HOME ECONOMICS CHESS Under the leadership of Miss Frances Moore, the CHESS Club not only held tournaments between themselves but also matched pawns with many prominent men throughout the city. The fight for the championship was one of the highlights of the year. SCIENCE For the purpose of studying the scientific aspects of different things, the SCIENCE CLUB was organized. Mr. Allan Phillips, who was their adviser, arranged various interesting field trips to industrial plants throughout the city. The Home Economics club, sponsored by Miss Laura Moore, studied the problems of per- sonal grooming; such as, hair styling, dress fashions and colors. The girls brought their sewing to the meetings and also gave reports on subjects of interest to the entire group. LIBRARY Each member of the LIBRARY CLUB was re- quested to work in the Library one period each week, putting books away, straightening shelves, filing, and various other tasks. In addi- tion, they had theatre parties, luncheons, roasts, and other activities lead by Miss Evert.

GIRLS’ ENSEMBLE The GIRLS’ Ensemble was an organization of twelve girls, meeting after school every Mon- day. The primary purpose of the group was not to prepare for programs but simply to enjoy music written for treble voices. Miss Bess Hyde was the girls’ director. ETIQUETTE CLUB The Etiquette Club studied the proper etiquette for all occasions which included how to make introductions and helped to develop poise. The members obtained practical experi- ence from teas, dinners, skating parties, and movie parties. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Members of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY were elected by the entire faculty on the basis of Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. To be elected to membership is the highest honor that one can receive in High School.

This year their leader, Miss Drescher, arranged visits to many local business offices in addition to their regular activities.
