THE English Club Of the San Diego State College was organized in September of 1921, after the pattern of the English club of the University of California. Professor Henry Meade Bland, head of the English Department, was chosen as sponsor. With his aid the club and its branches were perfected. The club started with thirty-seven students as active, charter members. George R. Mitchell was elected president; Lucy Maude 0rd, Vice-president; Mary Greiner, secretary; George P. Wilson, treasurer; Francis Peacock, librarian. In honor of the work they have done for the club and for their continued interest, John Vance Cheney, President Hardy, Dean Peterson, Dean Coldwell, Mrs. Roger Welles and Edwin Markham were elected to honorary membership. When, in December, Mr. Mitchell took a position in Imperial valley, Vice- President Lucy Maude 0rd took charge. During her term of office the club took a trip to the Coronado Islands. The journey was inspirationals as well as enjoyable. 111 the February elections, Margaret Drake was made president; Mary Carver, Vice-president; Francis Peacock, secretary; Fred Reichel, treasurer; Lois Lovell, historian, and Ada Biekmore, publicity. The idea of a scholarship fund was brought up by Professor Bland at a March meeting. After an enthusiastic discussion the members accepted the plan and started to work immediately. Mrs. Kate Deming gave $5.00 to the worthy cause; Mrs. Harriet Welles, author of HAnchor's Aweighfy very kindly gave a reading before an assembly for the benefit. of the fund, and a barn dance, given by the club itself, added to the amount materially. The club has pledged itself to give a scholarship of $200 each year to some high school graduate who is deemed worthy by the college faculty. Page Ninelecn
