After the student is acquainted with the machines, each member is instructed in its operation. The club prepares students to assist teachers in presentation of visual aid materials in classroom teaching. The club also prepares the pupils to make wire recordings for classroom and out-of-class-activities. Membership to this club is open to all pupils, however, senior high school students are especially en- couraged to join this club. HOBBY CLUB The Hobby Club tries to interest every member in a particular hobby. This is done by starting with one hobby and explaining it fully, and then covering another in the same manner until the term ends. Two of the hobbies which are particularly stressed are photography and stamp collecting. The students are instructed how to develop films, print photographs and enlarge them. They are also taught how to start a stamp collection and told which stamps are most desirable to own. Every member is encouraged to select a hobby for himself and then learn all he can about it. Interest in a hobby may develop to a point where a hobby becomes a person's vocation. LITERATURE CLUB The Literature Club, conducted by Mr. Schlegel, concentrated on classical and modern short stories. It also centered its interests on stories of humor, horror, suspense, love and adventure, and finally dis- cussed the detective story as found in magazine fiction. The discussion of books and the time given to the students to participate in reading matter made them realize the value of good books and magazines. HANDIWORK CLUB The Handiwork Club met every Tuesday in Miss Roeder's homeroom. The club has had the special purpose of teaching the girls to be skillful in the arts of knitting, crocheting, and embroidering.

Clllll 0111 S SCIENCE CLUB The purpose of the Science Club is to train students of the junior high school to manipulate scientific apparatus by doing simple experiments. Among thisgroup of experiments are such asglass bending, preparing oxygen, converging- light rays with magnifying lenses, learning to properly focus a microscope and observing various specimens, and preparing distilled water. The club is under the direction of Miss Prutzman and Mr. Kreider. The supervision of the work for the various groups is delegated to students who are familiar with the arrangement of the science rooms and stock closets. INTRA-MURAL AT E. G. H. S. The intra-mural club inaugurated a new system this year. That is, it eliminated all boys and girls who play varsity sports from its membership. This was done in order to accommodate boys and girls who wanted to play football, basketball, baseball, etc., but did not have the ability to make the varsity squads. This club meets Tuesdays on the school grounds in warm weather, and in the gym in winter. The club was directed by Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Neiman and Mrs. Moser. The record of our athletic teams in the past few years seems to answer all questions of accomplishment, however, any time during the day, whether in gym class, during lunch hour or after school, you can see our boys and girls in action playing with more poise and confidence, because of increased knowledge of the games and better coordination and ability, acquired only through practice and experience. MODERN DANCING CLUB The purpose of the social dancing club is to teach the basic social dancing steps to those students who heretofore have never had an opportunity to dance. Another aim is to give added confidence to those persons who already dance, assuring them and their dates of a more smoothly running social life.
