Our first meeting was held in the early part of October, when we elected officers and decided to have dues of 25c a semester. The club is composed of about thirty-flve girls. Members whose pictures do not appear above are: G. Witcraft, A. R. Gross, H. Gorsline, E. Larson, L. Wise, V. Noggle, H.Verger- ont, B. Weller, L. Jacobson, A. Surenson, T. Methum, P. Slade, H. Baldwin, E. Stoda, M. Smith and E. N elson. The girls took a great interest in making the club a success. A twr- nament was well under way when Miss Enckhausen met With her acci- dent. The girls were divided into groups of twos, the winner of each group playing the winner of another, until the semi-finals were reached. Since the game was new to most of the girls, club activities were suspended until Miss Boschert, our new gym instructor, assumed all the gym duties. We are very pleased with our tennis courts, located east of the school building. Although last fall there was only one court, we now have two ready for use. A tournament will be played this spring, along with our reg- ular club work. There will surely be more competition in the spring tour- nament as the girls have played a great deal since the fall tournament. We hope to increase the success of the Tennis Club in the future. huh

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

This is one of the most active organizations in the Senior High School. It was formerly known as the Girls' Agricultural Club but it was renamed by Vivian Felix in 1925. , Among the things Idone or sponsored by the club, these are the most important. Gladys Tr'aastad, Clara Solverson, Pearl Everson, Helen Solverson, Helen Gorsline, Lucille Wise, Cachel Dregne, and Svlvia Brudos represented the club at the Short Course at Madison in J une, 1925. Several members attended the Leadership camp at Kilbourn in August, where they were instructed in leadership and in various sorts of craftsmanship. At the State Fair we were represented by a clothing demonstration team consisting of Sadie Adams, Mearl Cunningham, and Sylvia Brudos. This team scored among the five high although we do not know the exact rating. Individual honors, however were won by Sylvia Brudos, who ranked third in the style show and who became a member of the all star demonstration team for 1925. In the fall of 1925 we had a booth at the County Fair and set a standard which the club in the future will have to work to uphold. Our style show was a great success, partly due to the wonderful cooperation re- ceived from the merchants of Viroqua. The real purpose of the style show was to raise money to pay the club debt, but aside from that the girls pro- fited a great deal from it. Honor pins were awarded to Ruby Wilson for a canning and poultry project, and to Sylvia Brudos for clothing. She also received a trip to the -42..
