P fi 4 4 THE DRAMATIC CLUB This organization which we call our Dramatic Club has been ot' vital interest to students for the past several years. This club is under the very capable leadership of Miss Constance Pierson and with her as our directress we accomplished many worth while things during the year. The elub met as usual in Se1.tc'mber and elected the following officers: President, Linder Devoreg Vice-President, Margaret Syferthg Secretary, Helen Roekwellg Trasurer, Harold Zander: Club Reporter, Mary Catherine Yondenbosch. The following people were chosen for the program committee: Earl Tappendorf, Helen Rockwell. Elwood Hasemeier and Martha Schroeder for the entire year. The purpose of this club is to prepare interested students for publie speaking, dranlatical gestures, eostuming. acting and make-up. lt is educa- tional as well as valuably interesting. lt offers many opportunities to the student who will grasp them. One of its greatest and most memorable aeeomplislunents was the Dra- matic Club play which was presented during the last week of school. BOOK CLUB The Senior Class of 1937 and their capable sponsor, Miss t'onstan.ce Pierson, organized a club known as the Book f'lub. The purpose of this club was to give the students a greater opportunity to read books. A book was assigned to be read and reported on at each meeting. Toward' the close of the year two and three books were reported on at each meeting in order to finish the required list. This club took the place of reading two novels a week for a period of six Weeks. Miss Pierson's l1o111e was agreed upon as a meeting place and seven o'elock was chosen as the time. When the question arose as to how often we should meet, it was decided that one meetin.g 3 month would be sufficent. After the Senior Ulass had all arrived, the reports oft the evening were given and then comments and opinions followed. These book clubs have proved to be a social event as well as an occasion at which each person. may express his views. NVQ- believe this club was very profitable and hope the Seniors of the Class of 'RST will follow our plan. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION livery girl interested in Athletics joined this organization. Many bene- fits were received from this, but the greatest was the promotion of health by hikes and various out door sports. Early in the fall the girls took hikes. On each hike they would go a little farther than they had gone on the previous one. Many times the weather prevented the hikes and as a result they did not get to go as far as they had planned at the first of the year. On May 6 they entertained the basketball boys, cheer leaders and the managers to a pienic at Young's Grove. They have enjoyed the good times they had while working and hiking together and feel the time given to the Girls' Athletic Association was profitable.
