AVIATION CLUB Near the first of the term, forty-five boys said they wanted to join the Aviation Club, but only ten boys joined brcause they had to furnish their own materials for the airplanes. Finally, four boys remained in the club. Only boys who are willing to keep busy, and who have flying planes are accepted. The boys have a fine time making models for the planes, They also have a chance to use the machinery of the shop. Why not join? Eleanor Lucy L7yU JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB In the Junior Science Club the pupil gets to choose which study he likes bestg minerals, stones, insects, shells, stuffed birds or animals. There are many different shells which the members try to name. The first week of school the club members were taken to San Francisco to the seashore and museum. At the seashore they gathered many shells. They have built a little nursery where they keep many different kinds of flowers which they get from various places. Catherine Bianchetta H7yU STAMP CLUB The Stamp Club, under the direction of Miss McAllister, accomplished quite a bit this term. This club meets every Thursday to discuss and trade stamps. The club elected Alan Freeborn, a pupil, for its president. This term, members of the cluh were especially interested in studying United States stamps. A visit was paid to the Berkeley High School Stamp Club to see the display of stamps. It is a fine club for those who col- lect stamps, as much may be learned, and there are chances to trade. Evelyn Delphin H9z' THE KODAK CLUB Although the Kodak Club is a rather small group, it does splendid work. The membership is limited to boys of the ninth grade who have ko- daks, and are interested in photography. This term, nine only enrolled. These boys meet once a week during the activity period and discuss the pictures which they have taken and developed. They usually make snap shots for the Wizard. There is an art in experienced photography, and these boys are learning it fast. This term, they were able to catch some of the teachers in familiar poses. They hope you enjoy them in the Wizard Eleanor Young L8z' Annu :il

THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra, under the splendid direction of Mr. Schott, was very busy this term. tOn February twenty-seventh it played for the Rivoli Thea- ter Party. It also played for an entertainment given under the direction of Miss Streightif, as well as in the Junior and Senior Assemblies on the twenty-first of February. Last term, some of the older players left, but despite that, the or- chestra performed successfully. Let us hope our orchestra increases in the number of its members, and prospers next term. Evelyn Delphin H9z' SENIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Every year our club increases in membership. This term forty girls have joined. It is our ambition to develop the singing quality which gives pleasure to those who hear us. Twice a week we meet and sing songs under the direction of Mrs. Rhodes. We are pleased to think that we can furnish programs at assemblies, as well as entertaining the public. Our costume consists of a white middy and skirt and a red tie. Where- ever we go, we sing our best, and hope that we do credit to Burbank School. Irene Simon H9yU SENIOR BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Senior Boys' Glee Club is composed of eighth and ninth grade boys. It meets every Tuesday and Thursday during the eighth period. The boys ' have a splendid leader, Mrs. Rhodes, one of the music teachers. They prac- tice familiar songs and learn new ones. They never know when they will be called upon to sing before an assembly, or at a theater. When singing for large crowds, the members wear red sashes around their waists. There were a great many boys who took advantage of the wonderful op- portunity this term, and joined. The Glee Club always welcomes new members so there is a chance for you, if you can sing, and want to belong, 1 Ebet Evans H9zH THE JUNIOR BOYS' AND GIRLS' GLEE CLUBS J I The sixteen boys who form the Junior Boys' Glee Club are very sincere in their work and have shown much progress under their leader, Miss Gilbert The Junior Girls' Glee Club consists of forty girls who are practi- cing diligently on new songs as they have been invited to sing at the ded- ication of the boys' new gymnasium.
