Cyn Club The Quill Club is probably the most unusual organization at North Side. just picture an organization that has no regular meetings, an organization that comes to the limelight but once a year, and yet which requires more work on the part of its members than do many of the more conspicuous clubs at North Side, and you have a fairly good idea of what the Quill Club is like. Of course, that description makes the club sound almost unique, but its affairs are pleasant. In the first place, it has Mr. Dickinson as its adviser, and in the second place, there is a good rea- son for its seeming lack of actual organ- ization. The Quill Club, which exists only at North Side, is an honorary lit- erary organization, the members of which are students who have shown a flare for the uliteraryf, Since the handi- work of this organization is the annual literary magazine known as Ripples , regular meetings would be out of place. Page 77 The members themselves determine when each meeting will be held, since this system has proved itself more sat- sifactory than that of holding regular meetings. Another respect in which this club is different from others is that it has no officers. Moreover, it has no pins, and the reward of those students who work on Ripples only is the pride of work- manship or the joy of seeing their names in print. These students supply the majority of the material for Ripples, North Side's literary magazine. This magazine con- tains short stories, different types of poetry, essays, and various kinds of com- position work. Ripples has received national rat- ing, and is really as unusual as the or- ganization which produces it. But don't you wish that your algebra class were conducted in that manner? J ' J 3 1 .4

Art Club Very worthwhile to all those interested in art is the Art Club, which takes a very active part in North Side activities. Nlembers of the club held their first meeting October 16, at which time Mar- garet Lepper was elected president, lxiaurice Weiiiier, vice-president, Doro- thea Bayer, secretaryg and Hugh Fawley, treasurer. Miss Gertrude Zoolc and Miss Bernice Sinclair, art teachers, are advis- ers of the club. Evelyn Martin was chosen head of the program committee, assisted by I-lildegarde -Iaehn, Velma Brendel, and Bill Ballou. Cn October 13, a party was held in the apartment, which was attend- ed by about twenty-five people. An art exhibit for eighth grade pupils of Frank- lin and Forest Park schools was prepared with Katherine Malcolm as head of the craft class. Woody Schlatter, Kenny Blair, Anna C. Dell, and Don Komis- arow made up the social committee. Because of the great interest in soap sculpture, all students were invited to AE Q, 09.-Aus enter a national soap sculpturing contest. The display of many of the figures en- tered in the national contest was shown in a trophy case here for some time. Big preparations were made for the Bubble Dance held November 20. Pastel shades of balloon, lattice worl-1, flowers and crepe paper, with a central decora- tive effect were the original and lovely decorations. Miss Zoolc thought it one of the prettiest dances ever given. The new officers elected in January were president, Woody Schlatterg vice- president, Hildegarde Jaehng secretary, Hugh Fawleyg and treasurer, Betty Barth. Beautiful worlc done by the art classes has been on display in the study hall and the high school held an open-house night at the Woma11's Club to display the best work. Another social affair was held March ZZ, in Room 312 and an exhibit was opened to eighth graders in March. Page 76

Honor Choir In every school there are girls with fine voices, but these girls are not always collected in one fine group as they are in our Honor Choir. lVlr. Gerald Doty arranged the pro- grams and selected the songs for the choir, which, during the past year has furnished entertainment at various func- tions. Aside from various assemblies in which the girls of the Honor Choir gave their assistance, the chief among the concerts which they either gave or tool: part in were at the Y. W. C. A., the First Methodist Episcopal Church, the Business and Professional Wo111en's Club, and the Christmas concert in the North Side auditorium on December 23. The ofhcers of the organization for the past two years have been Margaret Sweet, president, and Helen Schaclc and Mary Reamer, business managers. A Capella Choir A special mixed group, an A Capella Choir, has been arranged by Mr. Doty in the past year. It participated in the Byron and at lVliller's Tea Room, and sang at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Mothers' Chorus Recently a Mothers' Chorus was formed by Mr. Doty. Any mother of a North Side boy or girl is welcome to join. The first meeting of the mothers' group was held on January 20. Chorus More than a hundred girls and boys are members of the chorus. This in- cludes' everyone who is in one of the glee club classes. Although the number of pupils in this group is too large to permit its singing in many places, it is very active in school programs. Its most important appearance was in the Spring concert on April 8. It also took part in the Christmas concert and G. A. A. Vod-Vil. The soloists in the Christmas concert were Mary Reamer, Virginia Blume, Florence Brooks, Margaret Sweet, Helen Schaclc, Dana Criswell, James Work, Denton Habeclcer, Wilson White, and Blaine Garard.
