CLUB Last year the Seventh and Eighth Grades started the Teen Age Book Club, and we enjoyed it very much. The idea of this club is to get students to read more books. First the students read the kind of book they want, then they pick out an interesting part in the book and make a skit. This is supposed to interest the students in readmg these books. Mrs. Arthur, our sponsor has done a great job, in helping us promote T. A. B. Club.
