We elect- ed the following oflicers: President Ernest Gorten Vice president Inez Sewell Secretary and Treas. Virene Booth At present there are twenty-five members in the club. In order, to be eligible for membership to this club, you have to receive an 'N' or an 'N' certificate. To receive this, you must participate in sports, such as basket- ball, softball, baseball, cross country, or be in the Glee Club for three years. At last assembly the coaches will present to the deserving students, an 'N' or 'N' certificate which will make them eligible for the N club next year. We are hoping to have many new members. We have not planned many activi- vities this year because the many other clubs have kept the students busy. Before the school year comes to an end, however, we plan to help sponsor the Bulldog Jamboree.
