becoming home- makers. Whatever route we take, we hope eventually to steer our ships safely into the harbor of success so that we may in this way show our appreciation to our parents. our teachers, and the school for their help. We hope when we reach the final Haven of Rest to hear the Master say, Well done. thou good and faithful servant. Again we extend to you our welcome and appreciation for what your presence here tonight means to us, the class of 1940, lVlARGUERITE MCDONALD Salutatorian 2I FOO-I OSOPI-IY SEN1oRs SEZ- Favorite Color-Blue Favorite Song-Stardust Favorite Book-Gone VJith the Wind Favorite Actor--Richard Green Favorite Actress-Bette Davis Favorite Orchestra-Kay Kyser Favorite Radio Program-Your Hit Parade You 'RE SOMEBODY IF- You re a senior You get in a class play You think so l You can get on the right side of all the T.

CLASS PROP!-I ECY Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North America and all the ships at sea. l.et's go to press. A Flash! Smorgasbord! Moronia! Premier John Kauszler, American-born dictator of this country, is reported fleeing to France following a revolt in the streets of the capital city. Kauszler, a Radical Socialist, is said to have left the U. S. A. for Moronia when his love was spurned by Dorothy Rensenhouse. Three Rivers, Michigan, kindergarten teacher. Flash! Washington! D. C.! President Tobin's nomination of Attorney General Lawrence Snell to the Supreme Court was approved by the Senate last nightjdespite the protests of Senators Eugene Ruggles and Everett Barger, both from Snell's home state, Michigan. Truly, a man is not without honor save in his own country. Ladies and gentlemen! Last Wednesday night, through the efforts of Miss Kathleen Brown, editor of Madame, a benefit concert was given, the proceeds of which were to be donated to the lmpoverished Musicians' League. Of the dozens of world-famous musicians who are widely publicized for their char- ity, only three consented to appear. They were: Margaret Welty and Wayne St. John of the Metropolitan and violinist Jascha Spadaforski. Dots and dashes and lots of flashes from border to border and coast to coast: I-Iollywood! California! Producer Jack Kennedy of Celestial Studios has signed accordionists Rose Torri and Frances Steubgen to appear in Glamour- Boy Gordon Thor's next musical, yet unnamed. Thor, by the way, has two lawsuits on his hands. Interior decorator Mildred Ringle wants the California courts to agree with her that Thor should pay her 310,000 for decorating his Beverly Hills home. Meanwhile, Mrs. Thor is spending her six weeks Nevada residence period at the Van Over and Ernest Bar X Dude Ranch, only 20 minutes from Reno, rates S15 and up. CS1ightly more with horses.j Flash!

