This was accomplished by encouraging the entire membership to participate in science pro- jects or research papers. Many of the members represented the school at Science Fairs and other such functions. Group activities were also instigated to fur- ther this cause. Excursions such as ex- ploring the Whiterocks Cave and other trips were undertaken. The Science Club also sponsored their annual Mad Scientist Ball' which proved to be a big success through the efforts of the club members and Mr. Prince. OFFICERS: Mr. James Prince, Advisor.

Membership in the club is limited to students who are either taking German now or who have taken a year of German prior to this year. The club membership this year is about forty students. The club had a Sinterklaus dance and party at Christmas time and they also sponsored a school dance. A delicious banquet with an actual German menu and a movie made in Germany about German people were also part of their activities. Front row: Annette Parriette. Debbie Mecham. Linda Allen.

AlJean Snow The Future Homemakers of America was a very successful club at Union High this year. Members of the F.H.A. are girls interested in serving, cooking, homeliving and other aspects of homemaking. Through the united efforts of the of- ficers and Mrs. Leavitt, the advisor, many activities were planned and carried out. The mock election held in the fall was very successful. The F.H.A. also sponsored the Harvest Ball and the Traffic Dance in the fall. For spring activities the “Around The World Banquet was held with the theme country being Iran, and the annual Preference Ball which is a girls' choice dance being the main activities.

Each reporter has a beat and tries to keep it covered” for all news media. The Student Reunion has been printed downtown this year, but the journalists have also become acquaint- ed with thetechniqueof the mimeographed paper by each one publishing an individual one-edition newspaper under his own name with each being his own editor, sports reporter, feature writer, and com- plete staff for his own paper.

Michael Harrison’ A relatively new club at Union High School is the Friendship Club. This club has been organized for two years and has proved a great success. This year the club has tripled in size from thirty to nine- ty members. The club consists of forty-five pairs of one Indian student and one White stu- dent. The object of the club is to build a better relationship between Indians and non-Indians and to construct ties of friend- ship that will carry through to our adult lives. We have had various types of activities this year and we are anticipating a trip to Southern Utah during the summer. OFFICERS: Ruby Cuch, Secretary; Joe Pinnecoose. Historian.

Our purpose is to promote girls athletic activ- ities within our school, as well as competi- tion with other schools. We held a very successful basketball tournament within our school in October and November in which six teams participated. A track meet we held in the spring to which all high schools in our region were invited. We hope this year's activities will be just a beginning in the field of girls' athletic events at Union.
