Edward Blazier ' T ' HIS year a new club appeared on the horizon at M( Kees Roclcs High School. For some time now. our school has been in need ol such an organization as the Art Club. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Blackball, this club has achieved considerable success. Those attractive posters seen around the S( hool are all the work of the energetic Art Club. These signs have helped many tic kel sales. They succeed in keeping the Junior and Senior Class plays before tiie eyes of the students. Clever posters also urge students to patronize the dances. The Art Club boosts the basketball team. During pep meetings, boys paraded up and down the auditorium with posters which injected hght and enthusiasm among the students. The work of the Art Club is striking and original. You will find few school organizations with such a worthy purpose as that of the Art Club. Mr. Blackball, with the aid of the officers of the club, has made this a thriving organization. n making posters, the student is (ailed upon to use his own imagination to produce some design which is original, and attractive, and interest- ing. We all wish continued success for the Art Club. C MATHEMATICS CLUB Presicleni Vice l rcsident OFFICERS William Sliwka Secretary Sam ( olliers I re.isurer W.,llrr (),„.., I, „k Irank DiCril .o IVTO.

Miss Haser ' s Glee Club. The Cecillians , can always be depended upon for a selection or two. Since many of the regulars were graduated. Miss Haser scouted around for talented girls who would work hard to make the Glee Club a worthy organization. So great was the desire of the girls to join this club, that Miss Haser was forced to limit the number to about thirty-five members. The girls worked hard and should be given credit for mastering several difficult selections. They should also be given credit for their cooperation in trying to take some of the routine dullness out of school life. The participation of the Glee Club in the May Concert helped it to be successful. The girls also took part in Chapel programs and displayed their talent during the National Education week. All except the Senior members sang at Baccalaureate Services. The Cecillians held a Christmas party and also a picnic at South Park. The Senior members received pins since they were the founders of the Glee Club. Their wish is that the underclassmen carry on the good vork, and that they may make the Glee Club worth vhile.
