PURPOSES OF THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL The purpose of the Athletic Council is to organize an association which will include the entire student body.

The council, under the direction of Miss Marriner and Mr. Donahue, is made up of two boys and two girls from each senior high grade and one boy and one girl froin each junior high grade. They meet once a month to dis- cuss matters pertaining to athletics such as: the letter award systein, finances, helping at games. and sponsoring social activities for the be-nent of the athletic fund.

MANET 3-4' found who is willing to take the responsibility of sponsorship. In this manner, many of our most popular clubs have been originated. The list of thirty-five clubs gives an outlet to prac- tically every type of boy or girl, from the athletically inclined to the pupil who enjoys doing handicraft work. At past assemblies, some of our most inter- esting programs have been provided by groups such as the Glee Club, the Gymnasium Clubs. the Art Club, the Debating Club, and the Aeroplane Clubs. Read about these in the fol- lowing articles describing the activities of our various clubs. JANET ADAIR. ARCHERY CLUB Sponsor ................. ....... N Iiss Tufts President ....... ..... K enneth Harding Vice-President ............. Fred Cummings Secretary and T reaxurer Inge Thornton Clerk ...................... Arthur Hewitt The 'drst three or four meetings of the Archery Club were devoted to teaching the prospective archers the proper care and use of the bows and arrows. The actual shooting, weather permitting, is done at Faxon Field. During the winter, however, because of cold and possible snow, the shooting is done in the corridor at the rear of the cafeteria. Competi- tion is keen because individual scores are kept. Dues amounting to tive cents a week are collected for the purpose of replacing Worn or broken equipment, or, as in the case of last year, the members bought a new five foot lemon- wood bow at the end of the term. INGE THORNTON. ART CLUB Sponsor ................. Miss Mabel Smith President ....... ........ E dith Zottoli Vice-President .... ...... B Iary Sisson Secretary ............,.... Martha Collins The work of the Art Club. besides encourag- ing art appreciation, gives an outlet for self expression to the members of the organization. At the first of the year, Decorators' Color Charts were made. and as the club was late in starting, work on Christmas tea tile designs was begun immediately. Many unusual and intricate designs have been transferred and painted on the tiles for Christmas gifts. Soap sculpture will be the next unit to be taken up. BLOCK PRINTING CLUB s,m.mr ................... Miss ianaquisi President ...... .... I nge Hansen Secretary-'l'reasun1 .... Doris Lord The purpose of the club is to learn how to make block prints. Block printing is the trans- ferring of a picture to linoleum, cutting out the parts around the picture, and then covering the'raised surface with oil dye and finally printing it. At present we are making block prints for calendars, each month is represented by some appropriate picture. Later the club plans to make book plates and to paint wall hangings. THE BOOKBINDINC CLUB Span.,-or ........................ Miss Eko President ........... ..... B arbara Pitts Secretary-T1'easurer ............. Betty Day This club is at present making such useful things as letter cases, photograph albums, stamp albums, and envelope cases. The aim of this club is to teach each girl how to make useful things from. leather. The pupils plan to make plain notebooks which Will be used by them daily in their school work. One pupil will make a diary, CHESS CLUB Sponsor .................... Miss Sundelin President ...... ...... E verett Pope Vice-President .... Raymond Stoner Secretary ............. .... G ordon Gray Treasurer ................. Saford Sweatt The purpose of the Chess Club is to exercise that valuable gray matter called the human brain. The game calls for quick-wittedness, observation, concentration, imagination, and other desirable mental qualities. Chess lessons are given to the new comers at the beginning of each term and then the tournament is on. The prizes are paid for by club dues. So far, a feminine touch has been lacking. Are the girls' brains of a slower quality than the boys', as they seem to avoid chess? THE DEBATING CLUB Sponsor ..................... Mr. linfferiv Presiclent ........ ........ E dward Hall Vice-Prexifleizt .... ...... E leanor Gravely Secretary ............ Virginia Drinkerkott This club teaches the members to have much confidence in themselves and to speak correctly and emphatically. Besides learning these things the club members enjoy themselves. Each has a clnniee to express his views about the question that is under discussion. There are many seventh graders in the De- bating Club who will probably become exper- ienced debaters.
