The Girls' Glee Club consists of thirty-one members, representing every class in school. This year the group has made appearances at the following places: Methodist Church, Rally Day Program, Red Cross Benefit Program, and Open House at the high school. The girls' club in combination with the boys' club presented an operetta, The Belle of Bagdad. The members of the cast and chorus were most successful in portraying their individual roles in an effective and convincing manner, thus displaying the many talents of which our school may justly boast. In the spring, representatives of the chorus participated in the Macon County Mass Chorus, which sang at Macon, thus bringing to a triumphant close the county one-act play tournament. On April 23rd, the girls entered the district contest at Pairbury, Illinois. The Boys' Glee Club is made up of twelve members. The boys have made several appearances in combination with the girls' club. They sang in the concert given at the Methodist Church in the fall, and furnished a valuable portion of the talent for the operetta. They also sent representatives to the Macon County Mass Chorus.

The school year of 1937-38 marked a great change in the instrumental program of the Warrensburg school. So many members were lost through graduation that it was necessary to add three violinists and a pianist to those left from last year's band; thus an orchestra was formed. During the second semester, a contest was started with award medals for those participating in the orchestra. The winners will not be known until the end of the year. Changing from one to two rehearsals a week marked a ;reat improvement in the work of the orchestra. As we have several new students entering from the grade school, we are looking forward to a bigger and better orchestra next year. THE CARDINAI

Oscar Plummer Secretary and Treasurer................................George Binkley The appearance of pictures as a regular feature in the Car-dinette aroused interest in photography among a number of the students. Shortly, a group asked Mr. Elam if they might organize a photography club. The result was the Candid Snappers, who have taken and finished most of the pictures in this annual. At the organization meeting, February 15, 1938, the club decided to purchase a photo-finishing outfit and hold weekly meetings to develop films, print pictures, and learn the fundamentals of photography. A membership fee is charged to cover the initial cost of equipment, and members are privileged to finish as many pictures as they like, paying only for materials used. By using miniature cameras the club has produced the pictures appearing in the Cardinette at a cost of only one cent per print for materials. In a single day, members of the club took individual pictures of everyone in school. The prints were used to make up the Cardinal group pictures. Other activities included custom photo finishing for the faculty and friends of the members. LATIN CLUB President................................................Betty Brown Vice-President.........................................Sue Jane Hursh Secretary and Treasurer Doris Kerwood The Semper Amicitia Club, which was organized last year, held its first meeting in October. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution for the club. Roman purple and gold were chosen as the club colors and Labor omnia vincit as the club motto. The purpose of the club is to offer an opportunity for the pleasurable learning of much about the Romans and their civilization, and to develop an appreciation of ancient art and literature. The programs of the various meetings have consisted or reports discussions of some phase of Roman life, Latin songs, and Latin games and contests. THE CARDINAL
