It was founded to stimulate the interest of its members in the literary activities of Laredo High School. For a flower, the sweet pea was chosen, for colors, white and gold grand for motto, HNothing Was Ever Achieved Without Enthusiasm. The club was founded by Miss Lou Vena Siros, and under her advisorship the cup was won in 1925. The second advisor to the club was Mrs. Floy G. Moore who helped the club to win first place again the following year. Under the direction of Miss Bessie Forgotston, in 1927 the members worked hard and earnestly, but failed to get the coveted cup. The club members are now keenly interested in regaining the lost cup, and under the guidance of Miss Aminta Gonzalez, feel that their goal is already in sight. TOP ROW:-Miss Gonzalez, Sponsor, A.

A f P fll PLA Plfl-lg-H 1 Kim club N the year 1927, the Kim Klub was organized. Its primary object being to review some of the most prominent modern fiction books written by the most prominent modern authors. The members of the club were at first very per- plexed over the naming of their society, but it was soon decided to name it after the heroine of f'Show Boat by Edna Ferber. The first regular meeting of the year was for the purpose of electing officers. After very able girls were chosen for positions, the flower, the Regina Corona, the colors, pink and whiteg and the motto Reading is the light of knowledge , were chosen as the clubs ensigns. Some of the books that have been reviewed this year are: The Blue Window, The Red Lamp, Show Boat, and others. The members of the Kim Klub seem to enjoy the programs as well as the reading of the books. This club has a very bright future if the girls will continue to give it their support.

. ES . I LAiiP1'Qg-WYA 1 The N ike Club NCE upon a time, a club by the name of Nike, meaning Victory, was organized by the students of Laredo High. All of this happened in the year of 1919, and it was brought about by Miss Josephine Smith, then a teacher in Laredo High School. The first members chose for their colors, green and gold, for their flower, the Marchal. Neil Rose, and for their motto, No Laurels without Laborn. The cup has been kept by the Nike club all but two years, and now it is the ambition of the members to keep the cup, and make it theirs permanently. It is through the hard work and steady guidance of the club 's advisor, Miss Mary Francis Doss, that the girls have kept the club up to its high standard. One day, the girls decided to elect their mascot, Betty Ruth Wade, a true little Nike member. The girl members of the club are a peppy and lively crowd and always work hard for the honor and glory of the word, Nike . TOP ROW:-K. Aldridge, H. Ancira, M. Anderson, B. Biggio, B. Bryan, L.
