THE RADIO CLUB This club was organized late in the fall to take the place of the Safe Driving Club. A number of boys brought materials of various kinds and a study was made of wireless construction. Two boys from the Technical School gave an interesting talk on the electric eye and other electrical apparatus at one meeting. Frank Brock helped the club greatly with his interesting talks. The club was sponsored by Mr. Dobson. EDITING Getting out this annual is no picnic, If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we clip things from other magazines. We are too lazy to write them ourselves, If we don’t we are stuck on our own stuff, If we stick close to the job all day. We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don ' t print contributions, We don’t appreciate true genius, If we do print them the column is filled with junk, If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up. We are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. Now like as not, some one will say. We swiped this from some magazine. Right, we did! —Adapted by Keith Watson. SKI TROUBLES Whenever I attempt to ski, A white and peaceful-looking hill, Becomes a mocking enemy, As if it wanted me to spill. My skis act strangely too, I test That north slope with my feet just so, Yet one goes East and one skids West, And where am I? Head first in snow. —Beryl Charman, 8C. 46

The Year Book record was prepared by Adela Earle and Ruth Hurlburt. Three of our well known club members, Bob Appleton, Jim Webb and Billy Mayhood, were responsible for the Tattler covers during the year. THE LEATHER CRAFT CLUB Under the able leadership of Mr. Whittle, the Leather Craft Club has proven itself successful. This club was made up of fourteen girls and seven boys. The students have made various kinds of leather articles, such as change purses, key cases, scrissor-cases, etc. First the design was worked on paper and later transferred onto the leather, then the leather was dampened and worked with a special -ool; this process is called leather tooling. Finally the leather was punched and put together with thonging and snap fasteners. During the last two meetings, Mr. Whittle taught the girls and boys how to solder, put electric sockets together and sharpen knives and scissors. The members of his club have enjoyed it immensely. The grade eight members are looking forward to joining it again next year. —M. Spotswood. PRESS CLUB Our Press Club has been broken into two sections. Those who have helped with the school paper and those who have put out the Fear Book. Mr. Dobson has been the advisor for the paper, while Mr. Anderson as been in charge of the year book. Marks of progress are attained only through improvement, and both divisions have worked hard to improve their enterprise. We feel that both the school paper and year book are bigger and better than ever. We shall let you be judge. The club members feel they have had a busy and successful year. May those following us have success in the future enterprises. 45
