glee em I-IE Glee Club, a semi-business organiza- tion, is one of our newer intracurricular activi- ties which was worked into our schedule this year for the Hrst time. It was organized in the latter part of September, and its officers were elected as follows: Dick Broadclus, presi- dentg Ernestine Stultz, secretary-treasurer, and Curtis Givens, business manager. The School Board secured the services of Miss Dorothy Devans who instructed the Club twice weekly or more often. In spite of the handicap of inexperience and the problems presented by such a large number, marked progress was made from the very beginning. This organization provided a knowledge of music, as well as pleasure and entertainment, which will be very valuable to those who were fortunate enough to be in the group this year. 4 The Glee Club was composed of approxi- mately seventy-five boys and girls. On special occasions, Miss Devans divided this group into boys' and girls' divisions which furnished music for several of the school programs Miss Doizorm' DEVANS throughout the year. We realize that in the years to come, this activity will develop more and more toward the purpose of giving musical training within our school. X ' ' 'Y - - -1 D. Alexander D.

M4 GMA large organization is the Library Club, With forty-Hve members to raise a hub-bubg We meet and discuss what each one reads, And try to solve the Library's needs. We check books in and check books out, That we work Cand playj theres not a doubt g We straighten the shelves and water the plants, And working with Reference keeps us busy as ants. At times, we publish a paper on books, The Bookworm is worthy of critical looks, Spotswood's the editor, and she does it well, Edwards her assistant, as his illustrations tell. Doris runs the copies by ditto magic, She did it once with the result quite tragic. The president is famous for beauty and Grace, She leads the Drum and Bugle Corps at a merry paceg Frances Turner presides if the presidents away, She does her work well-with little to sayg Lena Moore keeps the records and calls the roll, Walker Weaver Walpcrt Widdows Atkins Walton Wood Berlin Broaddus Campbell Ch D.

Book Week comes but once a year, But it's the highlight of Bookish Cheer, We gave a Beauty Pageant of lovely heroines Ushered from Bookland by the Chesterfield Twins, With such a gorgeous array of beauty, The judges completely forgot their duty. After the pageant we had guests for tea, The number present was a sight to see- In February we held a School Hobby Fair The exhibits shown were both curious and rare, The blue ribbon was won by the Morse Brothers - With keen competition by many others, A miniature circus was on parade Complete in detail, except for pink lemon- adef' Second honor fell to Edward Wood I-lis drawings are under-rated by the adjective good, There were other collections of stamps and things, From elephants and coins to odd-shaped rings, The Library Club is up-and coming, We get things done and keep them humming.
