After school these girls could be seen learning new stunts, twir s, and practicing their routines. Since some new majorettes are needed each year, the Twirling Club aids in training and selecting them.

The name ot it was The Toleware Club. Toleware is a name given to pieces of paint- ed tin. Early Pennsylvania Germans decorated their common household articles with gay de- signs taken from nature, and so Mr. Dieterle, a native of Lancaster County, sou ht to instill in the students of Spring Cit Eligh School an appreciation of this art and, at the same time, an opportunity to express themselves creatively.

Seventy MECHANICS CLUB The club is composed of a group of senior high students interested in automobile me- chanics, construction, and operation. This is the second year of its existence and so far it has not collected enough equipment to operate efficiently, but the members are in- terested and it is hoped in another year they will consider themselves a well instituted club.

Field trips were made to near-by streams and woodlands. The club members purchased cocoons of five different species: when the large and colorful moths emerged, they were mounted and placed in boxes for further study. Each student kept a notebook of magazine clippings about nature, the topics of these articles were later used for discussion in sev- eral club periods. These activities and others formed a year's program of beneficial and informative nature study. ir PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Our photography club, under the direction of Mr. Filer, met for the first time this year on September 23. The following officers were elected: president, Ronald Elliott, vice-presi- dent, Iohn Smoyer, secretary, Iackie Diemerg and treasurer, Loren Guss. In our club we learned to take pictures properly, develop films, print negatives and make enlargements, Club members are responsible for planning and conducting program meetings throughout the year.
