fZ.Jth-cfc Cute, yes, but can she cook? lf she belongs to Ti-Hi-EC sonny, you're getting a double feature, for she can cook, and her appearance runs a high batting average to boot. She is a product of Ti-Hi-Ec's Better Living Through Home Economics theory. Good grooming and personality development are two more doctrines of Ti-Hi-EC. By the way, Ti-Hi-Ec stands for Tipton High Economics in case your little brain couldn't solve the puzzle, It was just created in 1931 under the name Home Economics Club of Tip- ton High School . This was such a mouthful of mush and the cause of so many twisted tongues that when, in 1932 somebody stuttered Ti-Hi-EC from the jumble, it wasa blessed day, everybody rejoiced, and the club officially took that name. On guard, each noon hour, over the nourishing angle of the lunches eaten daily here at school, stands one of thet36 Ti-Hi-Ec'ers always ready, willing, and able to sell you a bottle of chocolate milk so you will bewhealthy, tand Ti-Hi-EC will be Wealthy, but that is beside the pointl. Delegates were sent to the state Home Ezonomics convention this year and they brought back many new ideas which were soon put into operation: for instance, having a Hat Contest between the girls clubs, in order to promote inter-organization interest. Every- body got a big kick out of trying to design their hats and it did much to bring about the fulfillment of its purpose. Incidentally, the way some hats looked will not be discussed at this time! Members always have a big time at the club's annual St. Patrick's Day Dance, and of course at the picnic for prospective new members. Certainly this year was no exception, probably due, to a great extent in having Mrs. Nash for sponsor. The supposed ambition of every single one of the 26 Future Farmers of America is to own a farm. There is a trick to running any farm, let alone an A-l farm like these fellows are going to run. F. F. A. was instituted in Tipton High in 1935, one chapter in a national organization of, by, and for boys studying vocational agriculture in public schools. With Mr. Oyler's help they try to bring about better leadership, sportsmanship, and citizenship, as well as improved agriculture. One of the most original of all the annual rough initiations was blighted upon the new F. F. A'ers. Congratulations to you F. F. A.! As one might guess they outdid themselves eating at a Wiener roast this spring. lt was said they scuttled enough to feed 5 cows. Speaking of cows, if you asked any cow of your acquaintance her opinion, she'd probably say she'd rather be owned by a Future Farmer of America than anybody else! jr. Wudica e Well, my boy, if she's musically inclined she's probably a member of Ir. Musicale. lf you spot a little silver note adorning her sweater, you may rest assured that she is. Ir. Musicale was brought into being in 1933 and has been on the march ever since. It now is made up of 30 girls, all musicians of sorts, who like to flip their lips about the musical world. Naturally, 30 girls, aided and abetted by Miss Smith, do many other things beside study the classics. They held an Autumn Hop , a Valentine's Day formal dance, a highly successful rummage sale: honored their mothers with a tea on Mother's Day: literally wound up moaning under the table at their annual Christmas Pitch-In thaving first com- pletely cleared the top of itl, and followed this unladylike procedure with carolling for sick people, which is another annual, and much appreciated, activity. They are also quite proud of the War Bond they bought in the Fourth War Loan Drive. Not content with just one chance to stuff themselves to the gills, they held another pitch-in at the end of the year, when it wouldn't make much difference how sick they became, for they would have three months to get over it.
