In addition to athletics and student council activities, they have a Bee Club with enthusiastic members. Mr. Davis is the leader of the club. Tlhey study the life of the bees and experiment with them. In order to acquire money for new bee hives, the club sponsored a movie. This new idea of ai benefit was immediately successful and was followed by other school organi- zations. . 'The Junior High School has also provided entertainment in some as- sembly programs. The ninth grade boys presented an original minstrel show. Poems, music, dances, and jokes were all included in the program. A magazine campaign, arranged as a contest among the home rooms, was zealously supported by the Junior High School. This was done in the interest of their extracurricular activities. THE FRIENDSHIP CLUB The Ninth Grade Club was organized in September. It is composed of IIS members and the purpose is to combine the ninth grade sections into a class organization. The President, Vice-President, critic and program committee are elected every eight weeks. The changing of officers and arrangement of the programs provides an opportunity for every student to participate in the club's activities. The club members have their own Friendship pin and their colors are brown and gold. The class advisers arid the club members feel that this organization is a step forward in the activity of the Junior High School. E421
