CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY The work of this organization is similar to that of the Hiawatha Debating Society. A big event in the school year is the annual debate between these two societies. THE TIMOTHY CLASS Many of the young men at Minnehaha Academy are thinking seriously of the ministry or foreign missionary work. They have organized the Timothy Class to equip themselves better for active Christian work, and especially to train themselves in speaking along spiritual lines. Regular meetings are held once a week. The men of the Faculty are advisory members. THE RUTH CLASS The Ruth Class is a group of young women who are preparing for Christian service in the home or foreign field. The class meets once a week for the study of religious problems and for training in speaking and in Christian leadership. As an organization it is active in Christian work at school and in the churches of the Twin Cities. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS The athletic interests of the school are centered in the boys' athletic association, and a similar organization among the girls, under whose auspices all interscholastic events are arranged. Their work is supervised by a Faculty director of athletics. THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB This is another of the newer organizations of the school. It is composed of girls from the student body who possess ability and interest in singing. The director is Mr. Burns, the head of our Music Department. THE MISSION STUDY CLASSES A mission study class is a group of young people, preferably not over ten or twelve in number, that meets one evening a week to study some field of foreign missions. The series of studies continues through about eight weeks. The leader is usually a member of the Faculty. Certainly these studies have aroused an intelligent and growing interest in foreign missions and have also deepened the spiritual life of these students. THE QUIVER The Quiver is the school paper. It is published monthly by the students. Itself an important element in school life it seeks to portray and interpret all that enters into life at Minnehaha Academy. 13
