As work in fundamentals aims to estab- lish as a habit the use of basic princi- ples, the student body should learn ex- actness through this carefully planned phase of work. As instruction in com- position aids in the writing and the ap- preciation of effective compositions, Murphy High School pupils should be able to write and also to appreciate them. Courses in dramatics, journal- ism, and public speaking give talented pupils a chance to travel the road of their special interest. To promote and regulate their various interests, the Fundnmcntali and the Supplement have been combined. The material in new and more modern textbooks, which holds the interest of pupils, has been placed on a regular schedule and as a result is more beneficial to the pupils through organization, carefully planned. The latest books have been purchased by the English Department so that the course of study for the English Department will be in accord with modern progress.

Tap-Tap-Tap Under the expert supervision of Mrs. M. Chancellor, the Yo Tappa Kees was formed in 1934. As the number of perspective members increased Mrs. Chancellor found it necessary to limit the membership to the members of her advanced stenography classes. At each of the club’s semi-monthly meetings one of the prominent business men of Mo- bile was invited to dictate to his inter- ested audience, and to tell them some- thing of what he expected of a stenog- rapher. During the past year the Yo Tappa Kees had as their main project the organization of a talent division. The “talenteers” were gifted underclassmen who enjoyed putting on programs for the various organizations of the school. The officers elected at the first meet- ing were: President, Eleanor Montiel; Vice-president, Lucille Jones; Secre- tary, Jamie Redwood; Reporters, Mari- lyn Parker and Margaret Welch, and it was principally through their untiring efforts that the Yo Tappa Talenteers was formed. Acting as the Major Bowes of Murphy High the officers and their committees discovered much hid- dent talent. 13

The senior players, a very important division of the Four Arts Club, being made up entirely of Juniors and Seniors, has endeavored this year to learn through experience the antics of acting and the art of public speak- ing. To obtain their goal the club presented for the entertainment of the students and interested outsiders, three outstanding one-act plays which brought all other attainment to a showdown. posed of Freshmen and Sophomores, has as its purpose to foster the very best in dramatics and to study plays, playwrights, and actors. The members receive excellent training for acting in public and in developing self-confidence in public speaking. The purpose of the Creative Writers Club, under the sponsorship of Miss E.
