EUREKAS CLUB The largestu and perhaps most popular club of the Parsons High School is the Eurekas Club which is composed of every girl in the school. The club is under the- sponsorship of Miss Nora Smith. Meetings have consisted chiefly of speakers and programs given by-the girls. The most outstanding program of the year and one in which the girls took great interest was a program given for their mothers. The motto of the Eurekas Club ist Aim high and never lose sight of the' goal. The club helped the girls to solve some of their problems. The officers of the club are: Betty Lou Shears, presidentg Margaret Belle King, vice presidentg Sara Louise DeLay, secretaryg Enid Palmer, treasurer. DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club met this year every Wednesday morning under the direc- tion of Miss Margaret Smith. The president this year was Marian Hughes. The other officers consisted of vice-president, Marjorie Hoffmang secretary, Francis Campbellg treasurer, Bill Westhoff. Membership to the club was limited to those who passed the censor of the club, which consisted of all members. The candidates were to give short selections of readings or speeches, which were judged by the members. Of the ones who tried, about twenty were admitted. Some of the interesting programs this year consisted of talks by Miss Harriet Taylor, a Review of Green Pastures by Philip Lyrer, and very interesting readings by junior college students. The program of the club this year, as conducted, was very helpful to members of the club in connection with their dramatics. G. A. A.

PRESS CLUB One of the most recent organizations formed in the High School is the Press Club composed of the staff and cub classes of journalism. This club for the ,year 1934 and 1935 is composed of approximately thirty members and is under the able leadership of Charles Wveesner, president. Two outstanding speakers for the club were William Allen White of Emporia, who was here in the spring, and Mr. Donald Foster of Shawnee, Oklahoma. Mr. Foster, now secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Shawnee, Oklahoma, was formerly an editor of a newspaper there. He was a war correspondent and spoke to the club of his experiences. His address was very interesting. The club has held few meetings during the past year but is rapidly developing into one of the foremost clubs in the school. The social activities for the past year included a party and a luncheon in the school cafeteria. Mr. William. Moore, teacher of journalism, sponsors the club. 'Vu-45 . .ndubl
