The work of the early part of the year included individual reports on phases of civic life, and days devoted to current events regarding civic life. At the present time the club is making an extensive study of Commander Richard Byrdis Antarctic Polar expedition. Morris Marcus has drawn a large scale map of the South Pole regions, and as the Byrd expedition makes new discoveries these are recorded on the map. A valuable part of this study is the group construction of a Byrd Expedition scrap book and each of the club members is to contribute clippings and pictures to this volume. When completed this scrap book is to be presented to the Library. Much profitable time was spent by the club in drawing up a constitution. Some of the changes introduced on the standard type are quite interesting. One of these makes the room adviser the club treasurer. Mr. Klaifke is club adviser. Forty-One

Harold Fiterman BOYSi CIVIC CLUB HE Civic Club, as its name implies is made up wholly of boys. The aims of the club are to make better citizens and business men, to teach cooperation by means of teamwork and to beautify the school yard. The members of the club have already created a beautiful garden out of the once uninteresting looking west court. All the money which the boys have spent on their project has been raised by candy sales which they have given themselves. Business and professional men have spoken to the boys on various subjects in their own school room coming in contact with them and giving them glimpses into the business and professional world. These talks have showu the boys that good business and professional men make good citizens. This club has served the school by helping to make the surroundings more pleasing to the eye. It has been of service to the boys in that it has taught them to work together in groups and it has fastened a desire in the boys to beautify their surroundings. Mrs. Brett Moran is their adviser and pal? Forty

It is composed of forty-hve boys under the direction of Mrs. Cowling. t The aim of the club is to assist boys who are interested in the life and events of the past, by directing their reading and providing a place for discussion. Sub- jects for study are selected by vote of the club. At present we are finishing a six weeks course in early Egyptian history, and the monuments of olden times which still remain. Most of the material we have used has been secured from the Public Library. All meetings of the club are presided over by the officers of the organization, and business is conducted in regular parliamentary form. The History Club has tried to uphold true Lincoln standards. All members are expected to do their share of work on all projects started by the club, and by their loyalty and general good conduct to be a credit to our school which offers them this opportunity.
