They consisted of all students who took the course in psychology. Optical illusions and their influence on everyday lives was one of the popular subjects of study in psychology. This included such matters as camouilaging, the effects of illusions on hairstyling, and the designing of wearing apparel for tall and short people, and for large and small people. Because a series of articles on better studying habits, featured in an area newspaper, the Spartanburg Herald Journal, ran parallel to a chapter on this subject, this series was used in classroom procedure. Improving the personality was another objective of the clubs. Five means of testing personality were studied. These were as follows: personality rating test by which numbers are assigned to different ratings, the interview, standardized questionnaires, real-life situation tests, and the projection technique in which one sees his faults in others. To make classroom discussions more effective, students sometimes enacted situations that they read about in their books. This was accomplished as a game in which the students tried to guess what their fellow classmates were attempting to portray. Approximately 100 students took this course in psy- chology and by doing so gained information for coping with everyday situations. ll Psychology Clubs Discuss Optical Illusions FOURTH PERIOD PSYCHOLOGY CLUB.

Block U Jacket Has Football umber On rm Thirty-four, who had excelled in baseball, golf, foot- ball, or tennis, along with the senior cheerleaders, and the team managers, composed the Block U club this year. Each member of the club was presented either a sweater or a jacket by the school. If any athlete let- teredv in more than one sport, he received the emblem of each sport on his Block Uf, To indicate further the time spent and the achieve- ments attained, more symbols were used. The second year a person Kletteredv, a stripe was placed around the arm of the sweater. For every year thereafter that he or she lettered an additional stripe was placed on the arm. On the jacket, for each of the years, a bar was placed on the aletterf, This year the lettered sweaters and jackets were pres- ented in a very new way. The football team received theirs at a football banquet and the other athletes were given theirs one morning before the school day started. Joyce Betenbaugh, one of the girls who received a Block U jacket, is amused as she watches Robert Hope, the smallest athlete, and Wilbur Hodge, the largest athlete, comparing their sizes.

Library Club Goes To Visit Carnegie Library Visiting the Carnegie library of Union, was enjoyed by the Library club early in the year. There the student librarians were shown locally owned antiques on display, as Well as the arrangement of books and periodicals and details of the management of a city library. Before leav- ing, they heard the history of this library, which was the first in the State to be established by Carnegie funds. Student librarians were given experience in assisting at the school library desk, in checking books in and out, in keeping bulletin boards attractive With displays of current book jackets, in promoting appreciation and care of books, and in showing films on library procedures.
