A9 HISTORY BOOK DRAWS ATTENTION Last year Mrs. VVilson's A9 grade wrote an Ancient History, after studying Breasted, and called it The Story of Civilization. This is written by students as they would like to study history, and has over 100 illustrations and maps, which have been made by the artis- tic students of the class. The book was arranged by Arva Camber and Jesha McGaven. Al- though all the students contributed in some way, the stories of Jack Hupp, Ruth Shelton, Arva Camber, Robert Ash and Minnie Cohen were espe- cially noteworthy. Vera Hollis designed the cover and among the artists of the maps and pictures were Aaron Resnik, Elvere Pazan, Minna Ziff, Vera Hollis, Arva Camber, Jesha McGaven, Les- ter Hallet, and Ruth Shelton. Mr. Ricardi, chief of the City Sec- ondary Schools of California, visited T.S.K. recently and asked to have the book bound, as he would like to take it to Sacramento to show what the pupils of T.S.K. are capable of doing. Mrs. Abel, who is in charge of the Classical Center, located in the Board of Education Building, asked to have this book on exhibition, so the people of Los Angeles could see it. Mr. Bond, Superintendent of the Teachers' Training School of U. C. L. A., also wanted an exhibition of this book. We are very proud of these boys and girls who have left this book as a memory. One Hundred Twenty-eight SPANISH CLUB Sweet notes of a Spanish guitar and the melodious sounds of a senor- ita singing were heard Friday, Sep- tember 28, from Mrs. Adelson's room, disclosing the fact that a Span- ish Club had been organized. It was the Senorita Arva Camber who was heard in this first meeting. Oiiicers were also elected, and are: Helen Reider, president, and Willis Hok- ans, secretary. The second period elected Elsie Gross, president, and fifth period elected Edith Hunt, president, and Betty Burge, secretary. The A9 French class of Thomas Starr King dramatized Le Tresor, a favorite story which they have been translating. The work was done un- der the direction of Miss Newhard of the university. THE BALLAD OF THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB Listen, my children, and you shall hear, How the Boys' Glee Club is doing this year. The Boys' Glee Club is organized now, And our only cry is bass voices-and how, Will some of you musical boys help us out? You'll learn how to sing well, But never to shout. Remember Room 155-The Boys' Glee Clubl TEXT BOOK ROOM lf you have lost your book, look in the book room. There are over seventy-five unclaimed books which could be in use if the students would only come and claim them.
