At the end of each spring prizes are awarded for the best articles submitted. Several other activities were seeing the play, Papa ls All , selling refreshments at one of the basketball games, and par- ticipating in many events which were conducted within the club itself. The officers for the year were Don Graham, president, Mar- jorie Blank, vice-president, Phyl- lis johnson, secretary, Grace Szosz, treasurer. Miss Marjorie Stoffregen acted as adviser for the club. Looking back through the school year, We find the zodiac sign for each month has favored the Senior Literature Club in many successful activities. Un- der the guidance of Capricorn- us, the club took the goat by the horns and celebrated the yuletide season with a Christ- mas fling. Preceding events evidenced more partiality from the signs of fate when the club had book discussions, guest speakers- one of Whom was Mrs. Robert Schofield with South America as a subject, picnics, and parties.
