HISTORICAL CLUB The Historical Club was organized in February, 1927. Our purpose is to study interesting periods of the world's history and the lives of its great leaders. a We have spent several weeks on the life of Napoleon and the French Revolution. At present, we are studying the life, religion, and laws of the Greeks, as a preparation for the study of the achievements of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. We plan to study early Egypt and Rome as well as the Crusades and then some more modern iigures and events. We hope to have time to read more of the great historical novels. However, utruth is stronger than 13c- tion as we have all learned since we began this course of reading. The club has twenty-two enthusiastic members. Mrs. Cowling is the faculty adviser.

THE TRAVEL CLUB The Club was organized With the slogan See America Firstf' The vastness of our country blurs our vision The details of nearness are I j confusing. We fail to see the forest because of the trees Our aim is to get a bird 8- eye view of the United States, to know the places of real in- terest in our country, and, having seen them, learn to paint word pictures for those whose travels have not been along our way. Our iirst project was to see our own state in order that we might discover the position it holds in comparison with other states in its opportunities for health, wealth, and recre- ation. To summarize our work on Minnesota, we debated the question, iiResolved that Minne- sota is the best state of the Union in which to live.' The work is carried on with the aid of books, pictures, and slides from the Library. MR'MWLOFF Mrs. Morrison is in charge of this club

CIVICS CLUB The Civics Club aims to stress social effi- ciency among its members It is especially trying to create interests connected with our leisure time outside of school because one of the urgent problems of social adjustment is to keep young people happily and busily occu- pied during time of thei1 own control. That is one of the reasons we are interesting our- selves in gardens this spring Many of our members are going to have gardens of thei1 own. We plan to build a walk with moneV which the club has earned. The club will add to the fiower garden and anticipate sev- eral trips for gathering specimens. Among the past activities of the club we list the followinge-a campaign for good A manners two debates with the Public Speak- ing Club and an Armistice Day program. in the auditorium.
