Students Join Clubs Which Will Be Of Future Help The German Club is in its first year and is getting a good start. The members en- large their vocabulary of German each week by learning different conversational phrases. The members enjoy their new vocabulary and feel that they may someday have an even greater use for it. Mr. Kuhn is the instructor. The Magic Club also meets with Mr. Kuhn. These members try to prove that the hand is quicker than the eye as they try their tricks on each other. Some of the tricks in- volve the use of equipment such as ropes, coins, or cards. The members of the Dramatics Club have enjoyed themselves by reading and rehears- ing several one act plays. They have done comedies, farces, and more serious types of plays. Nearly every member is given the opportunity to portray a character in the plays given. The students of the German Club try to figure out the German expression on the blackboard. Pro- nunciation is also a task to be accomplished in learn- ing a new language. The members of the Dramatics Club enjoy being in plays as well as watching other members perform. Some of the characters are displaying their ability in enacting a short play. Top hats are old-fashioned when it comes to the displays these students give. Cleverness and fun do a fine job in entertaining these magicians. 23
