THE CLUB ORCHESTRA is composed of fourteen players, most of whom play in the Senior Orchestra also. They rehearse popu- lar pieces during the regular club period each Monday. Probably more sight reading is done in this group than in any other. The club has over one hundred popular pieces. A unique feature is the addition of a singer, Elvin Fematt, who has an exceptionally fine baritone voice which has been well trained. Since the popular airs have words, a singer is a very good addition, The sponsor is Mr. Suman. THE RADIO CLUB, which is sponsored by Mr. Wetzel, is one of the clubs started this semester. lt consists of boys who are inter- ested in the theory, design, construction, and operation of the radio. This semester the boys built various types of short-wave sets and learned thc Commercial Code. The officers of the club are: Harold Marshall, president: Daniel Rosenthal, vice-president: Ellis Round. secretaryg and Marmion Mostyn, treasurer. THE REFEREE CLUB is composed of forty-three boys and is sponsored by Mr. Wasserbu1'ger. Each member of this club is allowed two points toward his letter for each game he has refereed. On each club day the group gets together and discusses the problems that have arisen during the past week. After discussing the problems, the sponsor signs them up for the games that are to be refereed the following week. THE SCHOOL BEAUTIFUL CLUB, sponsored by Miss Whit- tlesey, has done a great deal toward the beautifying of our grounds. Every noon the grounds are inspected by a committee from this club. The side having the cleaner grounds is dismissed two minutes early. At the end of the term the side having the most inspections in their favor will be given a free picture show. Both the boys and the girls like this contest and take pride in winning the day's inspection. THE SCIENCE CLUB is a group of A9 and B9 boys interested in conducting experiments and other scientific practices. The members are planning to classify scientific specimens in their different groups and put them in the new show cases in the three science rooms. Mr. Smith, the sponsor of the club, takes pleasure in sitting back and let- ting the boys do the thinking and the work. THE SKETCHING CLUB has nineteen members and is spon- sored by Mr. Hines. The boys in this organization are interested in rendering, with the pencil, effects of grace and beauty. The club at first studies elementary blocks and cylinders for perspective and shad- ing. Later they draw subjects such as trees, rocks, and landscapes. Most of the members of this club have taken drafting and know the art of freehand sketching. THE STAMP CLUB is one of the many clubs that we have at Dana. Mr. Halfpenny has been the sponsor of this club each semester since clubs were started. This semester the club is holding a stamp ex- hibit in Los Angeles, open to any student in school who is interested enough to make an exhibit. Quite a few members of our club have been working very earnestly to make exhibits. We hope to have a great number. The members are not doing this for a prize, but for the honor of representing our school stamp club. VJ'-4C ' - 'Jn f ,371 ,ff V A T .X K. 11,7
