Hedrick Junior High
By Nancy Duncan
Under the sponsorship of
.the Future Homemakers of
America, a home economics
organization, a dinner was
given at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan.
20, in the Hedrick cafetor-
ium.
Each of the ninth grade
home economics students was
host to two guests who were,
for the most part, parents
and teachers. Dinners have
been given in past years, but
they were limited in number
of hosts and guests because
they were offered in the af
ternoon. The girls and their
instructor, Mrs. Dorothy
Sneed, concluded that by of
fering an evening dinner more
guests could be accommo
dated and, even more impor
tant, all of the home econom
ics class would be able to
give their meal at the same
time.
Each home economics class
is divided into kitchen units
of four girls, and each kitch
en unit was responsible for
the complete preparation and
serving of a dinner to .-his
guests. The dinner was held
in the cafetorium where each
kitchen unit had a table at
which guests were seated and
served.
. Sherry Lambert, FHA Pres-
Monday, January 26, 1959
ident, welcomed the guests (
and introduced speakers and
entertainers. Mrs. Owen Kun
kel, Jackson county PTA
president, gave a response,
and Miss June Wheaton, dean
of girls at Hedrick, spoke of
the values which a home eco
nomics class offers to stu
dents.
Sunny Gastineau presented
the after dinner speech which
she will give. at Linfield col
lege in February, and home
economics teacher Dorothy
Sneed spoke briefly. Barbara
Myers, Darelyn Huson, Jo
Ann Kingslien, Laura Rupert,
Midi Luther, and Ellen Mont
gomery wi tii -Martha Gifford
as narrator presented .a skit.
Interspersed throughout the
program were vocal offerings
by the teacher quartet whose
members are Carroll Graber,
John Drysdale, Ron Bartlett,
and Otis Swisher.
The student council, with
faculty opproval, has decreed
that students may enter the
school building before eight
during exceptionally cold
mornings. This privilege is
dependent upon student or
derliness in the , upper hall
adjacent to the office where
students will be allowed to
wait until eight when they
may go to lockers and rooms.
Second nine week final ex
aminations induced the theme,
"Final Fling", forthe eighth
grade dance. Dancing and en
tertainment coupled with the
heavy reception by the re
freshment bar were enjoyed
by the eighth-graders as they
sought relief from the press
of heavy examination sched
ule facing them during the
week of Jan. 26 to Jan. 30.
After coming from behind
in a game with Phoenix, the
eighth-graders eked out a 25
to 24 win which kept support
ers highly excited until the
final whistle.

ports on Communism also

unusual project was a record

taped by Allan Morse. To the
class it was rather astonish

type of propaganda used in
the Russian broadcasting of
news. This broadcast, which
was of the French election,
practically turned it into
victory for Russia.

Bufler Predicts
Strong Platform
Springfield, 111. 0IPD- Na
tional Committee Chairman
Paul Butler Saturday pre
dicted the 1960 Democratic
platform would contain "the
strongest statement any party
ever made" on civil rights.
He said the strong civil j
rights plank would be de-j
manded by the northern wing ;
of the party and "I don't be-
lieve there can be any recon-:
ciliation"' with the south on !
the subject. i
However, Butler said he did j
not think the strong civil
rights plank would lead the
south to bolt the 1960 conven
tion. He said "there has been a
noticeable change in ..attitude
in the south" on civil rights.
"A great many religious lead
ers" in the south, he said, are
demanding a change of atti
tude from their politicans and
southern business leaders are
fearful the civil rights con
troversy will hurt industrial
expansion in Dixie.
