Athcna Milchtll, Martha Nichpli Two years ago, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth O'Donnell, a group of interested Latin students formulated the idea of organizing a Latin club for the purpose of making the student better acquainted with Rome and Roman life and history. Meetings were held every two weeks and at these meetings programs were ar- ranged, Oral reports were given concerning Roman topics. As the club was in need of money to continue its activities the .ised funds by selling candy at the bas- ketball games. The club was active u year, and the year was very successful both financially and intellectually. A week before the closing of the high school for vacation, the Latin Club held a picnic for the members ofthe organization. The picnic was a great success and was very much enjoyed by all. The club disbanded for the summer and it will be organized again wich the opening of the next school term. fain dug l'ru.titlvril,Virginia lvladdalon Vi t'Lf Prvsulunl Dorothy Braidic Sei-remrv, julia l.uvandox'icl1 ll-I'KL1SllVL'!'-.-RUlll VVillig l 52

It was named the Freshman Literary Club. This year the club was reorganized and the name changed to the Literary Club with mem- bership limited to the Freshmen and Sophomores. The club, although young, is a very active one and has many plans for future activities. ln November, the members made and placed in the various class- rooms posters announcing National Book Week and encouraged other students to read. Varied and interesting programs were presented at the meeting. At one of the meetings, scenes from Shakespcares Taming of the Shrew' were pre- presented before the club members. They were given in modern dress with mem- bers of the club doing the dramatics, The club made a trip to an observatory in early May. The trip was made in the evening and visitors were invited. The Literary Club was the first school organization to purchase club pins. ffirxilrazi' rXfldI'lUl:ClC!'lllQQ,JCi1Y'l Stahl, Paul Kuzmich, Vlissj Kessler, Samuel Colliers, Ruth Dejohn, Natalie Wer- mic 1 .Xuronil ron' lliltla lirourman, Kliriam Glick, lfssie Brenner, lllinor Barefoot, Phoebe Rennekump.
