The purpose of the club is to pro¬ vide extra curricular activties for the students interested in history and social science; therefore it is purely an academic organization. In order to be a member of the club, the student must have and try to obtain good grades. While he is a member of the club, he must make some individual research during the year, on some subject in which he is interested. Many of the members are working on their reports at the present time. History Club Marches On To start the new year right, we had a meeting in January. After the election of officers, the sponsor gave a book review. The story was Hamlin Garlan’s “Son of the Mid¬ dle Border.” At the February meeting Mrs Seamonson lectured on her visit to Warwick and Kenilworth Castles This was very enjoyable. In March, Mr. Allman visited our club. He brought along some of the moving pictures that he took on his trip though the Holy Land a few years ago. This lecture gave a totally different viewpoint on the social and economic life of the Holy Land. For the April meeting, we have planned to have Miss Foster give us a talk on Colonial Architectural Styles. To round out the school year, we have planned to give a radio party: and last, but not least, there will be and intiation of the new members. All sophomores who took history and who had and who have a fairly good average will be introduced into the ways and means of the club. As this club is a new student pro ject, the seniors di d not have as much advantage to enjoy it, as the underclass men will have in the se¬ mesters to come. 19 3 5

Pepinella Well, here we are back again safe and sound. We had to talk and talk to Mr. Pruitt, but he finally broke down. After Mr. Pruitt’s con¬ sent to have our good old Pep Club, we had our first meeting September 14, 1934. We elected the following officers for the entire year: Bernice Brooks, president; Vada Pinter, vice president; Aimee Parry, secretary and treasurer. With the aid of our president, Bernice Brooks, we start¬ ed our active year. We had our Pep meetings on Friday the 8th per¬ iod. Whenever there was an im¬ portant football game, the Pepi- nellas tried to pep it up at assemb¬ lies. About Christmas time, we took in new members consisting only of Juniors and Seniors. The new pledges were: Agnes Brueckman, Clarice Diamond, Irene Golden, Mae Hofferber, Agnes Penska, Elizabeth Taylor, DeEtte Tilton, Viola Heick Helen Howe, Helen Patterson, Eli¬ zabeth Steinman, and Wilma Trump. As we could not initiate during school, we saved al of our energy and ideas until the eve of the initia¬ tion on November 21. Next came our date dance, which was held on December 8th. It was fun listening to the talk of the girls who were wondering whom they were going to ask and what they were going to wear—especially the pledges. The second Pepinella dance of the year was held May 4, 1935 in the gym of C. P. H. S. The Pepin¬ ella girls cordially invited all the girls of the school and their friends to attend the dance. It was a big success, financially and otherwise. The music was furnished by Mal¬ colm Stonex’s orchestra. The gym was gayly decorated with bright colors. It was the biggest Pep dance held for the past two years. We had a very good year, and I don’t see how the girls will get along without our efficient officers. CARRY ON PEPINELLAS!

Two boys, Milton Carl¬ son and Floyd Seramur got letters in their sophomore year. Clifford Henderson and Oscar Mills and some others also showed much abil¬ ity on the basketball floor that year.” “Did they have operettas then, too?” “Yes, they had the “Singer of Naples” our sophomore year. Our class was well represented both in cast and chorus. We had an oper¬ etta every year. We had good tim¬ es in those days.
