With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world's great cities . . . The words of Arthur O'Shaughnessy are equally true ol our New Dorp poets today. Under the aegis ol lvlrs. Grace E. Clark, the group meets, with a two-fold purpose: to read and appreciate the poetry of accepted wrilers in the English language, and to enioy the experience ol creating poetry of their own. l The annals ol American literature of the future will ring with the names of the scholar-scientists developed in the New Dorp l-ligh School Science Club. The club, with Miss Rita Gilligan at the head, has heard student speakers on various phases ol modern scientific lite: the prepara- tion of synthetic rubber, the demonstration of an electrical quiz board and of electrical signal devices, the preparation of denlilrices. Literature in Life guides the Poets Richard Swier, Rose Rigatii, Mrs Cl k L Boone, William Elgen.
