MARY GROSS CLUB OF FUTURE TEACHERS The Wisner Future Teachers Club was organized in September 1951. The members are students in the normal training classes and other high school stu- dents who plan to teach. This club is affiliated with the national organization which has headquarters in Washington D, C. The Wisner club charter has three gold seals for three years membership. The club was named in honor of Miss Mary Gross for her long service in the Wisner Schools. The formal initiation of six new members and installation of officers was held in September with Miss Gross as the installing officer. The projects chosen for this year include work as assistant librarians, cadet teachers in grade school, room decorations, school publicity in Whitaker's window, and the recruitment of members of the teaching profession. During National Education Week the group served tea for mothers and members of the faculty.

agzwlenf Counci This active group of students representing the entire high school student body undertook many projects this year. Besides sponsoring a twerp Week and dance, noon movies and clash day, the student council also sold pop, candy, and popcorn for the benefit of students who eat their noon lunches at school. 0I'l'Ll'l'lel C8 In the business like atmosphere of room three, sixty-six commercial stu- dents were taught typing! shorthand, and bookkeeping, and the down-to-earth speech and correct met ods of correspondence employed in the business world The objectives of the course were not only to master these skills, but also to give the student some understanding of, and preparation for, a successful ad- justment in the business and social world. Many are planning to base their careers on the comple commercial course that they are taking. Others are taking typing for personal use. The future teachers and vocational agriculture students find typing very beneficial in preparing themselves for the work they intend to do after graduation.

Gary Hansen Mary Marshall was certain that wealthy Aunt Emmy had never forgiven her for eloping with Harvey, whom Aunt Emmy considered a ver unsuccessful business man with a most unpromising future in butter and eggs. In spite ofyMary's glowing letters to her aunt as well as to a girlhood friend, Aunt Emmy remained adamant, until one day, without warning she suddenly announced that she was dropping in on Mary and Harvey for a short visit be- fore going abroad. She would be accompanied by Florence, another niece. Dismayed, Mary realized that it would now be necessary to display to Aunt Emmy's critical eye all the signs of affluence which she had been reporting by letter. These in- cluded not only elaborate household furnishings, but also a staff of servants, complete from butler to maid. Undaunted, she borrowed freely from Sylvia, her neighbor and close friend--but Sylvia had no butler or maid. The local employment agency was able to provide a maid, Stella, who proved to be more eager than intelligent. But the only candidate whom the agency could provide as a butler could not be employed because he seemed to be a crook. Accordingly, Mary proposed that her husband, Harvey, act as temporary butler since Aunt Emmy would be visiting her only a short time and had never seen Harvey. Harvey, reluctant at first, finally agreed. Then it developed that Aunt Emmy really wished to trans- fer certain property to Mary's infant son, and Harvey's signature was indispensable. Faced with the necessity of producing a husband upon short notice, Mary with unfailing ingenuity hit upon the plan of borrowing one of Sylvia's friends as her step-husband. Inevitably, complications resulted. Butler-husband Harvey objected to step-husband Jerry's attentions to Maryg the baby disappeared, Sylvia's silverware was stoleng Harvey was arrestedg and as a final blow, Florence discovered to her own horror and Mary's amazement that step- husband Jerry was her own fiance. Explanations were attempted but they seemed only to make a bad matter worse until at last Aunt Emmy stated that she had not been fooled for even one minute, for she had seen many pictures of Dr. Gerald Niles, otherwise known as Jerry, Mary's step-husband, and had recognized him immediately. Then it developed that the baby hadn't really been stolen--just mislaidg and by his own father at that! And so, after several hours of frantic intrigue, Mary's real husband was restored to his rightful place as head of the familyg Baby Willie was returned to his parents, Aunt Emmy bestowed some of her property upon Willie, thus indicating her forgiveness of his parents, Florence and jerry were reunited, and the play closed as the repentant Mary gave to the police her ovsm surprising version of Willie's kidnapping.