New York! New York! Keith Swett, butler to Dr. and Mrs. Paul Warner Cshe the former Barbara Dougherty of the filmsj, has been elected president of the committee in charge of the annual Maid's and Butler's Ball. And now Miss Joan Warner for Jensen's Lotion. I'll be back in a flash with a flash! Ladies, would you like to have soft, attractive hands? Then try the hand lotion that millions of American women prefer. ln the past week alone we have received thousands of letters from women in all walks of life: office workers like Marie Young, secretary to engineer Robert Sayers of New York, Zelda Walls, of Chicago, Mary Sangalli, of Philadelphia, Donna Crook, Marie Knachel, Pauline Lampen, Marilee Ohlin, and Florence Sangalli: nurses. like 2LL ctfiss PIQQPHECY Harriet Smith, Mary Houghtaling, Bette Rommel. and Mary Rader of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit: teachers, such as Marjorie Baldwin of Boston, Marion Holtom of St. Louis, and Mildred Bent of Cleveland: beauty operators like Eileen Ryan and Jeanne Barnhart of New York, and Myrtle Dudley and Beverly Foster of Hollywood: women like cinema star, Thelma Weber, Olympic cham- pion, Naomi Hill. and pianist Marjorie Mansberger, whose hands need special care. And ladies, Jensen's Lotion is now doubly soothing to your hands, because of a special new ingredient discovered by Professor Morris Cooper of the Jensen laboratories. This new substance is used in many hospitals and has been approved by Dr. Cameron Vluerful, president of the American Medical Asso- ciation. Now back to Paul French and the Jensen's Journal: Flash! New York! New York! A committee of famous artists headed by illustrator Jack Armstrong, has just selected model Erika Skibbe to reign as queen of the forthcoming Artists' and Models' Ball. Washington! D. C.! Representative Loren Carpenter, Ind., Mich., has received thousands of letters from farmers all over the country approving his speech in Congress last week in which he demanded farm legislation. The West- phal and Westfall Tractor Company has sent Argie Blanchard and Charles Hagenbuch to the capital to discuss the issue with Carpenter. Oddities in the News! Three Rivers! Michigan! Funeral Director Philip Halverson has become a skeptic. Last Friday he was summoned to the home of one Robert Cook, whose wife had tearfully informed the undertaker that she was a widow. Imagine his surprise when he was greeted at the door by Cook himself, who had been aroused from deep slumber by the ambulance. Cook, the world's champion sleeper, won the title from Charles Smith in a slumber marathon last March. And now for the mail as the time will allow: Miss Marguerite MacDonald, Detroit, Michigan: You are right, not your sister, Jean. Barbara Malcolm, the designer, is with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. I am flattered to hear that you recommend my broadcast to your pupils. Mrs Priscilla Butler, Centreville, Michigan: If you want to see a good show during your stay in New York, by no means should you miss Madeline Lyster's smash hit, The Girl from Triple Cricks, with Marge Chamberlain, Horace Hudson, George Vv'altz, and Joan Payne. !'Miss Kathaleen Lennon, Three Rivers, Michigan: Carrol Riggs, the cine- mactor, is not married. You may obtain an autographed photograph by writing to him in care of Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, California. And that, ladies and gentlemen, winds up another Jensen's Journal until next Sunday night. Until then, and with lotions of love, I remain your New York correspondent, Paul French, who hopes . .

Blend them, and you have Blue Hawaiian Moonlight, the 1940 Prom. presented by the Juniors. The gym was magically transformed into a native paradise. A big yellow moon showed through the stately palms which surrounded the dance floor and a mystical air was lent by the blue-purple shadows. The soft native music plus a little swing was furnished by Charlie Rogers and his orchestra. The guests were adorned with leis as favors and the programs were in keeping with the theme. Many .luniors and Seniors attended the Prom and had a marvelous time. Besides the Prom. the highlight of the year. the .luniors presented 'Spring Fever, a three act comedy. which was a big success.

