Senior Engrossing Club NGROSSING, commonly known as Old English Lettering, is a lost art being revived. In olden days, books were engrossed by hand, For this reason the manuscripts were very costly, sometimes valued at thousands of dollars. Old English lettering is recognized and interpreted by every civilized country and by its use we are able to understand each other, thus bringing about world fellowship. Although it is used chiefly on diplomas, certificates, and resolutions, en- grossing is sometimes employed in advertising, in one of its three styles: script, round hand, or broad pen. To master engrossing, a task which requires practice, perseverance and neatness, to become skilled in making both the lower case and capital lettersg to make cards appropriate for the season, and to engross poems are the aims and activities of the club. The officers of the club are: President, Florence Dorksg Vice President, Kenneth Coxg Secretary-Treasurer, Millard Kluba, Top row, left to right: Schneider, Cox, Huber, Klubil, Bottom row: Zorn, Shaw, Dorks, McCain, Kirchner, 1 T ,., 1 , .

unior Poster Club HE junior Poster Club, sponsored by Mr. Dauterich, includes members from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The purpose of the club is twofold: first, to study the history of posters from primitive days, second, to help each member become more efficient in making posters. Poster history dates back to the primitive days, the first posters were made in China and japan in the 15th century. The French people were the first to see the beauty and inspiration in posters. The first problem in poster making was one to illustrate any country, state or city. The drawing was traced onto poster board and then painted. The second problem of the club was a pen and ink chart and was executed in ink. Posters are used for various purposes: school projects, design, color, drafts- manship, and advertising. Our club boasts of a very handsome pin. It is diamond shape with a raised scroll, faced with four gold stars and two Greek letters which stand for the name of our club. The officers of the club are: President, Albert Stoller, Secretary, Erwin Haffner. First row, left to right: Katz, Manning, Wehner, Smith, Schmitt. Kaplan. Second row: Merz, Link, Haefner, Bellem.

The Junior Engrossing Club HE .Iunior Engrossing Club meets in Room 101 every Thursday, bell 6. This club is sponsored by Miss Hein, who is a very efficient leader. The object of this club is to learn the art of engrossing. Since we do not have meetings we did not elect officers. At the beginning of the year we learned how to hold our pens and how to make the strokes. Then We were taught to make the letters. At the end of the year we expect to be able to make all of the letters of the alphabet and the figures. We are now able to write names and short verses. As special pens, penholders, and ink are needed for engross- ing, we practiced with chalk till the pens, penholders, and ink were bought. After various members changed to different clubs, we settled down to work. If our lesson is iinished before three o'clock we do our night work or read a book. At Christmas we told stories instead of having a party. Due to the fact that so many of our members attended the play Daddy Long Legs, we had no lesson on that day. Some of our members may go into the Senior Engross- ing Club when they pass to the tenth grade. First row, left to right: Bernitt, Bettis, Campbell, Prince, Zimor, Krueger.
