THE PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATING CLUB The Public Speaking and Debating Club 18 composed of forty members. T hey aim to overcome their poor speech habits, and strive to learn how to assimilate material on a subject and put it into logical order for a speech and then deliver it effectively. For practice work they have pretended to broadcast speeches held mock trials: and given banquet speeches With one person act- ing as toastmaster. They have worked on extemporaneous U speaking and worked up speeches on subjects ' of school interest and sponslored pep meetings . , to put across school projects such as the 2 budget plan. A playlet called The Three 4; . i Pixies was written and given by them to promote the sale of Christmas seals. An eX- temporaneous speaking and an oratorical con- test have been held in the auditorium. Much of the time has been devoted to de- bating. Several interesting debates have been held this year.

DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club of Lincoln though only four years old has grown so large that in September of the past year a special ninth grade club was organized, leaving the orig- inal club a membership of thirty-two with Miss Beedon in charge. The club this year has made a study of American speech habits, and has tried to cor- rect or improve at least a few of our typical speech errors. Another aim of the club has been to develop an appreciation of the better things in literary and dramatic productions. 0r helds.

LIBRARY CLUB There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away With this chantey the Library Club set sail. They learned first how to keep their craft ship-shape, each volume neat and in its proper place. In the sea of books the card catalog was their mariner's compass, and the Readers' Guide was the star to steer by among the maga- zine waves. Shivering timbers! Those en- cyclopedias, how they were overhauledf Once the sailors landed at a foreign port and in the bindery of the Main Library observed how worn books are made new. In the Museum they studied the ways of strange bugs and friendly reptiles. They have gathered to- gether the history of the school and are col- lecting programs of all entertainments given here. In gaily colored booklets go the names of the books the voyagers read. They are off for the haven of Better and Better Reading with the guidance of Miss Crosby, our 1i- brarian.
