CIVICS CLUB—Continued Our third aim was a study of parliamentary procedure. At each meeting certain important points in parliamentary procedure were discussed and put into practice during the meeting. Our fourth, and last aim, was to stimulate interest in, by visits to and reports of places dealing with public and historical affairs. This aim has not as yet been carried out, but during the month of May plans have been made to visit our municipal buildings, Jamestown and Williams¬ burg, and perhaps other places. The membership of this club is restricted to those stu¬ dents in the Civics and Problems of American Democracy classes making passing grades; those who have had either course; and any Junior or Senior student who is interested in this line of activity. If you are eligible come and join us! —Andrew Christensen, President. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Watch us grow! We have fifty members this year! Our club has cooperated with the other Home Economic Clubs of Virginia in endowing a room in the Crittendon Home for Cripple Children, in order to accommodate, free of charge, any dependent student, from this school, who should go there. We have pledged to pay $135.00 annually to this home for the next five years. An interested party has lately donated a number of books to our library, thus increasing the number of volumes fifty per cent. A vocational pin, to be worn by all Home Economics girls in the South, has been selected. There are four sym¬ bols of the club on this pin. A fireplace representing “Home Making,” a cornucopia of plenty, the emblem of “Cookery,” a spinning wheel representing sewing, and a cradle, the emblem of child care. As community service project, the students made a layette for a baby. The Red Cross furnished the material and will attend to its distribution. The Club has grown to be one of the most outstanding organizations in Hopewell High.

CO-OPERATIVE STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Co-operative Student Government Association was established in our school in the spring semester of 1928. The aims and the success of this type of government justi¬ fies, we hope, its continued existence. This form of government has made schol life more interesting, and at the same time trained the students to become better citizens. The officers who were elected each semester were: President, Vice-President and Secretary- Treasurer. The sponsor was appointed by the principal, while the two faculty members of the council were elected by the faculty. The Student Council, which was made up of a represen¬ tative from each home room and the three faculty mem¬ bers, met once a month to transact the business of the Association. The President and Vice-President, with the aid of the sponsor, appointed the following squads: Usher, Traffic, Sanitation, Program and Library. In the working of these squads we learn real cooperation. Our association has been made a member of the “Junior Community League” of the State. There has developed each semester a continued response on the part of all to make our government a success. William E. Pritchard, President. CIVICS CLUB The Civics Club of Hopewell High School was organized this year by the students of last year’s Problems of Ameri¬ can Democracy and Civics classes. The Civics Club has four definite aims which they have carried out to the best of their ability. The first aim was to stimulate interest in civic affairs throughout our school. We carried this out by controlling the Co-operative Student Government election each term, and by backing with our co-operation every objective which we thought would bene¬ fit the school. Our second aim was to help develop self-expression, self¬ reliability, and self-opinion. Self expression has been car¬ ried out in the club by placing the members of the club in various offices and on committees. Self-opinion was stimu¬ lated in the discussions held at each meeting of the club. —21—
