PM« The Qamp Fire Qirls DOROTHY ROSENCRANS The Camp Fire is a band of girls who appreciate the highest values in life and wish to live so that their lives may be the application and expression of their ideals. It attempts to keep a girl ' s household duties from becoming a drudgery by awarding honor beads for them. When a girl becomes a member of the Camp Fire she does not promise anything, as the best sometimes break promises, but she repeats her desire to become a Camp Fire girl and gives the law, which is, Seek Beauty, Give Service, Pursue Knowledge, Be Trustworthy, Hold on to Health, Glorify Work, Be Happy. The symbolism and ceremony of Camp Fire is best seen at the council fire, where the honors are awarded. A council fire is very beautiful, especially when it is held outdoors, but it is always a very impressive ceremony in which the ideals of the girls are expressed by words and symbols, and the efforts toward these ideals are rewarded. Boys ' High chool Club FRANCIS TIFFANY The Boys ' High School Club is an organization of about fifty boys in Central Junior High School. Its purpose is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. Its meetings are held every two weeks at the various churches. The meetings are always preceded by a good dinner after which there is usually a program and a speaker. The meetings are usually closed by sentence prayers in which the members par- ticipate. This form of closing is very satisfactory to the boys because it makes them feel that they have a strong part in the proceedings. The ' Boys ' debating Club ROBERT BOYD The Boys ' Debate Club was organized in December, 1925, by a group of boys who desired practice and training in the art of forensics. Under the supervision of Mr. G. L. Douthitt, the club meets every other Monday. Thirty-five boys from the Freshman and Sub-Freshman class compose the charter membership. The club operates under a constitution. Upon its adoption these officers were elected: Wesley Rufi, President; Billy Rownd, Vice-President; Kenneth Silverman, Secretary; Robert Boyd, Treasurer; Herbert Harrison, Sergeant-at-arms. At each meeting a program of debate or parliamentary drill is given. Cjirti debating Club EMILY ANN ALLI SON The Athena Debate Club is the first club of its kind that has ever been organized in any junior high school in Kansas City. The object of this organization is to study and to foster interest in debate and allied subjects. It is to develop ability to think logically and quickly, ability to distinguish between true and fallacious arguments, and ease in speaking before groups of people. The officers are: President, Mildred Anselm; Vice-President, Harriette New- comer; Secretary, Emily Ann Allison; Treasurer, Jeanne Pickard; Sergeant-at-Arms, Virginia Rufi.