N M 3 x FOOTBALL Seventy candidates answered Coach PelIegrom's nrst call for practice. Of this number, ten were veterans. Hot weather slowed down pre-season practice, but the cats rounded into fair shape for their first game. The Wildcats won their First game of '39 under the lights on Coldwater's field. It was Beef lVIcCally's educated toe and Ken Baker's plunging which gave Three Rivers a 9 to 0 lead. In their second game of the season the cats met Grand Haven. A Pursley to Potter pass netted 6 points for the locals and as the game ended the score stood 6 all. The third game ended in a scoreless tie as the Wildcats journeyed to Dowagiac to play under lights. Perhaps the greatest feat of the game was Ken Baker's goal saving tackle in the closing quarter of the game. The locals' next game was against an almost perfect football machine, State High of Kala- ma7oo. With a big line and a cagy set of backs, they ripped through the locals for three touchdowns. When the final gun sounded the score read State High 21-Three Rivers 0. A supposedly underdog South Haven team came over here and ran roughshod over local opposition. They came from behind in the third quarter to score two touchdowns which spelled victory for them after Three Rivers had grabbed six points in the initial stanza on a ine run by Ike Sloan. Joe Starzevski was the big defensive gun in the game, In their next encounter the locals won a I6 to O victory from the Howe Military Cadets. but the victory didn't come easily. Pursley scored the first touchdown for the cats when he ran back a punt 35 yards. In the second half Jim Drumm and Bob Sayers broke through the Howe line to nab the kicker behind his own goal line. Ike Sloan grabbed a Howe pass and went 25 yards for the second touchdown. When Three Rivers played Sturgis there, they were defeated in the thriller of the season. Ken Baker did the actual scoring after the play had been set up bv a beautiful pass from Pursley to Roberts. Sloan and Baker were great on power plays. When the game ended the score stood Sturgis 7, Three Rivers 6. Under the lights at Niles, Three Rivers retained the peace pipe for the third consecutive year by defeating a stubborn Niles Club by the score of 14 to 6. Pursley, Sloan. Baker, and Roberts led the attack, Baker and Roberts scoring touchdowns. Nine Seniors--Captain Biffi' Potter, Jim Drumm, Bob Sayers. Charles Van Zile, 'iRed Starzevski. Horace Hudson, Claus Pursley. Ox Barger. and Jimmy Curtis all said farewell to high school football at the final gun of the Niles game. The Seniors throughout the year- acquitted themselves well and old T. R. was mighty sorry to see them go. Varsity letters were awarded to the following: Captain B. W. Potter, Everett Barger, Richard IVIcCally, Charles Henke, Jim Drumm. Robert Thompson, Johnny Martin. Tom Monroe, Leonard Cook. Robert Morris. Robert Sayers, Charles VanZile, Joe Starzevski, Horace Hudson, Robert Evans. Harold Roberts, Bob Hughes, Clauzell Pursley, Richard Lane, Paul Sloan, Jim Curtis, Kenny Baker, and Donald Coney. The l939 football season was a success, in that it produced several outstanding grid stars. The highest honors were taken by three seniors: Capt. Biff Potter was placed at end position on the All Southwestern team and received honorable mention on the All Conference team. Claus Pursley, halfback, and Huddy Hudson, Center, were placed on the Hrst team in the All Conference selections. Kenny Baker and Beef lVIcCally were placed at fullback and tackle respectively on the All Conference second team. Ike Sloan, elected captain for the '4O season, was given honorable mention. The All Conference teams are selected by the coaches in the Big Seven Conference. 38 FGGTBALI. Top Row, Cleft to rightl Coach King. Leonard Cook, Bob Thompson, Don Coney. Dick Lane, Coach Pellegrom.

Their first game, with Dowagiac, ended in a scoreless tie. They next clashed with State High of Kalamazoo and won l2 to 6. They dropped their third game, against Marcellus Varsity, 12 to O. The Sturgis Club was the next victim, losing to the locals, l2 to 0. In their last game of the season, the locals lost to Niles 7 to 6.

They won 5 games and dropped 9. Coach King developed two players who came to the varsity near the end of the year and made good as regulars. This somewhat weakened the reserves but they fought hard and gamely throughout the season. Those boys receiving letters at the end of the season were: Leroy Tomlinson.

Coach Pellegrom kept searching for a combination which would click but his efforts were apparently useless. Three Rivers opened its season against Lakeview of Battle Creek. a new team on the Wildcats schedule. The game went to Lakeview Zl to l8. Fitch led the scoring for the locals with ten points. The cats second game, at Coldwater. was won by the Twin Valley Team 25 to 21. The first conference game of the year was won by Niles 26 to 22 after Three Rivers lost a lead which they had built up during the first half of the game. ln their next game the XVildcats,lost to Sturgis 34 to 2l. The Sturgis crew got hot in the third stanza and piled up such a lead that the cats never caught up with them. Nyle Miller. substitute guard, led local scorers with 8 points. The second conference game. played at Dowagiac, saw the locals come out on the short end of the 27 to 25 score. State High 36. Three Rivers l8. read the score after the locals went to pieces before a taller. more experienced team. . The good news from over there? ln a return match with Lakeview, the cats won 36 to 32 to break a six game losing streak. Lanky John Carroll led the local scoring with 12 points. The 38 Big Seven champions from South Haven journeycd here to win 34 to 31 over a hard fighting local team. Bob Fitch. sophomore forward. scored I8 of the locals' 3l points. Our second game with Niles ended in defeat when the opposing club put on a hot spurt in the final minutes of the game to nose out the locals 33 to 26. This was the last high school cage game for Captain Paul French and Biff Potter. The State High game went to State High 46 to 34. The cubs piled up a lead during the Hrst half and although the cats came back fighting they were unable to catch the fast fading State team. The cats second game with Sturgis saw the local cagers at their worst. When the final gun sounded the score stood 38 to 16 in favor of Sturgis. ln their next game the locals played nip and tuck ball with Dowagiac but in the final minutes of play the Indians rung up 8 points to win 38 to 30. The locals' game with Coldwater ended disastrously for T. R. After the cats had tied the game up at the half. the Coldwater team went on to win 29 to 24. Nick Beam, foremost referee in Michigan, worked the varsity contest. In the last game of the season. Three Rivers lost to the South Haven Peaches 28 to 25. This gave the Peaches the conference title. ln the district play-off at Sturgis, the Wildcats went out in what might he called a blaze of glory. Although they lost to Sturgis 29 to 28 they put up the best fight of the season, possibly with the exception of the second Lakeview game. The boys receiving Varsity awards at the end of the season were: Captain Paul French, Biff Potter, Claus Pursley. Charles Withers. Paul Sloan, Bob Thompson, Harold Roberts. Nyle Miller. Bob Fitch.

