The CRICKET if J BETTER E GLISH CLUB -1.- Better English clubs were organized this year in the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh grades. The purpose of these organizations was to better the English used by the students. Meetings were held once a week when a program was given and fines collected for mistakes made during the week. A fine of one penny was charged anyone who made a mistake, provided someone heard it and turned it in, the mis- takes having been previously decided upon. Books were bought by the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades with the money collected from the fines. These books were donated to the High School Library. The clubs have proved rather successful, having awakened an interest among the students to be more careful of their English. Mr. E. W. 'King sponsored this movement and he deserves much credit for the idea. if Y r.1Q26.r - - -7- 4..g -'-Y 1 S
