SERVICE CLUB The Service Club is organized to give recognition to the students who give service to the school without monetary reward. It is composed of students who work in the library, office, on school publications, or serve in any other capacity. In 1936, the Service Club originated Activity Night, on which night the school building is open for supervised recreation. Games are played in the music room and gymnasium. The study hall and library are open for study. Because of its success last year, it was con y tinued this ear. This is one of the crowning achievements of the Service Club.

POETRY CORNER Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream. Life is realg life is earnest, And these poems will make you scream. Cln laughter or in agony? 'ID The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, A line of cars winds slowly o'er the leag The pedestrian plods his absent-minded way, And leaves the world quite unexpectedly. He killed the noble Mudjokivis, Of the skin he made him mittens, Made them with the fur side inside, Made them with the skin side outside, He, to get the warm side inside, Put the inside skin side outsideg He, to get the cold side outside, Put the warm side fur side inside. That's why he put the fur side inside, Why he put the skin side outside, Why he turned them inside outside. In Louisville once lived a colonel Who went on rambles nocturnal. A pfolecat and he, Once failed to agree- He now makes his rambles diurnal Under the weeping willow trees, The village speed trap stands. The natives laugh to see such sport And the constable rubs his hands. Do not throw rocks at the robins, They are yet young, They have not flew, They can do you no nevermind. CHumor Ed. Note: Let this be a lesson to you.D
