Dig WEINACMTSZQT The land of Christmas trees, of Santa Claus, of strolling bands, and of apple strudel, the Germany of song and story is the concern of DIE DEUTSCHEN LOEWEN. fGerman Lions to youl. Miss Emerson showed slides of German comic boys at one meeting. As the slides went along she translated the jokes on them for the club members. For another program Betty Schumann gave a talk on the opera Tannhauser and Frank Langdon played the main pieces from that opera on the piano. At some ot the meetings, German games were played and at almost every meeting German food was served for refreshments. One good old German dish which was not overlooked was the old favorite, spare-ribs and sauerkraut. The German club mem- bers are evidently fond ot eating, for they are planning a picnic which they hope to hold at Starved Rock. Since people who have been to Germany always have interesting material for the club, Miss Critchtield, who was abroad last summer, talked on German drama. Club members showed lantern slides of cities along the Rhine and then gave talks on each one of them. As students like to sing songs of the language which they are studying, an especially enjoyable program was the one at which the club members did some effective close harmonizing of Du, Du, Liegst Mir Am Herzen and the like. For their Christmas program the club gave a Christmas pageant. ln the above picture the back row: Irene Robb, Mary lane Harris, Luela Sangdahl, Robert Kemman, Virginia Koch, Eleanor Conrad, Iohn Lutz, Dorothy Wittman. ln the front row are Warren An- derson, Hugh Redhead, and Roxie Sarkisaw.

German dancing is being considered for a future program. ln the election of the German club officers, Whitman Bartley was chosen president: Irma Haynes, vice-president: Iosephine Brotje, secretary: and Nathelie Gelis, treas- urer. The club, which is sponsored by Miss Emerson, is open to all students talking German. Page 78

AVQTNSTS The best assembly of the year! That was the distinction given the A.A.K. assembly of 1936 by a popular Vote of the students of L. T. H. S. With a precedent such as this before them, the members of A.A. K. set to work to make the A. A. K. assembly of 1937 as good as or better than that of the year before. And if a similar vote were to be taken the All Arts Klub assembly would undoubtedly again receive top honors. The backbone of the club for the past year came from Betty Ann Iohnson, president: Dorothy Wittman, vice-president: Victor Corporan, second vice-president: Iosephine Brotje, secretary: David Nightingale, treas- urerg and Mrs. Murphey, sponsor. Special mention should be given to Betty Ann Iohnson who designed the elaborate scenery for the production and to Mrs. Murphey who supervised the entire program. The ever willing stage crew was on hand as usual to put up the scenery. The stage crew deserves much credit for its efficient work. Every stage production at L. T. H. S. is handled from the scenery and effects angle by the stage crew under the direction of Mrs. Murphey. The stage crew is composed of the follow- ing: Harry Peterson, Betty Ann Iohnson, loy Dawson, lohn Hockenbery, Robert Kurth, David Wilson, George Pierce, Robert Voss, Gertrude Wilbur, and Dave Nightingale. At one of the first meetings of the year, the club visited the Art institute and the Van Gogh exhibit. At a later date, murals painted in the Oak Park schools by the W. P. A. were viewed by the club. Another memorable occasion sponsored by the A.A.K. was its colorful after-school dance with Ken Webber's orchestra furnish- ing the music. The year's program was topped off with the annual trip to Starved Rock.

FASMKDN NCTES Charm, style, personality, how to be a gracious hostess-any girl is glad to learn these things, and TEENYA is a special club whose purpose is to present programs on subjects which primarily interest girls. Newly organized this year, Teenya was sponsored by Miss Alice Thomsen and had as its officers: president, Cherry Smith, vice- president, Ruth Hieronymusp secretary, Betty Miller: and treasurer, Mary Ann Kohlstrom. A great variety of programs was offered, each drawing a large turnout from the club's membership of over one hundred. The first meeting of the year, held in September, was in the form of a fashion show. Sponsored by Marshall Field's, Who furnished all the costumes and accessories, the show was a huge success. Twelve of the club members acted as the models, and Mrs. Ashby, sent out by Field's, talked on Planning a Ward- robe, giving many helpful hints for choos- ing a winter wardrobe. At the November meeting, Teenya pre- sented Miss Doris Lee Leeds, who gave a talk on Beauty and Grooming . This in- cluded a make-up demonstration on oval and round faces. Miss Blanche Gardiner of Green Shutters spoke on refreshments for entertainment at the December meeting. She left many reci- pes and ideas for entertaining with the girls. Etiquette and its history, charm and per- sonal appearance, table manners and table setting, and the proper ways to make intro- ductions were fully discussed by Miss Helen Bartlett, etiquette editor for the Chicago Tribune. A Featured at the March meeting was a trip to Washington on the Capitol Limited pre- sented by Mrs. William K. Brown, who is connected with the Baltimore and Ohio Bail- road. Many interesting pictures of Mount Vernon, and Washington were shown. In April Miss Rhea Siegar, who is the fashion editor of the Chicago Tribune, spoke on clothes, giving many hints about the latest styles, colors, and materials for spring. A big project of Teenya was to secure the speaker for the girls assembly which took place in May. Miss Fannie M. Brooks, Health Education Specialist from the Univer- sity of Illinois, spoke on developing person- ality through hygiene.
