THE DROFLIMK Miss Wilbanks kept her little band of warriors marching down the line in fine style. While a few stragglers lagged behind, most of the regi- ment advanced. She made use of the sandpile in her room, and the pupils constructed many interesting things. The classes of Miss Trees and Miss Harbage took gym together and the pupils developed a sense of coordination and rhythm that was amazing. Miss Watkins with her usual calm assurance and capabilities left with her pupils a recollection of a pleasant year as we feel sure all Miss Watkins' pupils have had. Mr. Wilson capably imparted to his class the importance of the fifth grade in school work. He taught them to use their own initiative and to depend more upon themselves. Mr. Hare has one of the most important grades in school, we believe, because he has to prepare the pupils for junior high school. He went about this job with his usual efficiency and sent a fresh group of young people to the tender mercies of the seventh grade. Miss Runyan, a recent college graduate, brought some changes, one being the introduction of the paper called Current Events which tells simply and clearly the story of today's news. She also took over the work of a Camp Fire leader which she performs with the greatest of ease . Mr. Thiery dispatched another group of eighth graders into the mysteries of high school. He also coached a grade-school basketball team which did not lose a game. lf his well-known Chewy should cease to pull up to the back door every day, the eighth-graders would feel like orphans in a storm . -john Catch 1935 Page twenty-six

THE DROFLIM THE CLIONIAN CLUB ln 1932, a group of industrious students gathered in the history recita- tion room, and formed the nucleus of a history club which later was to grow into an enterprising association. The primary purpose of the club was to acquaint the students with a wider knowledge of history. After a constitution was drawn up by the founders of the club, defin- ing in it the qualifications for membership and the by-laws, Mr. MacDonald was chosen sponsor. ln order to be a member a student was required to maintain an average of 90 in history and 85 in all other subjects. New members were admitted every semester after two-thirds of the club had passed on their qualifications. Twice a month the meetings were held at the homes of the various members. Here, special reports on various historical and current subjects were given and discussed. Candy and Milford stickers were sold for the purpose of buying pins inscribed with the name CIionian . This name was adopted from the name of the Creek muse of History, Clio. The first members of the society were Ralph Waits, Audre Aiken, Charles Hartsock, Ruth Bush, Hope Drews, Betty Ansteatt, Katherine Roude- bush, Walter McDowell, Paul Riffle, and Eugenia Arndt. The Clionian Club has been an active society in the school. In the beginning the club intended to sponsor programs which would include speakers from Cincinnati. At the same time the members began an intensive study of local history, and they prepared a typewritten report of their study. ln 1933 the club presented five volumes of Caldwell's History of the United States to the school. The success of the club is apparent: it has become a permanent insti- tution in Milford Schoolg it is an honorary society. 1935 Page twenty-eight 1
