FLOUNDERS Fall Spring Irene Moschell President June Lennon Marilyn Mooney Vice-Pres. joan Holmes Tom Pruter Sec.-Treas. Laurel Marthorsr Flounders, the only club in the school exclu- sively for freshmen, was founded by Miss Athena Fischer in the spring of 1937 with the aid of its first president, Barbara Wallace. The name Flounders suggested by Barbara and Mrs. Wallace, means to orientate the new in- coming freshmen. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the new members of the school with the many different clubs and organizations and to make them feel that they belong here. All members of the Student Association are eligible to become members if they are in their freshman year. At each meeting there is a representative from one of the various clubs, the Student Court, or the Student Association to explain the functions and purposes of the different or- ganizations around school. They also have entertainment in the form of freshman talent. The playing of the accordion and the piano, singing, and dramatic ability have been found among the talents of the members. Refresh- ments planned by the social committee also add to the enjoyment of all the meetings. The officers for the fall semester were Irene Moschell, president, Marilyn Mooney, vice- president, and Tom Pruter, secretary-treasurer. Spring semester ofiicers were june Lennon, pres- identg joan Holmes, vice-president, and Laurel Marthorst, secretary-treasurer. The club was guided and advised during the year by its two able sponsors, Miss Marion Castle and Mr. Morris Goldman. CURTAIN CLUB Fall Spring Emily Tatge President Barbara Wenner Ramie Schobinger Vice-Pres. james Chapman Gwen Fall Secretary Gwen Fall Rolland Tozer Treasurer Roland Tozer The Curtain Club holds its meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month in the Social Room. The president presides over the meeting and after the business, the students have a social meeting with various forms of entertainment. Occasionally the students get together and work up a short play. The club was organized for students inter- ested in dramatics and is maintained for that purpose. This organization has served the school in that it gives assemblies regularly or puts on plays to help raise money for worth- while organizations. The club has a sponsor, Miss julia Lorenz, who is a worthy and capable leader. Miss Lorenz, at various times, has obtained tickets for the students for both professional and college plays. In the fall semester the Curtain club gave, in an assembly, a one-act comedy entitled, The Undoing of Albert O'Donnell. This play was for the benefit of the Children's Aid. They re- ceived over 3100 from it. Another of the activities of the fall semester was the sponsoring of the play Tomorrow the World. About 30 students went to see the play, it was termed wonderful by everyone. To obtain membership in the Curtain Club, the student who is interested must try out before a group of picked judges, usually the officers. Those who are accepted are invited to join. In the past year the membership has been kept well up in the forties. Officers for the fall semester were: Emily Tatge, president, Ramie Schobinger, vice-presi- dentg Gwen Fall, secretary, and Rolland Tozer, treasurer. Elected in the spring were: Barbara Wenner, president, james Chapman, vice-presi- dentg Gwen Fall, secretary, and Rolland Tozer, treasurer. Page 27
