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.

gi ,4 ,4 All gals of the athletic type, or who have fond hopes of someday falling into that extra-special cranny, are eligible for membefShiP in the Gir1'S A-ll'119TiC ASSOCKIUOH- When Wednesday night rolls around the CJYII1 is hOSi to 45 G-A-A-'GIS Wl'10 TICIVG the time of their lives playing volley-ball, kickbgll, Or indulging in SOIUS Other strenuous DUS- time such as tumbling. G.A.A. first appeared in T.Ii.S in 1938, bringing with ii good sportsmanship and an abundance of enthusiasm for girls 'sports. With Miss Cosand to lean on, they have achieved this to the Nth degree, building up their prOgrC1rI1 until if WCIS the best Yet. After enduring a stiff rough initiation the new members were rewarded with a party in the Home Ec. department where they were royally entertained and fed mountains of sandwiches, potato chips, pickles, and all such stuff as that there. A food market was next on the G.A.A. c alendar, followed by a 1-la1lowe'en party, a Sweater Swing after the Burris game, a Christmas party, and a riotous skating party at Elwood. All G.A.A. members could easily be spotted the day after this skating bout by their odd black and blue complexionsl Wonder why? Amid crepe paper and corsages they all celebrated a most successful year in the crowning glory of their annual gala Spring Dance, the pride and joy of Cr.A.A. Jw Every other Tuesday night 46 weary Hi-Y members trudge toward the school building. They slump down in their seats, waiting for Mr. Cline to arrive. Bells ring, horns blow, Michel enters, and promptly props his feet up on a desk as everyone takes a nap while the secretary reads the minutes. Following a lengthy session of jokes, all get down to business. If there is no business, they perk up and enjoy some sort of program. Ah, this is the lifel Hi-Y took a new lease on their own life this year: revived from the grave, routed out some new members and more vitamins, which all add up to a progressive organization. The local Hi-Y chapter originated in 1934, and has done its share in promoting clean living and clean athletics in our school ever since. Always up to something, they proved themselves worthy of their reputations by hav- ing a slam-bang affair in the form of a Weiner roast, besides joining with Sunshine in demonstrating how to have a somewhat quieter version of a good time at a spring dance. The school was happy to be able to welcome 1-li-Y back to the fold this year, for it has done much good in the past, and has continued to do so by quickly picking up where it left oft two years ago. The feminine half of T.l-l.S. was also very glad to see Hi-Y again, for what would they do without Hi-Y pins? SSS By her smile ye shall know her . Meaning, of course, a Sunshiner-a lassy whose good humor, cheerful spirit, and helping hand are well known to school and community. Sunshine is one organization that stresses the Golden Rule, and then actually practices what it preaches, which is quite something nowadays. It is the eldest of all our present school organizations, and is rightfully proud of its ancestry, dating back to 1927, and it's 81 members. Always right on the ball as far as helping is concerned, they got down to work right away, helping the new members to become miserable with a full night of rough initiation. Some evil spirit must have moved the little Sunbeams for they seldom have any but for- mal candle-light services. Tsk! Tsk! Bad influence somewhere! Sunshine held its own Vesper services at Christmastime at the Presbyterian Church with many members singing in the choir. The services were very impressive and were highly enjoyable-even the choir. Having a good time is also an important part of any Sunshine Society. Toward this end S. S. S. had a superb pitch-in with everybody pitching just gobs of food, in their own direction naturally. They also teamed with Hi-Y in giving a lovely spring dance, with Sunshiner's, formals, and Miss Foster floating all over the gym. A Sunshiner's smile is said to be quite infectuous, let's just hope everybody can pick up that beaming disease at some time or other.
