VAC iry erue I Iu purpose of the V arsity Club is to bring together those hoys who have a common interest in athletics, and to create interest among boys’ sports. It also is an organization whereby cooperation of the members in athletics as well as in social activities is encouraged to create a feeling of brotherhood cemented by a common interest. This in turn goes far in promoting an atmosphere of school spirit and es- sential moral for high achievements in major cooperative sports. The officers of the Varsity Club for 1935 and 1936 are as follows: Edward Clarke, president: Donald Wager, secretary and treasurer: Wilford Turner and Curdin Freeborn, social committee. The duties of the mentioned officers are to plan and direct club activities under the supervision of Mr. Buckley, to keep in touch with all alumni members of the ciub, and to carry on correspondence with similar organizations in other schools, w ith whom we have had the pleasure to contact during the past year in competitive sport activities. A student, to become eligible for membership in the Varsity Club, requires a block letter earned by successful participation in a major sport or two minor sports. When the student receives his block letter he becomes a meml»er of the Varsity Club organization automatically. The block letter and membership in the Varsity Club is an incentive offered by the Varsity Club to the aspiring athletes of which he can justly be proud. The sport season is closed at graduation time at a banquet to which the alumni are invited. It is a happy gathering, to be sure, and many a witty jest is heard as the boys reminisce. Cookie: V ilma. apple of my eye. I would do anything for you, swim the Atlantic, go through fire and hell, and face the most terrible hurricane for your sake. And, by the way, I will be down tonight if it doesn't rain too hard.

This work is continued at home by some in workshops they have themselves built up. In addition, the same group have very satisfactorily aided in school electrical re- quests. taken an active part in projecting moving pictures for groups who wish them shown, and filming motion pictures of the school. Planning each unique annual assembly Radio Club program proves to be a bit of research in itself. I his year our program was one which caused a great deal of comment. Moving pictures taken by members of the club, portraying various school activities were shown. I he club’s first attempt at colored movies was also revealed at this assembly program. As a special feature a Hindu friend of the club's able adviser was given a few minutes to demonstrate some of his mystic powers. Every year this active club produces a new and interesting program. We will wait anxiously to see yvhat next year's program brings us. Fortune Teller: Tell me your full name and I will tell you the name of your future w ife.
