At an impressive candlelight service in lanuary, the members were formally initiated by the Nampa Thespian mem- bers. Not all the old Dramatic Club members be- came Thespians, as a certain amount of experience in various fields of dramatics was required for eligibility. Many Thespians participated in One Foot in Heaven, choric reading, the one-act plays and various divisions of the Declamation Contest. Presiding over the organization's affairs were: president, Carla Broddg vice-president, Bill Whit- mang secretary, lanice Moore, treasurer, Barbara Pennington, and historian, lune Abbot. Mr. Ger- ner did his usual diligent, amiable job as advisor. Key Club The Key Club, though one of the comparatively new clubs in the school, is one of the most active. Following their motto, We Build, the club has carried on many constructive activities through- out the year. The first project of the year was the printing of the programs for the football games. The revenue from the programs went for a new trophy case the club purchased, and for the bright new numbers you see on all the doors in the school. Holding to the idea that all work and no play makes lack a dull boy, the club held a formal dinner dance February 25 at the Hotel Boise. Among the other things, the club made a gen- erous donation to the State School and Colony at Nampa. The members again went to the various grade schools and junior highs to give informative talks on polio, and offered their services to the Youth Council whenever they might need them. Officers for the year were Charles Newhouse, president, lim Wisner, vicespresidentp and Dick McNamara, secretary. Forum Club During the lively meetings held each week at the homes of the various members, these students held discussions on topics of local, national and inter- national interest.

This active club, which is one of the oldest organizations in school, is under the faculty su- pervision ot Mr. l-lays. The Forum Club officers for first semester were: Sharon Smith, president, Gary Wells, vice-presif dent, and Myrtle Siebe, secretary.
