Although the membership of the club Was small, a vigorous and extensive program was planned. The club decided once more to supervise a series of four one-act plays to be enacted by non-Thes- pians and to present an all-Thespian cast play in order to further high school inter- est in dramatics. Each of the members was assigned a subject, dealing With a phase of dramatic Work, that he was to present to the club in a report.

To start out the year, the Slide Rule Club was divided into two sections, which alternated meetings each week. Each section elected its own officers. For the first division, Ben Bruderly was elect- ed president, Walter lbele, vice-presi- dentg and Ruth Baltorinic, secretary- treasurer. ln the second division, the election went to Frank Carloss, presi- dent, Tom Williams, vice-president, and Sammae Lockhart, secretary-treasurer. Before many meetings were held, the members decided to have joint meetings once a month as social meetings for the two clubs. As one of their first activities, a Christ- mas party was held on December 13 in the library with records and games pro- viding entertainment. Refreshments were served. Various committees were set up for the party. On the entertainment com- mitte were Marty Brian, chairman, Bob Little, Betty Cibula and Don Chappell. Frank Carloss and Danny Smith made up the refreshment committee, while Harvey Walken, chairman, Duane Yeag- ley, Sara Serbanta, and Joanne Butler were on the clean-up committee. By January, the club was well enough settled, with some members dropping out, that a plan for the combining of the two clubs was formulated. When this plan came into functioning, new officers were elected, the club meeting once every week. The new officers were president, Frank Carloss, vice-president, Walter lbeleg and secretary-treasurer, Ruth Bal- torinic. At some of the meetings, when drill on the use of the slide rule was held, Miss McCready gave prizes to members for correct answers. A constitution was set up for the club at the beginning of the year, this set of laws governing members' actions.
