The cluh, which is conducted as a service club, meets every Wednesday noon at 12:1 5 in the dining room of the Hillings Commercial Club. In 1927, when the school was in its infancy, there was no place for a general assembly. Through the leadership of Dr. McMullen this cluh was organized, and the Hillings Commercial Cluh was chosen as the place for the weekly “get-together. The officers, a president, a vice-president, and a secretar -treasurer, are elected by the student body, and they in turn select assistants, who arrange the program for the week, and preside for the day. The main purpose of the cluh is to serve as a general assembly. Its service to the city of Hillings is the carrying out of the annual Red Cross drive. The 1929 campaign was the most successful one ever held in Hillings. ()ne of the most outstanding features of the Luncheon Cluh program this year was the dinner in honor of Miss Anna Hird Stewart, noted lecturer and children's poet. Other guests at the dinner were the co-operating teachers of Hillings, and the memhers of the Hoard of Kducation. On January 22, the Luncheon Cluh entertained the basketball team from the State Normal College at Dillon. [-’61
