Commercial Club All ready for an accuracy test? 70 space line, double spacing, indent for paragraphs. What does that remind you of? Yes, that's right-Typing class, just one feature of our commercial course. All high school students taking commercial subjects are eligible for membership in this club. 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 ......., ...,. A NNA TUNLEY Treasurer .......... ..,. A Liciz BURLEE S. O. R6IUl'6.fE1lfdfj1'6 .....,............... BERYL MOTT Scroll Reporter .........,..............,,.. 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

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'-

i l e H Handicraft Club Are your nerves steady enough to balance a teacup at a faculty party? The Handicraft girls can accomplish this feat. They proved it at their May tea party when with the Home Economics classes they entertained their mothers and the faculty. Do you know what smores are? The girls made them at their june picnic in Green's Woods. Parties and picnics aren't their only accomplishments, If you want a block-printed luncheon cloth, or favors for a party, or candy for a sale, call on a Handicraft girl and you will be given full details. The girls thought they would never find a name for their club. Names from Turtles to Bus Bees were su vested. And after some time Handicraft was decided uaon. Y 88 1 School spirit? Yes, the club has that. It assisted in making costumes for the operetta Oh, Doctor. How and when were these activities accomplished? By twelve members who gathered around the tables in the Homemaking Room twice a month. These oilicers have guided the club's activities throughout the year: Pwritlwzr ...... ..... j ANIE Lizrricis Vit-e-I're.fidw11. . . ....

Trying to make Christ- mas holly with sealing wax over a candle. They'll never forget the feeling of that hot, juicy wax running down their lingers! Without the help of Miss Furman, the faculty advisor, the club would have been un- able to carry out its many accomplishments and they owe all their success to her. The club members all agree that much fun can be obtained from sewing, cooking and entertaining. We can just imagine all the fun they're going to have when they really do sew, cook and entertain in their own home! evil 24 lit- '-
