26 THE ECHO CLUBS THE ASSOCIATION On October 9, 1937, the association for the fifth year was begun with one hundred and thirty members, under the management of Miss Knutson. As most of the students now realize, the Association greatly benefits its members, allowing them to attend most of the school entertainments free of charge or at a reduced price. The plan of operation for the Association is as follows: I The students pay 10c a week for thirty weeks, a total of $3.00 II For this sum the member receives entrance to the following activities: Basketball games (8 (a 25c) $2.00 Senior play and the Senior dance .70 Junior dance .35 Assemblies (5 (a? 10c) .50 The Echo Yearbook .35 Class Dues .80 Reduced rates to: Athletic plays Rifle Club entertainment III At least one hundred pupils must join if the association is to be run. Of course the more that join, the more that can be offered. Last year the Asso- ciation was able to offer SI. 00 above the promised amount, because the number that joined far exceeded the minimum requirements. It is a great asset to the school and deserves recognition. FRENCH CLUB The French Club officers are president, George Jones; secretary, Alice Franklin; and supervisor, Miss Bartlett. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club has no officers. Club members are as follows: R. Finlay, R. Franz, W. Saville, R. DeWolfe, F. Vascovitch, J. Towns, W. Seav- erns, H. Nason, J. Williams, S.

The entertainment started with the game of Musical Chairs. Next came relays with basketballs. The girls’ team won. Then some of the Freshman boys dressed in girls’ clothes came out on the gym floor and proceeded to play a game of basketball. They caused a great deal of merriment. Refreshments were served. Major Bowes, alias William Saville, arrived on the scene and held an amateur contest. Next came a mock wedding with Harry Spieler as the “blushing bride” and Marie Smith as the groom. The movie of “Jack the Giant Killer” was shown, and the program closed. The pupils left with the memories of a pleasant evening.
