The outcome of this meeting was a point system on which each prosjxtf tivc member will lie graded. Points arc given for activities and personality. One of the high spots of the year was a hobby dinner at the home of Ruth Firestone. Each girl was supposed to dress to represent a hobby. Another event was a steak-fry at I lidden Falls.

The Boys’ U” Club President - Kiciiard Van Bergen Vice-President..............................................................Arthur Seder Secretary...................................................................Grandel Jones Advisor...................................................................Mr. J. E. Curtis ONE of the most versatile and vivacious groups of students at University High School is the Boys’ “U” Club. During the past year the club has influenced and been responsible for many worth while projects and accomplishments in school athletics. Mr. Curtis, the advisor of the club from the first to the present time, is quoted as saying that the members of the organization arc from the “cream of the crop.” A glance back over the past season’s athletic records will indicate that one of the prime purposes of the Boys’ “U” Club, that of arousing interest in athletic contests, has been well achieved. Among the other purposes of the club was the desire to encourage a feeling of camaraderie among the members. This desire was chiefly attained by the monthly dinners meetings, at which time the reports of committees were made, and business transacted. In the way of social activities the “U” Club sponsored the highly successful Nile Club at the All-School Carnival, and gave a dinner dance late in the Spring Quarter. The membership of the ”U” Club is composed of boys who have won a major sports letter for the participation in track, football, basketball, or swimming at U. High. These requirements promote all-round good fellowship among the active and athletically-minded boys of the school. It may be well said that the “U” Club has just completed one of the most successful seasons since its founding. This has no doubt been accomplished through the untiring efforts of the club’s friend and leader, Mr. James E. Curtis. THE 1937 PACE 27 L B I S B I L A
