Sponsored by Mr. Phillips the members stub- mitted material in the form of talks on air- plane travel and transport. The history of heavier-than-air vehicles and men who played important parts in its development were dis- cussed. Walter Buben was elected president of the clubg Harold Wiltshire, vice-presidentg and Porter Smith, secretary-treasurer. Nora Ross, Adele Polkow. Camera Club Because of a general moveiment to learn more about photography-the taking of pic- tures and developing of negatives, the Camera club was organized under the direction of Mr, Godwin. In the course of the year the members learned to develop the negatives of the pic- tures they had taken. The clurb supplied many snaps for the annual and developed nega- tives brought 'by students. Officers of the club were: June Russell, presidentg Gertrude Koster, vice-president, and Ann Kolodziej, secretary-treasurer. Stamp Club Every person is encouraged to follow a hobby. Members of the Stamp club collect foreigzn as well as United States stamps as a hobby. Some move toward specialization in a chosen country by collecting stamps from that country only. The Boulder Dam and the Texas Centen- nial stamps are two of the issues to delight collectors this year. Mr. Wible, sponsor of the club, continued to ibe of service by solicit- ing orders and getting stamps from Wash- ington, D. C. lt would have been impossible for collectors to obtain most of these stamps in any other way. During the year talks were given and con- tests were held. Movies which included trips through many countries were also a part of the entertainment. Page Twenty-seven

German Club The German students in Mr. Kettelkamp's ninth hour third year class said Bitte so pleadingly that he consented to their having a club meeting once a month during class time to take the place of the customary Ger- man club which was discontinued because of overlapping programs. Students undertook the entertainment and moving pictures on Germany. Games in which only Deutsch was spoken aided the students with their conversational vocabulary.

Shops There are various courses and activities awaiting the student upon his arrival at Thornton. The boys especially find interest- ing courses of which they can take advan- tage. The woodworking division, mechanical drawing room, electrical shop, auto mechan- ics garage, the machine shop, and various other shops offer an excellent course of study for the boys. It provides them with a knowl- edge which proves valuable to them in later life and which makes them more independent of others. It is in these shops that the lboys learn to make attractive pieces of furniture, draw blueprints, install motors, repair and over- haul cars, and get the training and instruc- tion which help them to become excellent mechanics and machinists. The shops are well equipped with modern machinery and other devices needed for training, and the 'boys find the work very pleasant and profitable. L l
