GLEE CLUB President MARGUERITE MONCURE Vice-President MARGARET LEE Secretary-Treasurer SARAH CARTER Faculty Adviser MISS YATES Pianist MARGARET LEE You’ve heard Glee Clubs, no doubt, but have you ever heard A. H. S.’s? If you haven’t, you should, and if you have — well, you may be the judge. If you saw “South Is South,’’ presented by the Barrymore Dramatic Club, you heard us and saw us, too! We are locally known as the “Mocking Birds,’’ a title that needs no explanation. In preparing for an appearance we first study the words of a song so that we may feel the song and put expression into our melody. We specialize in two-part group singing. Of course, we do solo work, too. We take great delight in staying after school to learn new songs. That’s unusual, isn’t it?

PEP CLUB President ANGELA BELL Vice-President FRANCES GAINES Secretary MARGUERITE PENN Treasurer BONELLE THOMAS The Pep Club began another successful year sponsored by Miss Eddie Dickert. A meeting was called and all classes were well represented. After the election of officers, the next thing on our minds was the initiation of the Freshmen. A very successful stunt night was given by representatives of the various classes with the kind assistance of the teachers. There were high school badges sold which also added to our funds. Our next aim was to give to the football team their annual supper which was voted the best yet, and that means something.

RADIO CLUB President WYCLIFF CLAGGETT Intense interest has been shown in this club since its organization last fall, and, although it is still in its infancy, it has made rapid strides under the able direction of Mr. Coleman. The Club is composed of boys who are interested in the field of radio. Its purpose is two-fold; first, to teach us something of radio, and, second, to give us pleasure. Our members have an electric radio, from which we derive much enjoyment. The first half of our period we devote to the discussion of topics ranging from the history of Radio to modern broadcasting stations. The latter part of the period we entertain ourselves with programs through the medium of our own radio.
