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.

President JEANNE MCKANE . Vice-President HILDA PETERS . . . Secrelary DOROTHY WALTE RS .......... Treasurer The Intermediate Dramatic Club was organized by Miss Dorothy Garber. Composed of thirty charter active members, it aims to acquaint them with the traditions and the experiences of the stage. Each member is to have a chance to develop his skills and his dramatic ability. The club presented an assembly program in which was included the play, Sauce for the Goslingsf, On April 23 it sponsored an Open House Program for the entertainment of parents and friends. The program consisted of two one-act plays, declamations, and musical selections. Dramatics have much inHuence on the life of a student, for the values received from the training are abundant and lasting. The ability to help another person shine in the spotlight while the worker remains out of sight is also a most desired reaction. Co-operation is enlarged upon in dramatic training. The students must co-operate in their future lives and, therefore, the teaching of co-operation now is most pertinent. A pleasing personality is developed, and the student gains a working knowledge of the stage from an inside angle. Industry, originality, initiative, and good humor are qualities nourished by experiences before audiences. The Intermediate Dramatic Club meets on Tuesdays at 3:40 P. M. in the Little Theater.
