I uill lub Literary connoisseur Packard and his group of uwould be authors have written, hashed over, printed, and discarded an astounding number and variety of manuscripts during this past year, on every subject from uheren to Where. This group is aptly termed the Quill Club, be- ing experts on where not to put commas and for that matter on all forms of punctuation - the English Professor's nightmare. The Club began its fall activities with an informal outdoor meet- ing at Fallasburg Park. This was followed by sev- eral evening meetings in the homes of the mem- bers who had enthusiastically undertaken the project for the year - the production of a purely literary magazine for Junior College. The Club was fortunate in obtaining Mrs. John W. Pierson, noted author, to speak to them in November and it held its annual banquet during Christmas vacation at the Home .Tea Room. President .

The click of the camera and another film goes into the darkroom of the Camera Club. From still shots to perfectly timed action flashes the Club has done an exceptionally fine job this year with their advisor, Mr. Storr, strating to all members how to produce perfect celluloids. During the year the noon luncheon meetings were given over to a series of illustrated lectures portraying the practical application of the various phases of photography.

During the year at the Club's several evening meetings, outstanding downtown photographers were guest speakers. What constitutes good pho- tography was the subject matter of these discus- sions.

Attic Artists If, on a jaunt down the halls, you should come face to face with a real Bohemian - smock-cov- ered, paint-spattered - complete to the beret and palette, don't scream or faint but merely grab the nearest phone and call the fourth floor and notify Miss Babcock, artist superb, that one of her pets is loose again. Seriously, though, the School would be in a bad way without these attic paint-slingers and under the direction of Miss Babcock they have done a fine job this year in upholding the aesthetic repu- President .

The activities of the year began with a steak fry, sketching party, and a spread under the able leadership of President, Alice Meier. The Artist Brush, annual dance of the Attic Artists, went off with a bang again this year and the decorations were possibly the most distinctive of the entire season, 'portraying the typical artist and his equip- ment. Chairman, HBobby Teele and her hard- working staff could well be pleased at both the financial and social results of the party.
