THE RACQUET The Hiqh School Teachers' Traininq Club OFFICERS Carrol Wlcigcl ............. ....... P resident Fred Dickcmann .. .,.... Vice-President Anna Svcc ....... Secretary-Treasurer Xhlinona Smith .......,....... Social All students in the course for the preparation of high school teachers automatically become members of the High School Teachers' Training Club. The club began its activities this year with a membership of one hundred and thirty-five students. The very size of the club was an indication of the success of the organi- zation for the coming year. The initiation party that was given during the second week of school of the fall term was a very enjoyable event for the old members, while the prospective members found the initiation stunts just embarrassing enough to be pleasing. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing: refreshments were served between dances. Late in the second semester the members enjoyed a Weiner and marshmallow toast on one of the nearby bluffs. The com- mittee in charge showed its ability in preparing the food for the large family. The organization began the year in a very interesting and active manner, but was greatly handicapped by the lack of time for meetings. The group is rapidly becoming one of the largest in the school. lt has greatly aided in school activities, especially during the Homecoming celebration. As the further introduction of a four year course ought to advance the importance of this club, next fall promises to open a banner year for this organization. Q E
