Stamp llluh The T. H. S. Stamp Club, which had been disbanded during the war, was re-organized in the fall of 1945 with twenty-four members. It has met every Tuesday throughout the year. The purpose of the club is to introduce to students the romance, art, history, and geography found in the study of the common postage stamp, and to further the spirit of friendship among students with a common interest. The climax of the year's work was the exhibit held in April, in which most of the members and some non-members participated. Officers for the year were Bill Weaver, president, Shirley Altman, vice-president, Dorothy Polk, secretary, and Dan Driggers, sergeant at arms. For the second semester officers were Bill Weaver, president, Albert Gwinn, vice-president, Paul Orth, secretary, and Dan Driggers, sergeant at arms. The members are Mrs. Rea, sponsor, Molly Allee, Jack Detwiler, Dor- othy Dixon, Ann Doak, Dan Driggers, Jackie Horne, Phil Hurd, Walter Laos, Neil Lammay, Carolyn Lee, Richard Miller, Margaret Mock, Richard Moss, Mac Murray, Shirley Altman, Paul Orth, John Philp, Dorothy Polk, Pat Smith, Albert Gwinn, Bill Weaver, Bill English, Albert Hall, Henry Ander- son, John Copland, Dave Janis, Dick Sawyer, Alvin Weissman, Ann Rich- ardson, and Murray Tobias. 154

H Il ',y Graphic Arts Over in the Northwest end of the annex basement there is a place where students go to make a lot of noise, and get printer's ink on their clothes and under their fingernails, and incidentally, study one of the most popular and worthwhile laboratory courses in T. H. S., Graphic Arts. Since its beginning in September of 1940 this department has provided a well- planned course in a number of the methods of reproducing thought in visual form, such as printing, etching, embossing, bookbinding, and pho- tography. Down in the shop . . . listen to the throbbing beat of the power presses as they turn out jobs planned and executed by students, the printing of the Quarterly, grade slips, report cards, excuses, and individual projects such as calling cards, letter heads, Christmas cards, and other personalized objects . . . then listen just a little harder and you'il hear the voices of Gtis Chidister or Harry Goldstein vocally rapping knuckles for the careless word, lack of cooperation, or plain old-fashioned goldbricking. These are the men who keep the presses rolling and the cameras clicking. Even those who take only one year of the work are supplied with a basic fund of working knowledge in the field of Graphic Arts that can be of benefit to anyone contemplating a career in journalism, commercial art, or photography. 153

L res lflluh Though supposedly it is not a secret organization, few people know much about the Lyres Club. Composed of Seniors, who have been members of the band for two years, and who have survived a strenuous initiation, the Lyres Club's main function is to serve as a disciplinarian part of the band, aiding Prof Sewell in dealing punishment to offending members. Seeing that Sophomore members of the band attend to such menial tasks as polishing brass instruments before school is a duty and a pleas- ure. The Lyres Club has its own set of rules. Green socks in the band room mean almost certain disaster for the wearer. Also for- bidden in the band room are suspenders. Violators of these two Golden Rules take their safety in their own hands. This year officers of the Lyres Club included Tommy Burrows, president, Tommy Martin, vice-president, and George Snell, secretary. rt Hnnnr Society The local chapter of the National Art Honor Society is the Pen and Brush Club, which takes its name from a well-known association of New York artists.
