Library Club Aquarium? Garden? Art Gallery? Wliy, no, iris the Library! Pardon us, but we were somewhat confused, although pleasantly surprised, by the various displays about the room. Goldlish, plants, flowers, bulletin boards, and posters have all contributed to make the Library a most attractive place this year-in fact, so attractive that we haven't minded studying there at all. fWell, not much, anywayij Miss Newton came this year as a full time librarian and is responsible for these in- novations and for forming the Library Club. This year the club has been taking charge of arranging books correctly, rebinding books and making an attractive display for the bulletin board in the library. That's probably why winter, spring and autumn each frolicked there for a while. The club members have also taken charge of the library and have classified the books and picture files. Each member has been assigned to each of these duties sometime during the year. Although the bookworms are, for the most part, interested in reading and taking care of the library, they sometimes take time out to be sociable and to eat refreshments. Even booklovers crave food. A highspot of the year's social activities occurred on the evening of March 26 when members of the club met in the Home Economics Room for SUPpCl'. Elizabeth Van Hee, as president, Frances Mayeu, as vice-presidentg and Wilma Seager, as secretary and treasurer, have made a great success of the club. Let's give a rousing cheer for the booklovers and Miss Newton. They deserve it. -al 22 la'-

n French Club Bonjour, les garcons et les Hlles du lycee de Sodus! Do you understand that? If you were one of the select few in this striking picture of the French Club, you would! We have become such fluent speakers of the French language, that we feel as though we could go into the most exclusive restaurant in Paris and order a six-course dinner from a French garcon without batting an eyelash. fWe think we could eat it that way, toolj To be serious: The first meeting of the French Club was held in October when the following officers were elected: Prefia'enf ...... .......

GORDON CLAUS The purpose of this club is to learn about France, the French people and the customs so as to further the interest and understanding in the French language. The club supplements our reading in the foreign language and provides a background for our comprehension of French manners and modes of living. The projects and activi- ties of the club broaden and enrich our class work so that we have a stimulus always to get our lessons done. fThis does not work in all cases.j But because the club members are interested in having a good time besides learning about French customs, they indulge in some social activities. In December, the club had a party at which the members played French games and exchanged Christmas gifts. QThere was an elephant iight, I believe., Our appetites were large but our pocketbooks were small so we had to be satisfied with lemonade and cookies. However, we could have eaten much more. As a club project, a magazine, illustrating social, cultural, governmental and educa- tional activities in France, was made. Pictures of France and French advertisements were cut from magazines and newspapers and pasted on sheets of colored paper which were bound together in the form of a booklet. The members have done several French crossword puzzles. The race is on, A six letter word, a two letter word, the pencils fly, the cry, 'Tm iinishedi' and the puzzle is done. Fun? We think so! just join the club and find out for yourself. -all Zl 339-

Commercial Club All ready for an accuracy test? 70 space line, double spacing, indent for paragraphs. What does that remind you of?

The first meeting was held on September 26, with seventeen people enrolled in the Club which was reorganized last year by Miss Stone. The following officers were elected: President ...............,.........,. NORMA EASTLEY Vice-Prefidelll ........................,..... IDA LEE Set'1'elur'y ......., ...,.

ILA COLE A committee to revise the Constitution was appointed with Ida Lee as chairman. A program committee was also named by the president, consisting of Ida Lee, as chairman, assisted by Beryl Mott, Anna Tunley, Margaret Brown and Alice Burlee. This committee has been very active and responsible for the programs. At one of the meetings freak letters were read by the members who had written them as their fee of admission to the meeting. A prize was given to Rollie Richardson for the best letter. This letter was written to a company, advertising wives for twenty-five dollars. He wanted to buy a lady who was dressed in a green coat and blue hat. A mock auction was held at another meeting. Because of his ability as a salesman, Rollie acted as auctioneer and was so successful in hammering his mallet and yelling Going, Going, Gone, that he disposed of a great number of erasers, books and chalk. The Club discussed the topic, lf I were an Employer, what would I expect of my Em- ployees? After many ideas had been proposed, Miss Stone related some of her pleasant experiences in an office and gave some practical suggestions. After a keen discussion, the members enjoyed a party in the Gymnasium, with supper served in the Home Economics Room. At the May meeting, projects for the school exhibit were presented and worked upon. These projects consisted of a poster with an attractive arrangement of bulletins for com- mercial colleges and business schools, pictures made with shorthand outlines and a story of Mr. Gregg, the founder of shorthand. Can business and a grand time be combined? The Commercial Club will vote YES any day in the week! -. 23