At the beginning of the season the tracksters were greatly handicapped by improper training facilities as the track was flooded for the first two weeks of the season. With such a set-up the lack of pre-season training was greatly noticeable as the team journeyed to Niles to be defeated there in a drizzling rain. Despite the 75 lf3 to 28 213 point score the team showed much potential ability. Undaunted, the Wildcats prepared for their meet with Kalamazoo Central. The class A boys took all first places and conceded the locals but four second places. With two weeks of practice our morale once more increased as we made ready to meet the Dowagiac Indians and the South Haven Peaches. South Haven forfeited and Dowagiac won by a score of 691,Q to 3416. The Conference and Regional meets, both held at Dowagiac, saw Three Rivers place fourth and fifth respectively. Ike Sloan and Harold Roberts, both Sophomores, qualified for the State Meet where Sloan vaulted his way to fifth place. Sloan was also high scorer of the season with a total of 23 points. Nine of the eleven letter winners are returning this spring which indicates a strong '40 team. Those receiving varsity letters in the final assembly were: Jim Curtis, Clauzell Pursley, Harold Roberts, 'Ike Sloan, John Carroll, Dick Lane, Roy Singer. Bob Sayers, Harley Friend, Milton Young and Richard McCally. Friend. Young, and Singer were lost through graduation. Jim Curtis was elected Honorary Captain at the close of the season.

Large enthusiastic crowds witnessed each night's battles. Bud Moran, Carlton Snow and Bob Van Horn, along with Sammy Hagerman, the third man in the ring, acted as judges in the fights. Faculty mem- ber Don King handled the mike and did a swell job of announcing. Dr. J. H. O'Dell examined each boy before he entered the ring. The Three Rivers High School boxing tournament is the largest in South- western Michigan. perhaps the largest in the state. All proceeds taken in go to support other high school sports. The boys are divided into two classes, the novice fighters, who have never boxed before, and the open division, for boys who have been in former tourna- ments and who have had some ring experience. Ciold medals are given to the winners and silver medals to the runner up in each class.

A little more experience should develop a team that will give other clubs a hard battle in years to come. The squad played matches with Niles, Dowagiac, and State High of Kala- mazoo, all members of the big tive conference. The squad worked hard all season and with most of the boys returning a top notch 4O team should result. The team lost only two members through graduation: Bob Thompson, singles star. and Ernest Templin, a doubles player. Varsity letters were awarded to the following: Bob Thompson, Phil Halverson, Don Warner, Paul Warner, Bob Fitch, Ernest Templin, Don Poffenberg, and Gordon Thor. The golf team of 39 , coached by Larry Fleming, played matches with Niles, State High and Dowagiac. Although the Cats lost all of these matches the boys gained much experience and with three of the four boys returning the team should do better in 4O. ln the Conference meet held at Dowagiac the locals placed fifth. Leroy Tomlinson, Tom Monroe, George Ernest. and Louis Panczyk were awarded varsity letters, 149 -wdfdwv Cs.

