DEFENSE READI G CL B This Club was inaugurated under the name of The Creative Reading and Writing Club. However, since at the present time the most important reading that anyone can do is that which will better fit him to protect his life and property, we have adopted the new name and restricted our reading to those articles having a direct bearing on civilian defense. The articles that have been brought into the meetings and read during the Club periods were very instructional. They contained information concerning such vital topics as: airfraid protection, Hghting incendiary bombs, firsteaid, effective blackfouts, etc. The aims of the Club will be accomplished if through these articles its mem' bers, and also the members of their families and others to Whom they might pass on the information garnered, better prepare themselves to combat and protect themselves against the implements of destruction which the enemy can well be expected to use.

DANCING CLUB Under the excellent supervision of Misses Coyne and Bailoni, the Dancing Club became one of the most outstanding Clubs in the high school. With the cooperation of the Club monitors and the Club itself, Misses Coyne and Bailoni began the grinding task of the noneftwofslide, oneftwofslidef' Of course, it took time and patience in the beginning for the girls and boys to over' come their faults and self-consciousness, but their efforts were well rewarded after a few weeks' practice. As you know, the Club was formed mostly for students who did not know the technique of dancing. Perhaps we didn't turn out any Fred Astaires or Ginger Rogers, but the comparison wouldn't be so bad after all. The Senior members of the Club regret their leaving, because the years to come will surely bring progress and enjoyment with such competent directors. OFFICERS President . ......

FICCA For the past eight years our school has been the judge of many fine plays produced by the Mimic Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss C. C. Cannon and Mr. S. C. Ficca. The latest of these performances was The Tin Hero. Many onefact plays were presented in Club periods and assembly. These were highly entertaining and were enjoyed by all those in attendance. The benefits derived are many. The pupils become accustomed to public speaking and learn to speak slowly and clearly. They overcome their retiring dispositions, and the pleasure of taking part is invaluable. The Mimic Dramatic Club is one of the best in our school, and with the continued cooperation of the pupils it will retain its high position. PAGE 41
