Warren High Sch'-101 E C H 0 E S Ni-men Tw-mm-five Q azzsenuiaszggirlie - 1 The Spanish Club The Spanish Club was organized in 1924 under the supervision of Miss Merrill, a very earnest worker and teacher, and it has been progressing very rapidly ever since. The club has developed friendship among the members and has influenced many of its members to work with greater zeal. The qualifications for membership are that the pupil have an excellent grade in Spanish and also be willing to take part in any activity which the club decides upon. A club pin has been adopted which is a small silver tower with a cross and lion on it. Officers are elected every semester. The ollicers for this last semester were: president, Martha Bowditchg vice-president, Harry Parsonsg Secre- tary, Florence Earlyg treasurer, George Suitt and Sargent at Arms, Leland YVeed. The name of the club is La Tertuliaf' The meetings of the club are held every two weeks on Wednesday and are varied as much as possible. Several short plays have been given, Spanish stories reviewedg jokes told and sometimes Spanish refreshments served. Also popular Spanish music is played on the victrola and sung. This gives an opportunity for more fluent Spanish among the members and arouses an interest in things Spanish. Several hikes and outdoor suppers have been held. Two parties have been given. One of these was at the Y. W. C. A. and the other at the home of one of the pupils. There were about twenty-five members present at both of these parties. Games were played and refreshments served. The club has made quite a name for itself in the past year and it is hoped that it will continue to be very active in the future. lPage One Hundred and Szvenl

I D elbert Lutton Secretary ..................................., Sylvia Laitinen Un September 1924 a new club was organized at Warren high. This was the Oflicial Club. organized at the suggestion of Mr. Mollenkopf. The purpose of the Official Club was to teach the boys and girls to ofhciate at all kinds of sports and games. To give the students some goal toward which to strive. a Wm was to be given for olliciating at a certain number of games. This W was to be distinguished from the other letters at VVarren high by a small 0 in the center of the letter. Maybe it was the WV or maybe it was the work of the club, anyway whichever it may have been, a large number of students turned out for the first meeting of the club. Quite a large number remained in the club too. Of course, the first thing to do was to elect officers. Kenneth Lynn was chosen for president and Sylvia Laitinen was chosen for secretary. Then began a diligent study of the rules of volley ball and soccer ball, those being the games then in season. All grammar school athletics and games were refereed, 'man- aged and handled in a very capable way by the Ollicial Club. High School interclass games were also eHiciently managed by the organization. The new president chosen for the following semester was Delbert Lutton. During the past semester basketball and baseball games have been successfully handled by members of the club. The members have worked hard and those who have earned their letters certainly deserve them. l Page One Hundred and Nintl
