Library Club The Library Club is established mainly to provide reading time for students. This year's thirty club members have diverse interests. Their interests are broadened by discussing the different kinds of books they have read. Al- though reading is the most widely practiced activity, the club is respon- sible for the display case. To add va- riety to the meetings of the club, Bliss Moyer, the adviser has ordered movies about library work. The members ap- ply this newly acquired knowledge by helping the library assistants. In this way the students not only are given the opportunity to read for pleasure, but also gain valuable training in library work. The enjoyment ol' poetry. The wonderful world of books!

Improving those watelfyas, doiftchas. Freshmen Dramatics Une of the chief aims of this club is to give boys and girls self-confidence when speaking to a group. The members of the club have had experience in record- ing their voices. The purpose of record- ing was to find their errors in speaking and to correct them. The club members wrote and acted out. skits of their own. Several people worked together in each of the skits. Mrs. Itufe, the adviser, supplied the group with booklets containing one- act plays. These were performed in class in preparation for the assembly program which was given by the club members. It's hard to be another Barrymore Advanced Dramatics Again this year there were two drama- tic clubs, one a Freshmen club, and the other for upperclassmen. Both these clubs participated in using the recorder to record their voices and the plays which they performed during club per- iods. The members were instructed by their adviser, htrs. ltufe, on how to use make-up for different characters which they portrayed. The advanced club presented an annual assembly program which consisted of a one-act play. The representatives of the club were: Pres- ident, Robert Spanningerg Vice Pres- ident, Nelson Floyd. A club such as this provides the student with the op- portunity of gaining invaluable exper- ience in drama. Okay, next time without the scripts. 129 Boy, is this ever fun!
