WEWZQH H E ET gpg, ' he A or Letter Club, started at the beginning of the school term by Mr. McKittrick, is a new organizaion in the A. U. H. S. The purpose of this organization is to better athletics in the high ,LL,QQg3A. school. The membership is limited to students who have won their letters in some branch of athletics. This school, though always noted for its leadership in athletics, needs an organization like this because such an organization helps to keep up the interest in athletics. Formerly it was always the same students who took part in the various branches of sports. The A Club, however, will arouse a keener interest in athletics, and will help bring out more students for the several sports. A shield has been presented to the Student Body by the club. The student who, during the year, has excelled in character, courtesy, scholar- ship, and athletics will be entitled to have his name engraved upon the shield. Each year a different name will be engraved, and each year it will be a greater honor to have one's name engraved upon it. In the opinion of the writer it will be a greater honor to have one's name engraved upon this shield than to be President of the Student Body, which is the highest honor a student in the A. U. H. S. can receive. The Club is planning to present to each senior who has won his letterin some branch of athletics a sweater with a letter on the front, and. on the sleeve, stripes which will denote how many years he has played in that branch of athletics. The Club plans from time to time to give programs, the prf - ceeds of which will go towards the purchase of sweaters. A party has al- ready been given and was well enjoyed. This shows that the AH Club means to do something to keep up the interest of the members, and to be- come one of the leading organization of the school. The boys are the only ones who have formed such a club, but there is no reason why the girls cannot organize a similar one. Through the cooper- ation of the two A Clubs, A. U. H. S. would be bound to excel in char- acter, courtesy. scholarship, and athletics. Such a leadership is worth your effort, boys and girls, so keep up the good work begun, form a girls A Club, and both clubs work together to make A. U. H, S. a leader. 599 EV!! 21
