■ (bit Qhib OFFICERS MIKE CAMPBELL LESTER RAMSEY DOROTHY WHITE (Whole Year) President Vice-President Secretary The Art Club worked its way, quietly, through the football season with the usual number of posters for the advertising of games. The Freshmen learn to do their hand printing and decorating on posters, and it gives them pleasure to see their handiwork in the various windows downtown. The Christmas scene for the hall was done by Elba Squires, Myron Campbell and Janet Adams. The Christmas tree was decorated by Ruth Ingram, Lucille Moss and Shirley Cox. Various individual projects have been completed with varying degrees of success, such as moulding of animal figures with paste and paper, carving in wood, block chalk and soap, illustrating favorite songs and stories, and doing short poems in illuminated Old English print. These made up our general exhibit for Public School Week and our Parents' Night. Social activities have been limited this year but we always manage to make our meetings for any purpose social enough for most of us, even while drawing designs for F.F.A. invitations to the Parents' and Sons' Banquet or painting table favors and decora- tions for a Schoolmasters' Dinner.

Sfiaadv CbdA, (flub OFFICERS FALL SPRING MARY JANET FINNEY President LENORA EDWARDS BERTIE LOU STENZEL Vice-President VIRGINIA McCLANAHAN DICK PEEKEMA Secretary CAROL WATERS Work in speech arts has consisted of study of voice control, stage poise, correct enun- ciation, speeches, extemporaneous debate, interpretation of poetry, radio speech, and drama. The casting of plays has been hampered seriously by our lack of boys in the class. Dick Peekema, Robert Smith and Forrest Duranceau have carried the brunt in mascu- line parts. We put on several one-act comedies and one serious play. Love in Bloom and Sob Stuff seemed to be the most popular with our audiences. Sob Stuff was requested by the Rotary Club of Gridley and the Kiwanis Club of Live Oak and the cast went through ther antics for the tired business men.'' The latter generously used the words talent and clever. Our patriotic program, except for a few spots, was a failure. Unfortunately the chairman set the wrong mood. As special projects for the year the club suggested a new plan for assemblies and rallies which was carried out successfully, and bought a cyclorama and furniture for the small stage in the social hall. The club's funds were not sufficient for the latter, so the school helped to pay for the furniture and curtain. The chief objective of the class has been to help raise the general standards of public speaking, assemblies of all kinds, and audience appreciation of student entertainment. We can only hope that this objective has been attained in a small measure. We can say, truly, that most of the things we attempted were fun. 2

After the regular initiation stunts, a potluck dinner and dancing followed. The annual Spanish Fiesta, honoring Pan-American Day, was changed somewhat this year. Although carrying out the theme of the Spanish Fiesta, idea of a masquerade ball was added. The marriage, divorce, and fortune telling booths, the breaking of the pinata, and the unmasking were the high lights of the evening. A grand march was held to choose the best masquerade costume. The gym was decorated colorfully. Bal- loons and confetti filled the air. A Spanish Club party was held toward the end of the year at the swimming pool. Everyone had a good time stuffing himself with food. The Spanish Club also sponsored an artists assembly this year.
