HOME-ECONOMICS CLUE The Hone-Economics Club was reorganized at the beginning of this school year. The forty members elected the following officers. President-----------------------Elizabeth Oldenburg Vice-President---------------Evelyn Ehlo Secretary---------------Elizabeth Ender Treasurer-------------------Erma Tauscher Gifts were exchanged at a Christmas Party held Dec. 19, 1954. The entertainment included games and a fine program. A fashion operetta, The Suzanne Shop ,was given to the public March 6. Every member took part in this operetta. The cast included: Madame Suzanne----------Lois Ann Johnson French Maid------------------Jane Leicht Eliza Jane---------------Lucille Storandt Mrs. Kipeak---------------Thelma Anderson Lenore Hipeak--------------Dolly Steenson Anne Hipeak---------------------Elizabeth Oldenburg The remaining members acted as models. Madame Suzanne explains to her niece, Eliza Jane that through the knowledge obtained by studying home Economics at school she har been able to open her dress shop. The Kipeaks—Mrs., Lenore, and Anne--are very disgusted with the shopping, but upon seeing the models of the Suzanne Shop , they immediately recover from fatigue and enter wholeheartedly into a vigorous campaign of buying. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Mr.Nelson has again undertaken tne introduction of something new; he has initiated a photography class. As the name suggests, the purpose of the class is to learn tne principles of photography-how to take pictures,how to develop negatives and prints, and to learn the chemistry which pertains to it. After having been given formulas, the nine members mix their own Chemical solutions. They first built pin-hole cameras by means of which they took time exposures. These they developed in the dark room which they, themselves, made and equipped so that at any time they might work at their prints. The students who are members of this class include: Stanley Christopnerson, Fay Cullman, Ralph Cullman, Albert Larsen, Norman Motchenbaker, Norman Nelson, Leonard Roselle, Henry Schmeckpeper, Bill Sylvester. After this class has had time to develop, big results will be expected. 28

FORENSICS The English courses, for an entire six weeks period,entered upon a new program. A Speech unit was conducted in all English classes in which every student studied one phase of Forensics. Five choices were offered: Extemporaneous Reading, Oratory, Extemporaneous Speaking, Humorous Declamation, Dramatic Declamation. Interclass contests were then held from which two students of each class were chosen in all the events to represent their class in the local contest; however, no student was compelled to speak at any more than the interclass contest. From the local contest.Raymond Diekroeger was chosen to represent the school at the Onalaska Coulee Conference Forensic Meet in Extemporaneous Speaking;Alice Griswold,in Dramatic Declamation; Richmond Griswold,in Oratory;Esther Hemker, in Extemporaneous speaking; Beatrice Hanson,in Humorous Declamation. Alice Griswold, who received first place, again spoke, this time representing the Coulee Conference at the La Crosse District Meet. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS FROM NOW - Continued from page 13 At the close of the opera I ran into my old friend Raymond Vick, who is feeling as spry as a cinch-hug in a glass of cider. He is running a dairy-farm near Philadelphia. As we were conversing about old times,we heard a great commotion in the street and upon looking, we saw thousands of people cheering that famous tight-rope walker and flag-pole sitter, Mr. Thomas Spacek. His Job seems to agree with him, for he has gained a bit of weight since I last saw him. We will pause briefly for station announcements. This is station WIND, operating on nine-hundred kilo-cycles. If you are interested in a square deal for everybody, vote for the Honorable Millman Mengelt for mayor of Philadelphia. Flash: Our old friend Lawrence (Swish) Miller,one-time playboy and now a ball player,has Just been bought by the Chicago Cubs for $75,000. He has been with the Giants for the last four seasons. He was quite a hero at the last world series games, striking out sixteen men in one game for the Giants. I suppose his catcher Kerby Lee,had something to do with his success. By the way.Ervin Elliot happens to be with the Cubs also as a bat boy! My old friend, Mr. Albert Blackburn, Senator from Wisconsin, tells me that the latest tea-party gossip has it that Miss Lois Ann Johnson is about to be married to some relative of the ball-playing Lawrence Miller. Here’s something for you ladies: Get your next permanent wave at Fanny Vogel’s Beauty Salon, whose v orst is the best’. Well,the clock tells me that my time is about up. I’ll be back with you tomorrow evening at this same time v ith some more gossip fresh from the bridge table. So long........ 27
