MEMO IRS NINETEEN THIRTY- IGHT Music Club HIC Music Club was organized by Miss Mary Robinson for students interested in instrumental music. The members with their instruments are: Pearl Keck and Charles Kuhns, accor- dionsg Grace licck, pianog and Phyllis Decker, guitar. During club periods they perform for one another, and criticize musical radio programs to which they listen individually outside of school. From time to time Miss Robinson discusses with them var- ious phases of music appreciation. Library Club NLY two students, Anna Pierok and Doris Shaner. respond- ed to the call issued by Miss Stehly for student librarians. This club should prove more popular in the future, inasmuch as it gives its members an opportunity to learn how to operate a library. The club periods were spent in arranging books on shelves, checking books in and out, mending old books and caring for new books. Debate Club HE Debate Club was organized late in the year by Mr. Biro as it was necessary to recruit an entirely new group of mem- bers, Some of the subjects debated upon were: Chain Store Problem, Unicameral Legislative System, and the Anthracite Coal Situation. Several debates were held with neighboring schools dur- ing the year. The members include Betsy Beardslee, Ruth Corn- feld, Samuel Ottinger, and David Scoblionko. Junior Red Cross Representatives UR Junior Red Cross Representatives, Grace Overdorf and Beatrice Snyder, have attended the meetings of this society for three years. These girls have served as a connecting link between the organization and our school. sixty-four

NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT MEMOIR Band HE band, with Mr. Miller as director, celebrated its first anniversary November 17, 1937. lVhen the announcement was made that a school band was to be organized, only five boys and one girl responded. These members were Francis Brown, Walter Pierok, Norman Carl, Francis Reed, Paul Kipila, and Alma Fry. Due to growing interest the band now totals fifty-three members. However, without the aid of Mr. Stettler, the financial support of the P. T. A., and the courtesy of the Moravian College Band, which lent a number of instruments, this organization would have been impossible. The school board also helped by purchasing a sousaphone and other equipment essential to the band. They have entertained us on many occasions such as assemblies, P. T. A. meetings, patriotic programs, and basketball games at which they increased the enthusiasm of the Fountain Hill rooters. A bigger and better band should result in the future due to the fact that it is comprised largely of students from the Junior High and early high school years.
