This year the Commercial Club became a chap- ter of the Future Business Leaders of America, a national organization. Only students, who have taken or are taking a commercial subject, are eligible for membership. The club sponsors speak- ers, movies and assemblies as a means of acquaint- ing the members with business. Under the guid- ance of Miss Ola Murray the club has continued to publish the school paper, the name of which was changed from the Commercial News to the Eaf’le Lights. 30

l rumatic One of the oldest clubs in the high school is the Dra- matic Club. The Dramatic Club limits its membership to students who have shown outstanding ability in dra- matics, both in acting and stage work. This year the Dra- matic Club gained many new members from the operetta, Meet Arizona, which was presented in December. In the spring the Dramatic Club usually enters a one act play in the Virginia Literary and Athletic League Dis- trict Two, One-Act Play Tournament, held in Fredricks- burg. Last year we presented Mooncalf for this contest. This spring the Dramatic Club is planning to present three one-act plays for the public and from these three plays select the one to be presented in Fredricksburg.

Our school paper, The Eagle Lights, had its beginning as a bulletin of the Commer- cial Club, circulating club news among the members. Within a short time it grew into a school publication, though still sponsored by the commercial students who composed the staff. The Eagle Lights is published four to six times annually. It is mimeographed and stapled by the staff and assistants recruited from the student body. It contains news, articles, and other items of interest to the students.
