The Writers' Club The Writers' Club, this year, has been under the supervision of Mrs, Ruth Brice. Under her direction the organization has made a special study of the technique of the short story. Mr. Grisiner, instructor in English at Akron Univer- sity and who is especially interested in this subject, gavea talk to the members, which was very enjoyable as well as instructive. Professor Pease also read a one-act play at one of their meetings. At each meeting, contributions in the way of short stories, descriptions, and character essays are handed in, some of which are published on the Lariat feature page. Mrs. Grace Smith took over the club when Mrs. Brice was called away by the illness of her husband. OFFICERS Fall: President, Tom Polsky: vice-president, Ruth Alexander: secretary, Betty Howe.
