O , '-T. ue ' t Q 'R 4 Ytfwk-I Q'-3 Sponsors' Objectives for DRAMATICS The Sages-The purpose of the Sages seems to be self-evident. lt is the dramatic group of Hughes High School. lts members should be those who love good plays-not for the chance these give the actors to display their talents, but for the plays themselves. When we were children, we loved make believe. As we grow older, we would like many experiences that never come our way. Through plays, we are able to have some of them and incidentally, too, through plays, we unconsciously attain a few other desirable ends as poise, freedom from self consciousness, and good Clcllf SPCCCH- -Erna Kruckcmeycr HOBBIES AND SPECIAL INTEREST CLUBS Home Economics-The Home Economics Club is open to all girls interested in Home Economics. It is primarily alget-together organization where the girls may become better acquainted. Guests are invited from time to time to discuss topics of special interest. A tea for the mothers is an important event of the year. -Ruth Helrmm The Chess Club--In the autumn of 1933, a group of ,boys met in Room 2 to organize the Chess Club. Observ- ing the chosen objectives of sportsmanship, improvement, and understanding in chess. the club has carried on from this excellent beginning. The organization is recognized throughout the city, and in interscholastic tournaments has met with unusual success. --Lirle G. Winelund Mathematics Club-The Mathematics Club has been in existence since 1920. During this time it has been the endeavor of the club to prepare programs which are of interest to the students of third and fourth-year Mathematics. Certain typical subjects of the present year have been Magic Squares, Fallacies, Trisection of an Angle, and Famous Mathematicians. -Charles F. Sichl Natural Dancing Class-Five years ago the Natural Dancing Class was organized. By natural dancing is meant the natural movements of the body, as walking, running, skipping, leaping, etc., which help us to acquire grace, poise, and balance.

Under the splendid leadership of our president, Audrey Perkins, we have had in- teresting speakers and demonstrations. We are planning to bring this year to a close with a trip through a news- paper ofiice in order to get an inside view of advertising. -Mary McSurcly The Stamp Club-The main objective of the Stamp Club is to instil a lasting interest for philately in Hughes students.

At the end of every meeting a stamp auction was held. -Erlifll FOX Vox Pop-The Vox Pop Club was organized in September, 1932, in response to a request from Iuniors and Sen- iors for some place and time where they could discuss freely the issues of the impending election. A desire to see how and if campaign promises were kept assured the continuation of the clubg and its scope has widened to in- clude Sophomores and Freshmen as well as upperclassmeng affairs international as well as national.--Pearl Person: MUSIC Band and Orchestra-The student who acquaints himself only with the so-called popular type of music will not bring lasting pleasure to himself or his listeners. The purpose of the instrumental clubs of Hughes is to acquaint the players with the best in this art: to increase facility in reading music and in the handling of the various instruments. -A. R. Kratz Boys' Glee Club-The Boys' Glee Club oliers an opportunity to qualified boys to sing together with others of equal qualifications.

Koppenlraefer SERVICE GROUPS Girl Reserves-Girl Reserves at Hughes foster friendship, and endeavor to serve both the school and those less fortunate.

By discussions, talks, and little plays, they try to learn the meaning of service and friendship. -M. Iulin Berzrlcy To do the thing l know is true And should not be ashamed to do. To try to make some other see The thing that so appeals to me. A Hughes Club--Hughes Club originated from the local Hi-Y Club in 1920. lt is essentially a Hughes organization which strives to improve and develop the younger classmen into more self-confident Seniors.

The aim of the club is to maintain Hughes ideals and traditions, and to improve conditions of school life. --Elmer W. Kizer Pep and Ginger Girl Reserves-The Pep and Ginger Club has had as its main outside project this year the assisting of the Girl Reserves in the adoption of Peaslee School for social work.

Hngemeyer Hi-Y-Hi-Y was organized to give an opportunity for discussion of problems of living. Meetings are conducted in a serious, dignified manner. To connect discussions with religious life, visits are made to churches of various denom- inations. For the sake of good fellowship, social affairs are added to the program. p -C. E. Lee LANGUAGE GROUPS Creative Writing Csctibbletsj-The Scribblers-neither a class nor a club-is probably best described as a group held together by a common interest in writing. The members, drawn from the three upper classes, feel a double responsibility, to give constructive criticism to others and to present a reasonable amount of original writing. The chief aim is to stimulate interest in creative work, and to offer an opportunity for enjoying the exchange of ideas. -Bertlm Euanr Ward French Club C Le Cetcle F rancaisj-The French Club provides the opportunity for students especially inter- ested in French to use and enjoy it outside of the classroom. The meetings conducted in French, where French songs are sung, French games are played, French plays are presented, and French lectures heard, give added impetus to the desire to master the language studied. -Louise E. Bentley German Club fTeuf011iaj-German Club affords the opportunity of recreation for those pupils who desire a more intimate acquaintance with the people of Germany, their language, their customs, and habits, and with the country itself. This activity may express itself in the form of music, of declamation, of games, and of simple plays. --Erich Bergman Latin Club CSocietas Latinaj-The Latin Club was organized to show that there are many phases of Latin not taught in the classroom. By talks on Roman civilization, customs, and manners, or on some recent archaeologi- cal excavation, by clever little Latin plays, by Latin songs, by games, conundrums, and cross-word puzzles, the club combines the useful with the delightful - utile cum dulci. . -M. lulia Bentley Spanfsll Club CLa Tettuliaj-La Tertulia offers to all pupils in Spanish classes or to pupils who have com- pleted three years of Spanish an opportunity for a more informal acquaintance than classroom work affords with vari- ous phases of Spanish life as well as language, through the use of songs, plays, games, and occasional addresses con- cerning Spanish speaking countries. --Hclen M.
