LATIN CLUB On June 24 to 26 the National Convention of the Junior Classical League was held at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Two freshmen, Angela Ehrenfried and Arlene Brown attended this convention. They had an informative and enjoyable time. In September the 39 members of this year’s Junior Classical League met at Ward Park for its first gathering which was a -picnic. In October the sophomores entertained the freshmen at a Halloween Party. Prizes were given for the best dressed masqueraders. November marked formal initiation of the freshmen into the Junior Classical League. This was an impressive candle light ceremony. When the initiation was over the sophomores entertained the freshmen with a play about Roman school boys having to learn English. Refreshments were served later. On December 19 the Junior Classical League had a Saturnalia party at Mrs. Hensel’s home. The members had to perform charades to get their gifts from under the Saturnialia tree. Christmas carols were sung in Latin. All in all the Junior Classical League members are having an enjoyable year.

There are 39 members in the Versailles Chapter of Future Farmers of America. The Parliamentary Procedure team went to New Madison last December and won a gold rating. The Versailles Chapter promotes annually a Father and Son Livestock Judging Contest, also a beef barbecue, and chapter pest war contest. Each summer some boys from the Versailles Chapter go to F. F. A. camp. This camp is located on Leesville Lake, which is about 250 miles northeast of Versailles. The boys all enjoy themselves in sports as well as educational activities. The F. F. A. and F. H.

The officers of the Versailles Chapter are as follows: President, Carl Gigandet; Vice President, Robert Epperly; Secretary, Orville Bohman; Treasurer, Allen Brandt; Reporter, Dale Hart; Sentinel, Jim Kremer. —10—
