When I was in school, the boys talked about their games of HShinny or K'lVIumbly Peg . Now it's politics. Girls belonged to clubs with names like The Fannie Annie Club or Betty's Busy Beesl' and learned to sew a fine seam. Now these young people belong to such clubs as International Amity Among Nations and they discuss weighty World problems. I am told that this year the talks were mainly about Russia-the people, govern- ment, and land. Just think, such activities have occupied their time for each of the three years the club has been in existence. However, they tell me that when they have the world situation well in hand, they find time for pleasure. I. A. A. N. Front Rofwf R. Smith, F. Christensen, M. Nesbitt, W. Burzelic, E. Ireland.
