Ja ,,, ., Min E2-: f me Y- -,-it -:- - Tl-IE-FUTURIST - -:- Clubs of Grove High School The visitor to Grove looked about himself with a surprised but plewed expression. Never before had he seen the students in such a hurry in the middle of the week. It was Wednes- day morning and rather early in the morning, too. If it had been Friday or even the last period ln the day it would have been easier to explain but why all the bustle and smiles at this time of the day? On asking one of the happy throng he was told, in a very pleasant Way, :that it was club day. Q When he inquired wha-t that might be he was given a very interesting account of the organization of clubs at Grove. Two years ago Mr. Smith came to Grove as principal. He was simply chucked full of new ideas for the broadening out of pupilsg the clubs was only one of them. The clubs take up all kinds of subjects: journalism, health, science, mathematics, astron- omy, books and magazines, home-care, and- numerous other subjects. Grove has several chapters of nationally known organizations. They have chapters of the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve. These clubs are interested in the welfare of the boys and girls and the school as a whole. The Agricultural class has a. chapter of F. F. A. Two new clubs were organized this year and Grove should feel highly honored to have them. One is the National Honor Society and the other, The National Athletic Scholarship Society. Both are nation-Wide societies and the members to them are a select few. Grove is lucky to have them. Some of the clubs have projects for which they are working or have worked. The Mary Atkins Girl Reserve bought a large flag and the Hi-Y got the flag pole and put it up. The Home Economics Club furnished a rest room for the girls. The Journalism Club has sponsored a page of Grove news in the papers each week. This has aroused the interest of the people in town in the activities of Grove school and they have been glad to cooperate with us when their cooperation was needed. The Biology Club has built bird houses and put them about where the weary little featheerd friends might build nests and be comfort- able and home-like. Each student, continued the boy, belongs to two clubs. The clubs are divided into two groups. Each club meets every two weeks. This enables each student to belong to more than one club and broaden out more. Everyone is interested in his or her club and can hardly walt until Wednesday morning comes, so as to get to the meeting. 'I'he stranger dismissed the lad to go to his club and as he went on toward the door he noticed a list of the different clubs on the bulletin board. As he read this list he be- came more and more interested. Probably you too would be interested in the clubs at Grove and following is a list of them: Boys' Glee Club. National Athletic Scholarship Society. Girls' Glee Club. Home Economics Club. I-Ij-Y, Biology Club. . F. F. A. Health Club. Girl' Reserve. N80-Pythagafea-H Club. Astronomy Club. Shakespeare Club. Radio Club. Citizenship Club. National Honor Society. Debating Club. Journalism Club. Science Club. Letter Club. ' Dramatic Club. Music Club, Fine Arts Club. Book Club. - Physical Culture Club. Story Telling Club. - History Club. And as he' walked down the hall he was heard to say, half to himself and half aloud, I move that we give Mr. Smith a rousing vote of thanks for helping the boys and girls, in this very beneficial way. I and the entire senior class second the motion. Dorothy McCall. 26

' ,l Kb if ' fr ---as ' I .lo- . -1- ,- G ' Section 12 of the regulations for grade A high schools in Tennessee is as follows: To be classed as a. grade A high school, the school shall furnish a suitable field for athletics and a gymnasium and shall conduct classes in physical education daily. This rule was brought before the Tennessee State Board of Education by Mr. W. A. Bass, High School Supervisor, and passed the board easily. A If a gymnasium were not essential why should the Board of Education pass a rule de- manding one? A gymnasium not only gives us a place in which to play basketball and train for other sports but it gives us a place for rr-creationand physical education. Organized play is a wonderful thing. Freidrich Froebel tells us that the plays of our younger life are the germinal leaves of all later life. Joseph Lee, in his book Play in Education tells us that the various plays fit the child to become citizen, soldier, scientist and creator. Oliver Wendell Holmes says, The discovery of the child by himself is in his playing. Gregory in his book, Better Schools, adds, It is young people's nature to play and We do them a gross injustice, when in our endeavor to build character, we ignore that tendency. Kirkpatrick tells us, Work interests lead us to make a living, while play interests enable us to live more fully the lives demanded by our natures. Can all these great philosophies be wrong? Do we want Grove, one of the oldest schools in Tennessee, dropped from the class A group? This will be done unless We get a. gymnasium. 19 31
