President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer bers of the club. Besides the regular meetings held at school, members often convened outside where they had an opportunity to hear well- known authors and editors speak on various phases of writing. Some stories by members were printed in the Pirate Press and several even succeeded in selling a story. The club also began a collection of re- jection slips from different magazines.

ENGINEERING CLUB Fritz Zapf President Keith Corey .... Vice-President Don Shaffer Secretary The Engineering Club Is an organization whose purpose Is to encourage students to become in- terested in the phases of school activities such as engineering and similar studies. Its members are brought into contact with the mechanical and scientific side of school. The club took a number of trips and all were fully appreciated. One included a trip to the Douglas Aircraft School at Santa Monica to see how planes were built. It is hoped that next year the club will grow larger and stronger and therefore plan a few more field trips. With the aid of its sponsor, Mr. Zschokke, the Engineering Club has become very interesting. At each meeting a different member presides and speaks on some scientific element of study. Although social activities haven ' t been stressed, the members enjoyed a picnic just before the end of the school vear. : 4 . j SECOND ROW: MR. ZSCHOKKE. EGAN. N. GALLAGHER. E. GALLAGHER. AYERS.
