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

Clubs Emphasize Many Different Interests One can always tell when The Stamp and Coins, Archery, or Ping Pong Clubs meet be- cause of the eager sound of the voices of the members adding their ideas to the others presented. The members of the Stamp and Coins Club spent their club time showing their collec- tions and trading with the other members in the club. Mr. Wilier, the club sponsor, met with the club. The Archery Club did most of its shooting at Franke Park. Even on rainy or snowy days the Archery Club participated in their sport by using a pavilion at the park. The sponsor was Mr. Ginder. Under the direction of Mr. Young, the Ping Pong Club members developed a great skill in their sport. Various members of the Stamps and Coins Club inspect and display various kinds of coins collected throughout the year. The technique of shooting an arrow is shown by members of the Archery Club. Each member pro- vided his own bow and proceeded to learn the skill of becoming an accurate archer. The members of the Ping Pong Club are getting a lesson in the correct technique for holding the pad- dle. The members of the club set up their tables in the cafeteria each week and then enjoyed themselves as they played, remembering the fundamentals they learned during the past year. ' gff ' j
