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.

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. Miss McNamara is the faculty adviser.

NEWSBOYST CLUB The Lincoln Newsboys' Club aims to raise the standard of social fitness of its members, and to offset unfavorable environmental inHuences. The club Tr intends to accomplish these aims by athletic x ?'T activities and the carrying out of group proj- T. i ects to impress into the minds and hearts of boys a finer conception of clean living, clean thinking, and unselfish service to their fellow- men. This club was organized last February under the leadership of Mr. Weld. It is com- posed of twenty-five wide-awake hustlers. During the spring and summer months. the club conducted a successful season in baseball. Soccer in the fall, and basketball in winter occupied the boys' time out of doors. In the spring and summer months, the careless walking of the pupils on school lawns presented a new difficulty. Members of the club were stationed at intervals around our building to guard our lawn. Offenders were brought before the next regular meeting of the club, which acting as a court of justice, heard charges and defense and administered punishment as the occasion warranted. Wm
