The club, with Q1 membership of twenty-four, is conducting an essay contest and offering .1 prize to the member submitting the best essay. Four meetings have been held this term, the Hrst in November being devoted to organization. The second was given over to a study of The Essay. Biography was discussed at the third. Extracts from a recent biography were presented so entertainingly that most of the club members are anxious to read the book. Short reviews of other biographies were a part of the program. At the informal Christmas meeting games and contests were provided for the enter- tainment of members. The club librarian hopes to have a lending library with a number of new books ready to serve the reading tastes of Lincoln High School early in the new year. 151
