A ,KN . I, X Every Wednesday, room 329 bustles with activity, for the Sketch Club is meeting. The energetic students Who form this club may be practicing for a future occupation or perhaps they just like to draw. Some of the activities en- gaged in are learning the fundamentals of stage setting, the different media, and the different techniques and styles. An affluent study is made of various famous artists and their help to the modern student. Architecture and perspective are also studied extensively. Club members try out for special art awards and scholar- ships offered through the school. The club helps the entire school by making posters for blackboards, dances, elections, and special campaigns. Some students come in during study periods and work on posters or other important projects. An example of their talent in this respect was shown at the Christmas assembly in the beautiful snow scene which was designed and painted for a background. This project represented hours of Work and was one of their most satisfying accomplishments. There is also a social aspect to the club: parties are held Whenever the treasury funds permit.

An uproarious flurry of activity spiced the calendar year of the Spanish Club. pet project of about thirty Spanish-speaking students and the inimitable Caballero with the twinkling blue eyes, el Senor Walsh. The Clubs fond hope is to have each member. after a thorough saturation in Spanish atmosphere, emerge as a bi-linguist: though this doesn't often occur, the resulting merriment is well worth the effort. Lively classes in Spanish dancing were held. and an excursion made to the beautiful home of Mrs. Lothrop. from whom exotic Spanish costumes were secured--all in preparation for La Gran Fiestaf The gaiety of this traditional celebration was enhanced by unusual decora- tions and by the hilarious antics of the toreador-killing a bull. who obligingly danced the conga. The succeeding event, a home-cooked Spanish supper, was also a huge suc- cess though each unfamiliar dish seemcd to tease: Name me and tame me. before you claim mel Finally, with a picnic outing at el Senor Walsl1's summer home. including plenty of swimming. fishing, and sailing, Carambaf our year of fun was done!
