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. Presiding this year and keep- ing the club's active enthusiasm in common channels, were Catherine Nelson, president, Marilyn Rovelstad, vice-presi- dentg Carley johnson, secretary, Iohn Darnell, treasurerg and Miss Elma Engelbrecht, sponsor.

Thus boys who have won Es have the glory and acclamation won not only by the letter itself but also from their qualifications as athletes for an organization which upholds athletic ability. However, the purpose of the club is not only to promote an interest in sports, but also to give boys with athletic ability a chance to voice their opinions in athletic administration. From the treasury of the E club comes pecuniary aid for financing grade school athletics as Well as special events in high school. Ushering and op- erating a check-room at bas- ketball games is also a part of the boys' yearly work, Initiation of new members is held twice a year, in the fall and in the spring, so that boys are not kept waiting a long time after obtaining Els to join the club.
