One of the different activities this year was the introduction into the school of a ping pong tournament. Bob Lee and Merle Hyatt were put in charge of the tables. We bet the Boys' Club purse was pretty flat after having to buy all the ping pong balls. We suggested that maybe they should have had a prize for the one who broke the least amount. A noon dancing class was started in an attempt to teach some of our stag line to be the hit of the party - in ten easy lessons for maybe morelj. The boys were assisted by the able direction of Miss Skram, Miss Noble and Mr. Bieber. Later on they held joint classes with the girls. - The boys also joined with the girls in putting up Christmas baskets and helped to give the unfortunate families a real Christmas. They had many interesting programs at their meetings. At one, Mr. Lee from Richmond Beach gave a very interesting talk on hobbies and drew some pictures for them. twentyffve

In true Girls' Club spirit this year the practice of introducing all new girls at the meetings was commenced in order to help the newcomers get acquainted and to make them feel more at home. You ask why the girls were all in middies every Wednesday of each week! just an oldffashioned custom - Middy Day. The strange noises coming from the gymnasium practically every noon were just the echo of the noon dancing lessons which were sponsored for the beneiit of the funfortunate?j ones who, as yet, had not learned the art of stepping on other people's toes. Of course they just couldn't get along without having big and little sisters for the girls were positive their little sisters couldn't possibly make the grade without big sisters. fMaybe they were wronglj Again this year the girls showed the true Christmas spirit by filling baskets for families less fortunate than they were. On March 27 the girls gathered enough courage to escort their boy friends for someone else'sj to the Leap Year Hop. Decorations of blue with silver stars lent a romantic atmosphere which naturally was a big hop toward the dance's success. - The girls ended their activities with the main event of the year, the Mother's Day Tea. A very interesting and appropriate program was supplied by members of the Girls' Club, following which, all sadjoumed to the gymnasium for refreshments and a final get together. twenty our

The Torch had its full share of members this year representing all three of the upper classes, but they did have a rather diiiicult time getting to' gether on their activities. Nevertheless the annual Torch dance which took place October 5 was certainly a credit to its name and was one of which the school had real reason to be proud. The dance floor was given a very warm and cozy atmosphere by the placement of easy chairs and couches along the walls, while lighted lamps and large baskets of flowers lent a graceful air to the whole room. They decided at one time to have an icefskating party, but at their next meeting this motion was overruled by one to have a swimming party. Still the members just couldn't agree, and at .their next meeting the swim- ming party was changed to a skating party which actually was held at Playland. A spilling good time was had by all. A number of the Torch members were privileged to usher at the 4 operetta and also at Commencement. Ofiicers for the year were Bernard Thomson, presidentg Maxine Lee, vicefpresidentg Helen Moy, secretary, Stanley Jennings, sergeantfatfarms. But wait-we have forgotten the better part of this organization-we com- pliment you, Miss McConihe, on your inspirations and loyal support. twentyfsix
