Among other things, members learn through active participation to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell co-operatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themselves, and to assume civic responsibi- lity.

The purpose of the club is to referee gym class games, usher for sports events, lead squads in physical education ac- tivities, and help in setting up and taking down gym equipment. The club also helps the instructor establish safe habits in gym. The Future Teachers' movement grew out of the Horace Mann Centennial in 1937, when it was established by the NEA Assembly as a cooperative project of NEA and its affiliated state and local associations. Our high school club is an organi- zation in which the student may explore his own abilities and interests related to opportunities in teaching. A good teacher requires physical vitality, mental vigor, moral discrim- ination, wholesome personality, help- fulness, knowledge, and leadership. All students interested in teaching in grades 10, 11, and 12 may join the club. Carole Landowne is the treasurer and Patricia Kedrick is the secretary.

Each student learns at a rapid rate and retains what he learns longer by use of audio-visual aids. The projectionist helps to make this possible with the part he has in this program. Each day he sets up the projectors for the day and runs them when necessary. With the help of the projectionists we have a large program in our school system.

It is a creative sport which developes individual initiative, mental alertness, physical toughness, body control, courage, and physical efficiency. The competitive matches are divided into weight classifications which permit each individual to compete against an opponent of corres- ponding weight. The advisor is Mr. Blair Stewart. Junior High Basketball Team The Junior High team finished the season with an impressive nine wins and five losses. Our team also won section two honors in the Tri-County league. Our hopes for the league title were lost when we went against Wampum and found a strong section one rival. Junior High will lose through height to the Junior Varsity but will build a team around speed and ball handling for the coming year. FIRST ROW: Mr. Powell, M. Kralevich. SECOND ROW: W. Clinger, L.

The purpose of the case was to determine if Karen Andre had murdered Bjorn Faulkner, or if he had committed suicide. An unusual twist was added when the jury was selected from the audience. No one knew the verdict until the jury announced its decision. The verdict was guilty, and Karen Andre was sentenced. Director of the play was Mrs. Margaret Hood. Student director was Fred Farri- mond. Prison Matron, , , Baliff ...... .... Judge Heath ........ District Attorney Flint . Defense Attorney Stevens Clerk of Court ........ Karen Andre . .
