The of- ficers this year were as follows: Joseph Hamilton, President: Gladys Wilcox, Vice-President: Margaret Bradbury, Secretary: and Dixie Elkins, Treasurer. The elections are held at the beginning of' every school year and the officers hold their positions until the end of the year. The club was named i'Abur. Espanol llrli, Spaniardj. The meetings are held on the iirst and third Thursdays of each month and special meetings may be called whenever necessary. There were about fifty members in the club during the year, which included some Spanish pupils from Martin Boots and some members who were not taking Spanish. The object of the club is to create a greater interest in Spanish by help- ing the members to become familiar with the use of Spanish in speech and to have social activities conducted along Spanish lines and with Spanish customs. The emblem of the club is a pin of black and gold letters, A. E.. set in the black center which is surrounded by a gold rim. The requirements for membership in the club are one year of Spanish and a grade of 85 or better. If the enthusiasm so far made manifest continues. the school may count herself fortunate to have the organization made a permanent asset.

Those who felt the call of the stage in their blood grouped themselves into the organization called the Dramatic Club: the gentle followers of Vergil into the Latin Club, for protection. Thus the Literary Club was formed. A goal composed of two definite purposes was established immediately. First: to arouse more interest in the classics as well as in modern literature. and second: to discover the rising poets and authors of the future. Without a doubt they have been found. We say and say it without fear of successful contradic- tion that some of the poems written by the members will be inscribed, at some time in the Hall of Fame. The meetings were held on the nrst Tuesday after the first Monday of every month.