The alirmative team members were Morris Cooper, Bob Stowe, Frank Del.ong, and Carol Bromley, while the negative consisted of Mary Hough- taling, Shannon Cox and Mary Alice DeLong. The debators themselves favored the negative side of the question. Our debates were an interesting experience. As an argument against the railroads. our affirmative team used this story: Travel hours on the airlines are whiled away swiftly dreaming about that pretty stewardess but who would ever pass his time thinking of kissing the porter.

The above picture is that of the capable Junior Reflector staff. This year for the first time in the history of the school paper the selected staff assumed full responsibility for the entire year in preference to just the first semester. With the cooperation and aid of Mr. William Shumaker. the eleventh grade journalism classes have been able to have a page in the city paper each Saturday. This page is called The Junior Reflector. The staff consists of Mary Congdon as Editor-in-chief-poor Mary, each week she counts and recounts the articles. and searches for new items so we would have a full page. Ulafern Larrance is associate editor. Ulafern racked her brain night after night thinking of a suitable subject for an editorial. Whoops!-the flash that just whizzed by was Luther L. Warner. handing in his sports news. and at the last minutef Luther is boys' sports editor. Bob Springer is headline editor. With the help of Betty Kleinhuizen the two managed to put over some very clever headlines-Eleanor Peeke can be seen reading exchange papers, again and again. What is she looking for? She's hunting articles to put in her exchange column4 Here, There and Everywhere. The ward reporters are Ruth Timm. Ellen Weberg. Roscoe Longenecker and Dick Schoch. Robert May and Jimmy Niccum are co-graphic editors. Oh. yes. and speaking of pictures there's Charles Henke. cartoonist. sketching a cartoon for next week's paper. Chuck sure has clever ideas when it comes to drawing pictures. Joyce Harding's column of wit and humor Around and About proved to be a great favorite among the students. Here's a person who asks questions constantly. She isn't really that curious. You see it's her assignment. I'm referring to Patricia Treesh Baum. our Inquiring Reporter. There's our Society Editor. Shannon Cox. and Literary Editor. Jeanne Eosdick, conversing with Betty Clayton. girl sports editor. Miss Dorothy Metzger and Miss Mildred Buys are our advisors-Barbara Fausnaugh and Jean Dock are copy readers. These girls check all articles for mistakes before sending the news to press. Included with the regular staff we have many assistants who helped considerably. The assistants are Beverly Reed. Bob Thompson. Robert Stowe. Mary Alice DeLong, Rose Binando. and Eleanor DeLong. ln January 1940 many half year students entered the eleventh grade. To the staff more assis- tants were added. They were Jack Hack, Rodney Everhart. Joan Thomas. Lois Burlew, Mildred Joyce. Edward Ciarn. Clara Polas and Marie Drumm. Words can't express our appreciation and thanks we wish to extend to those who helped make our school paper for the years l97r9-1940 such a huge success.

It was the day before Commencement at Brookfield College, and Howard Brant was really worried. Professor Bean had been definite-Howard was going to Hunk biology, which meant no graduation. The trip to Europe Aunt Maud had promised was now a lost cause. But Howard's friends do not let him down. Through three acts of explosions. fainting spells, kidnappings, chasing bugs, and phoney death-scenes, Ed, Vic. Lou, Anne, Vivian, and even Aunt Maud carry on to effect Howard's gradu- ation and a new building for the college. We .thought it was one of the funniest plays in a long time. Mr. DeLong did a nice Job of directing, too. 59 SENIOQ PLAY CAST Grandpa Perry - - George NValtz Huggins - - - Keith Swett Grandma Perry - - -ldnel King Vicky Randolph - Madeline l-yster .lohn Appleby - - Carrol Riggs Keats Perry - Gordon Thor Priscilla Morley - - - Thelma Weber Valerie XVhitman - Dorothy Rensenhouse Tootsie Bean - - - Mildred Ringle Butcher Boy Bean ---- B.

