' e ELM Members have succeeded in patrolling the gym during basketball games, thus keeping order. In the long list of clubs we must by all means not forget the Glee Club organization which furnished entertainment at assemblies and rallies. Mr. Dunn has charge of this activity and has succeeded admirably in organizing some eighty pupils in a short time. As the Elm goes to press, a new club is organizing: the Debate Club under Miss Hedrick. If it is successful, it will meet league teams in the spring in public debates. Now, as in the past, it is the duty of students to interest themselves i11 these clubs which have been organized solely for their benefit. As this interest has been great in former years, let us hope it will continue in the future. fat? l x PAGE The Hi-Y Places Cl Premium Upon Clmraeter Development. 3 Honor Society Aims to Place Scholarship Highest.

Dramatics Add Luster to Social Activities HE large numbers who came to every try-out, and the enthusiastic audiences at each pro- duction seemed to show that the dramatic art is exceedingly popular in San Mateo High School. Any tendency in that direction has been aided hy the reorganization of the Play- makers' Club, a group that has been in existence in San Mateo High for over ten years. It im- mediately proved its popularity when forty students joined. There are no requirements for membership except an interest in dramatics. Playmakers' Nightf a semi-annual event, held on October 22, was the main activity of the club. The plays presented were: The Romancers, Two Crooks and a Lady and The Boorf' Cast for these productions: t'T11e Romancersi' Pereinet ......... ................
