CLUBS.. Our Clubs this year have been a tremendous success due to the diligent work of the members and the excellent supervision of the advisors. Through this admirable system of Clubs, the students have had an opportunity to learn many useful arts and have had the thrill of experiencing tasks well done. PRESS CLUB . . . Since Uncle Sam decreed that paper should be conserved, the Press Club has ceased publication of the Tatler and, instead, has printed the weekly school news in the Clifton Springs Press. Advisor Miss Damon. RE-FLIGHT . . . The Pre-Flight is aiming at the reading of synoptic maps and the symbols standing for certain weather condition. A bit of meteorology has also been studied. Advisor........Miss Mosey. RED CROSS . . . The Red Cross this year has made bedside bags (for Kleenex), favors for holidays (Christmas and George Washington’s birthday) for Sampson's bed patients. Besides this, they made scrapbooks and collected magazines for the convalescents. They also knitted caps for the use of convalescent Lake Placid soldiers, made bandages, and started a contribution drive to raise funds for the Red Cross. Advisor Miss Griffiths. LIBRARY CLUB . . . This year the members of the Library Club learned to read shelves, slip and shelve books, and check in magazines. In addition to assisting the Librarian in this capacity, they helped to keep the Library clean. Advisor........Miss Damon. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA . . This year the Future Farmers scheduled their meetings once a month and initiated new members on January 28. Like last year, the Club again joined the Farm Bureau. Advisor...... Mr. Paulus. BAND . .. The Band concentrated on many new lively marches and regal overtures. It participated in the Spring concert. Advisor Miss McCormick. GLEE CLUB . . . The members of the Glee Club, besides learning several interesting new songs, participated in the Spring concert. Advisor Miss McCormick. 4-H CLUB . . This Club was divided into two groups, the Rollicking Rookies, and the Shamrocks. They carried out projects in canning, sewing, cooking, gardening, poultry raising, and the remodeling of garments. Advisor Miss Worden. DANCING . . . The music furnished by the school’s record player, for this Club, attracted a large attendance. Both round and square dances were taught. Advisor Miss Griffiths.
