The purpose of this club is to promote and develop social culture and school spirit. It is a girls' society and is limited to a member- ship of thirty, exclusive of post-graduates. In the past year, this club has done much to accomplish its aims. Chief among these are four outstanding accomplishments. First: the club has taught social dancing to over two hundred students, many of Whom had had no previous experience. Second: It spon- sored buses to take students to out-of-town football games. Third: It has given a number of tea dances and two evening dances. Fourth: It promoted a Welcome Day for new students in September. To its members, the Ergonian Society imparts a deHnite value by teaching them the benefits of co-operative work and by develop- ing a social consciousness and a knowledge of how to act in social situations which are a most important part of life today. This club holds its meetings on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. l23

Treayurer A boys' club through and through is our Boys' Club which is sponsored by Mr. Edward Devlin. The purpose of the club is to promote fellowship and personal well-being in the high school. The maximum membership of this club at any one time is thirty. In the social life of a high school, there is needed a spark to brighten things up. The Boys' Club has provided the necessary spark to the social affairs. It has conducted dances which have been very successful socially. It has also sponsored an assembly which depicted humorous colored life. At every business meeting, an outside speaker is en- gaged to address the boys on some educational subject of interest. Each member of the Boys' Club gains great value from this club in that its activities offer the opportunity for one to develop his social and personal character. The club holds its meetings the first Wednesday in every month.
