From the English point of view we have stressed clean-cut sentences, clear or- ganization, and an enlarged vocabulary. From the public speaking point of View, we have talked about the necessity of poise, of a pleasing, well-modulated voice, of enunciation and articulation, of good eye contact with the audience, and of pleasing animation generally. Our work has included story-telling, debating, and speeches on health, public safety, and current topics. Several of the smaller debates were conducted in the club on such subjects as: Japanese Exclusion; Capital Punishment; and Self- government in the Philippines. We held one large debate with the Latin club on the proposition: Resolved that Latin be eliminated from the Junior and Senior High Schools. This term we intend to do some work along a dramatic line. Miss Eich is faculty adviser. Thirty-Eight

The first semester the play, Nathan Hale; was presented at an evening per- formance. The second semester, ttSonnyeJanej, a comedy in three acts, was given as part of the second semester Budget program. Those taking part were, Beatryce Gross- man, Nathan Supak, Albert Sirrot, Frank Schochet, Martin Weisz, Bessie Fishman, Marion Brody, Mildred Friedman, Ann VVeinstein, Fanny Bix, Richard Seland, Helen Malinsky, and Shirley Snyder. In order that all members of the club might have the opportunity of appearing before a school gathering those not taking part in Sonny Jane made up the cast of The Polly-William Club? a short play given at an auditorium period. Part of the proceeds received was used for the purchase of stage equipment. Much time was taken outside of school hours for rehearsals but the members of the cast were unanimous in thinking that it was not only time well spent from a per- sonal standpoint, for the knowledge of dramatics gained and the spirit of good fellowship developed, but the returns in a monetary way were most satisfactory. Mrs. Morrison is the adviser and coach for this club. Thirty-Seven

The appearance of our building may be marred by careless marking of the walls, by throwing paper on the floors and by scattering debris on the lawns. The Club has undertaken to prevent such carelessness, when possible, and to clean up, when necessary. In the spring the club will care for the East Court. This will necessitate some new planting, some replanting, and cleaning up. Our members are planning to make home gardens this spring. They hope to introduce a competitive spirit which will Say it with flowers, as well as with carrots, onions, and pride. Above all, the members hope to make gardening con- tagious in their respective neighborhoods and thus increase the beauty of our com- munity. With this objective in view, the club will join the city iiClean Up Week, Campaign in April. Mrs. Bolinger is the adviser. Thirty-Nine
