After read ing and discussing the literature, we finally decided that 2542 for a book wasn't too much to deduct from our weekly allowance. Sixteen boys and girls joined t.hat morning and have been enjoying their books emmensely. As the club grew the students of other classes became inter- ested and now our club membership is 110. Friday February 28, the sixteen charter members met and set Thursday March 6, as the day for initiation of all new members. The y were required to dress to represent a character from sone book, play, poem or comic strip they had read. Many famous characters were rep- resented such as Little Red Riding Hood , '6Popeye , Dagwood , Huckleberry Finn , Little Black Sambo , '6Tom Sawyer?', and many others. From these the judges chose Jeanne Smith dressed as Popeye and Martin Shields dressed as 'GDagwood as the winners. Each was presented a book from the club as a gift for their efforts. For every four-books purchased the company presents one free book, thus keeping the interest of the student. The following students were elected as officers of the club. President ............................ Bill Schimpf Vice President ...... ..... B ert Clendenin Social Secretary ....... ..... I lene Kloepper Business Secretary ...... . ....... Doris Moureau By next year our club should be in full swing and if it continues through the future years, of G. C. H.
