These girls meet every Tuesday night at 3.35 in the gym. They practice songs that will be sung by the Glee Clubs in the Glee Club at home given in the Spring. Members of this club will give special numbers at this entertainment. ' GLEE CLUBS The Boys' club meets on Tuesday and Thursday morning of each week, and the Girls' club meets on Wednesday and Friday morning as you prob- ably saw in the previous Tolo. The clubs spend all their time now on prac- ticing for the operetta. They like the songs for the operetta and are very much interested in its success. SERVICE CLUB This club has more members than any other club in the Girls' League. Nearly half of the girls belong to it. Duties are assigned to each girl every week and a meeting is held once a month. Mildred Jackson is the president and Bonnie Welch is the secretary. This club is a great help to the school as the girls keep the school cleaner and more orderly. They also keep the light better because they lower and raise shades in the study hall as needed. HIKING CLUB The Hiking club has not taken a five mile hike recently on account of the cold weather. Then too, every one has been busy getting started in her school work after Christmas vacation and semester exams. It is hoped that the girls are keeping up their daily mile walk. SCIENCE CLUB This year, under the direction of Mr. McCullough, our science teacher, a new organization, called the Science Club, has come into existence, for the purpose of giving scientific knowledge other than that which is in- cluded in our text books. ' Meetings are held the first Monday in every month and special meet- ings can be called by the president. During the meetings scientific talks are often given, either by the members, or by some other individual. Oc- casionally a film is shown, and field trips are being planned for the warmer months. - Mr. Fitz, of the LaFayette High School, gave a very interesting talk during the month of December, on the progress of science.

OPERETTA Miss Russell has selected the operetta that the Glee clubs will put on this year. The name of it is The Rings and the SaWdu'st, by Clark. We are sure it will be a good one. Several of the cast have already' been chosen and, judging the future by the past, we know that we have some- thing worth while in store for us. , , ' THE ALL-SCHOOL PARTY On Friday night, December 24, the seniors put on the annual all-school party.
