Under the sponsorship of Miss Mcllrath, fourteen senior girls and two boys have formed a commercial club, calling themselves the Greggenites. They hold meetings every two weeks on Thursday evenings and have had many rousing good times during the year. All members have earned certificates for typing and shorthand efficiency and the following have had additional honors: Mary Wallace -, ---Order ot Gregg Artistic Shorthand l Donna Walter --- ---Order of Gregg Artistic Typists Evelyn Liebsch - -----------------.----- ------- -Complete Theory Shorthand Drill Phyllis Dick was the very efticient president of the Greggenites.

Everyone was greatly alarmed one morning to see a number oi ireshman girls coming to school attired in housecoats with such articles as towels and toothbrushes tied around their waists, and wooden sandals on their feet. After further inquiry, it was discovered that these strange creatures were new members of the Latin Club and were being initiated. The Latin Club, which is under the sponsorship ot Miss Boqard, is composed of nineteen Iirst year and seven second year members. It is a social organization and holds meetings on the second Monday of each month. There is usually a business meeting followed by social activities. At each meeting they try to use Latin in some way, such as singing songs, playing games, or conducting part of the business meeting in Latin. The Latineers also 'sponsored a school dance and went on a sleigh ride. At their parties. which were enioyed by all. they danced, played ping-pong and other games, and had refreshments. Miss Boqard was always ready to lend a helping hand and to ioin in the fun. The presidency was ably filled by Ianet St. Clair. She was assisted by Alvin Brickley as vicefpresident and Betty Hoeile as secretary-treasurer. Page Twenty 1
