U55 Alfudinf 05151051 The Student Observer is the official publicity organ of our school. Its function is to record the news, both serious and amusing, of school life for the edificatton of students, faculty, and all others interested in the school. Its preparation offers' excellent opportunities for those interested in newspaper work. The Student 0bserver is published once a month. Like another famous publication, it offers All The News That's Fit To Print . Presumptuous as this may sound to the casual ear, it is gratifying to note that the parents, formerly known to be vaguely concerned with matters educational, are now perusing school news with keen personal interest in what their children are doing. .fsafgazczaff In this organization the members, both boys and girls, work in an informal manner and learn the story of leather and the different stages it passes through from the time it leaves the animal until it is ready to be fashioned. A new product, catalin, was introduced this year. lts variety of brilliant colors and adaptibility made it a popular material and numerous articles were created with it. Besides these, bill folds, book bindings, cigarette cases, tobacco pouches, and other useful articles were pro- duced by the leathercraftsmen.

To accomplish this each person in the club undertook the supervising ot the program for one meeting. Among the programs were puppet plays presented by members of the club and movies and slides depicting French art and culture. One meeting was turned into a quiz contest with a professeur asking questions about French literature and geography. At the annual exhibit, the club pre sented folk songs and popular melodies. Through these varied pro- grams the interest ot the members was kept high during the year. 'zamafic The Footlights was awakened from its summer slumber to find as energetic and enthusiastic a group of young Thespians as ever trod the stage of Bellows High School. Under the capable direction of Miss Larmon and Mr. Corfield the two dramatic productions, The Nativity and The Terrible Meek , marked the Christmas and Easter seasons with special impressiveness. As the Drama Season opened on Broadway, members who were fortunate enough to attend Current successes brought the club inter- esting reports. Also quiz contests, plays, play readings, pantomime and discussions have composed programs that make the Footlights one ot the most interesting clubs in the school.

What are the most pop- ular flies? These and other piscatorial questions are answered by the members of the F1y Tying Club , who study the use and make the lures used in fresh water fishing. A love of fishing,which involves communion with nature, brings one closer to the beauty of the World he lives in. Thus this activity helps to develop a more complete individual. Qffancficzaff The needles fly every Monday afternoon as the Handicraft, or the Three B's club, which it is sometimes called, meets in Miss Staehle's room. The girls participate in such activities as knitting, crocheting, embroidering, weaving, and sewing. The main purpose of this group is to further interest in needle work and to produce articles which will be of some value to the maker.
