HANDIWORK OFFICERS: Sec.-Rose Wehinger Pres.-Jean Keel Treas;-Helen Lewis V.Pres.-Helen Klassy Spon.-E.Mueller One of the popular girls' clubs is the Handiwork Club where they can do all manner of interesting things by hand such as, embroidery, needle-point, and bracelets. Miss Mueller, the club sponsor, has started these people in doing these tasks as an interesting pastime for educational, as well as recreational, purposes . Some of the novel things accomplished are: brass tapping, baskets, leather picture frames and billfolds. As a result of this activity many girls have discovered new hobbies and an interesting, useful way to spend their leisure time.The knowledge of these arts has also aided the girls in making useful and attractive gifts. ART CLUB Sponsor-Jeanette Anderson Turn your head a little more to the right. Now hold it. These are only a few of the likely phrases which can be heard in Art Club. It's existence is due mainly to Ruby Zwygart and William Maurer, who with combined efforts, promoted its organization. Now, that the Club has more experience and material with which to work, they expect to accomplish more the coming year. The most outstanding work has been done by William Maurer, who takes great interest in figure drawing. Other fields of work which have been pursued are sketching, cartooning, carving, water coloring, lettering, and oil painting. When the weather permits, the members are frequently seen outside making sketches. 27

TRAVEL CLUB OFFICERS: President - Leon Rabe V. Pres. - Bernard Lee Treas! Florence Maddrell Sponsor - Viola Norton When we went to California last year, we took a southern route and visited some places in Mexico. It was very Interesting. Well, I guess I'm not a3 lucky as you. I've never been East or West, but I have always had the desire to travel and to know what places are worthwhile seeing. Bits of conversation, such as this, may be heard each Tuesday as the members of the Travel Club, sponsored by Miss Viola Norton, meet to discuss the beautiful and historic places of interest in the United States. Various members of the club, as well as outside speakers, present talks on places of interest which they have visited, and slides are shown. The national parks of the United States that have been discussed and slides shown, are Glacier, Yellowstone, Messa Verdi, Grand Canyon, Bad Lands and Elack Hills of South Dakota, Carlsbad Cavern of New Mexico, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and Yosemite in California. Information concerning the rock formations of the parks and why the parks are famous is also presented. Talks have been given on New Orleans, and points of interest in the Eastern United States, among them sections of Maine, New York City, Washington, D. C. and also Quebec, Canada. Besides these, talks on the above mentioned national parks,places in the West and Alaska have also been given. One, two and three day trips by auto to scenic places of interest in Wisconsin and surrounding states are planned, as well as one to two week trips. Each member of the club has a map on which he routes out the entire trip, marking places of historic and scenic interest that may be visited on the way. The first objective of the Travel Club is to acquaint the members with the places of beauty and historic value in their own state and the United States where they may travel. The second one is to teach them how to recognize the beauty of the country through which they travel. 26

Pres. - Dorothe Mae Larson Sponsor - Margaret Haugen Within the walls of our high school we have what promises to be some of the future stars of Broadway and Hollywood. What am I talking about? I am talking about our Dramatic Clubs. Because of the great interest in dramatic work, the clubs are held on two days, Miss Margaret Haugen's club meets each Tuesday. At Christmas time several members of the club presented The Ring and the Look a one-act comedy centering around a ring which belongs to the leading man, Archie Myers,and is coveted by several girl friends, as well as his best girl, portrayed by Norma Archibald. To complicate affairs his sister, Dorothe Mae Larson, also desires the ring. At the end, however, everything turns out all right. Besides this work, several one-act plays and short stories have been read by various members of the club. Pantomines have been given and plans for a demonstration of makeup were made. Two one-act plays, Swamp Spirit and Up Stage were prepared and presented before the members of Miss Patricia Damon's Monday Club. Members of the cast in the Swamp Spirit .
