Eighteen members of last yearis club, with six recruits this year, make a wide-awake organiza- tion. The advisors are Rev. Davies, Rev. Harris and T.O.Mork. Supt. Ful- ton has been so loyal in his work with the club, so full of kindly interest and aglvice, that we want to here express our appreciation of the support he has glven us. The club gave an enjoyable party last year and the social committee has plans for a similar one during the second semester this year. Our meetings are held every other Wednesday noon and a committee of three members have charge of the dinner at each meeting. The boys are real caterers and serve and attend to the banquet duties in such an efficient manner that we feel we each deserve a full credit in Home Economics. Our club leader has made his name famous for the cocoa he makes. Most of our boys go to Phantom Lake to the two-week summer train- ing camp. Last year our club was represented by Carlyle McKibbin, who reported a most enjoyable time. The clubs in this district hold an annual conference each spring. Last year this conference was held at Sparta, but this year, we, ourselves, were hosts to a large group of boys from this district, and some of the state Y. M. C. A. officials from Milwaukee. -39e

The Booster Club, which was organized in 1923, consists of thirty- one members, elected by the student body. The main purpose of this or- ganization is to boost the various activities, which makes it very necessary that those chosen must, at some time or other, have proven their ability as leaders. OfIicers are elected at the starting of each year to lead this group. In order to get the best results, the club is divided into committees, consisting of people especially adapted to that sort of thing. The different committees with their chairmen are as follows: Financial, Eldon Hendrickson; Scholastic, Harold Buchanan; Ath- letic, Thorwald Sherry; Literary, Sarah Minshall; Social, Emma Williams . The work of the different committees is as follows: The financial committee takes care of all the money in the school; the Scholastic commit- tee averages report card marks each term and publishes the Honor Roll ; the Athletic committee takes charge of all the athletics and finances them; the Literary committee arranges for the speech work that is done in the Senior High, such as debate, declamatory, oratory, extemporaneous speaking and reading; the Social committee plans all school parties and social hours. To this last committee is to be given the credit of planningr one of the nicest parties ever given in our new High Schoolethe Football Banquet where the football V,s were awarded. With Mr. Fulton as the general advisor, this club has had the most successful year in its history, but we hope to make it more successful in the future. h38-

Last year a group of students who were interested in speech work organized a club called The Forum, All students wishing to take part in any speech contest must be members of this organization. Therefore it is from the members of the Forum that all speech contestants are chosen. The of- goersa for this year were elected at the close of last year. J . The first work taken up was debate. From thirty- three contestants, ,' 4eight were picked. They were: Harold Buchanan, Eldon Hendrickson, J ohn gixon, Cyrus Tollefson, Clayton Weavill, Anna Rose Gross, Marion Smith, nd Genevieve Tenney. These students started to work soon after Christ- J mas vacation and were ready for the first debate February 15. The Aflirm- ative team was defeated at Richland Center, but the N egative team won from the same city here. Since Mazomanie forfeited her debate to Viroqua, a debate was arranged with the Aiiirmative team from the LaCrosse Cen- tral high school, which we also won. As soon as the debate season was closed, the Forum took charge of the other preliminary contests. These contests were held in assembly dur- ing and after school. After the final contests sometime in April, V's will be awarded to winners in speech work, including debaters and other speakers. We, of the organization, feel proud of our talented members. To Miss Conrad we wish to express our heart-felt appreciation for her help. L40LL