The Girl Reserve Club is an active organization for junior and senior girls. Our aim is to find and give the best. ' The club is a part of the Y and, more or less of a charitable organization, but there's certainly nothing one sided about us. In aiding the social whirl. we sponsor an annual Christmas Dance, and an all school party, usually with the Hi-Y, and our gorgeous spring formal, where all the spring zephyrs come in all their glory. For service, we give a Christmas Party for poor children, Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, and usually support the city nurse in some project. To gain contact with other Girl Reserves we go to district rallies, send two girls and an advisor to mid-winter conference, and a girl to Camp Cavall for a week in the summer. To learn more of the ways of the world and to be able to hear the experiences of others we sponsor speakers throughout the year. We really are a well-rounded bunch of girls and we really have fun and I do mean fun! ou I-II-Y CLUB WP' President - - - Paul Warner Vice-President - - Jack Kauszler Secretary - - - Horace Hudson Treasurer - - - Frank Spadafore Advisors - Mr. Blank, Mr. Rand Representatives to State Camp-Paul Warner and Jack Kauszler The Hi-Y Club is a national organization affiliated with the Y.

The platform of the club is: Clean speech, clean scholarship, clean living, and clean sports. The club meetings are' held at the boys' homes every Thursday evening at which time prominent citizens come in and talk on important subjects. At other meetings topics of special interest to the boys are discussed. The club season was highlighted by numerous banquets and dances. One of the outstanding beneficial projects was the Hi-Y aid to the Cioodfellow Christmas Project. Once a month the group attends some local church. The club in a body attended the Older Boys' Conference at Flint, and two district meetings at Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo. 65 7 G 'Bl .S SPGQTS CLUB ,f 1 ' - , H OlfI'3lClZRS President ---- Naomi Hill Vice-President Joan Warner Secretary - - Doris Crose Treasurer - Doris Willemin Advisor Miss Hanifen Strike three! -l'You're out - Hooray a homer!

You see. in order to be a member of the varsity club a boy must have earned at least one varsity letter in a major sport. This year the club has taken upon its broad shoulders the tremendous task of developing community singing Within the school. We also sponsored an all school party.

For practical experience the girls plan and give a May Morning Breakfast for their mothers. they entertain the F. F. A. Club, the Constantine Home Economics Club and the High School Faculty. Throughout the year each member has put forth every effort to maintain the meaning of Home Economics and to establish even higher the prestige of the club. 68 INDUSTRIAL ARTS OFFICERS President -------- James Curtis Vice President ------ Millard Springer Secretary and Treasurer ----- Allan Hay Advisors - Mr. Handley, lVlr. Atkins, Mr. Cutler The machine shop class in our high school is a trade class. All other classes in the department may be classified as Industrial Arts. Thus, we have the terms that our department should be called Industrial Arts and Vocational Education. The Industrial Arts Club is an organization of boys who are enrolled in either the Industrial Arts or Vocational Department. The club was organized with the expressed idea of helping students in the department with their daily work. The organization maintains an insurance fund out of which they pay any doctor bill or hospital bills up to S25 for any member who is injured while working in the department. On February 23, the Industrial Arts Club sponsored the A'Patriotic Dance. The gym was decorated with a crepe paper false ceiling representing the Amer- ican Flag. Novel games were played. This dance was rated one of the most successful of the year. Each year the club sponsors an educational shop trip. This year the boys visited the Ford Motor Company. It is believed that these shop trips give the boy lirst hand information about shop methods and shop life in modern in- dustry. This is the iirst year that the Industrial Arts boys have had a club pin, the hammer, compasses, rule, and gear are inculcated in the monogram on the pin with UND. ARTS CLUBI Written across the bottom in raised letters. The pin is made of green gold, and is very attractive. 69 Ul5l4lCliRS President f f f l,oren Carpenter Vice President - ljrnest Capron Secretary - - - Charles Westphal Treasurer Vernon Castle Reporter Tom Roberts Advisor Ralph Lillie The Future Farmers of America is a national organization founded in 1017 under the National Vocational Education Act.
