The Journalism Club had an

March 31, in the high school
lunchroom. Approximately 3 5
people were present. Each mem

■ bring one guest, however all mem
bers were not present, since there
were several other activities on
the same night. Round dancing
and square dancing was enjoyed
by those present, and several
“acts” were given by some of the
members of the club, after which
refreshments were served. Tom

ceremonies.
Plans are in the making for an
“open house” in the near future,
where all the parents can attend
and have an opportunity to see
how the different classes are
taught. After this, lunch will be
served, and the event will be con
cluded with a field day. This will
consist of different athletic activ

dash, the running broad jump,
high jump, sack race, and many
other activities. The one which
was held last year was very suc
