The junior Reading Club HE Reading Club, sponsored by Miss Markworth, was organized early in September, 1931. The club started out with twenty members and this membership has increased to thirty-one, twenty-six boys and five girls. The purpose of the club is to improve the reading ability of each member and to give him or her an opportunity to get acquainted with the best litera- ture. We also are trying to read books which suit our tastes, although some tastes need to be improved. The girls read such books as Anne of Green Gnhfer. The Kingl' Spnrr. The Berhoning Road, and The Virginifzn. Some of the boys are interested in western or cowboy stories as Smoky and Curly of the Circle Bar. They also like war and adventure stories as, The Fighting Lizfingrfon. Thirty Fnfhonzr Deep, and The Honnnl of the Bfziherzfifler. Seventeen and Penronl, Jack Lon- don's Calf of the Wild, Zane Grey's Rider! of the Purple Sage and even Victor Hugois Hnnehhezefe of Notre Danze and The Man Who Lnzzghf are popular. Magazines also arouse interest. Among these are Boy'r Life, American Boy, Popnffzr Mechfnzicr and Po pnfezr Scienre: some would like to read movie maga- zines and similar types, but these are forbidden.

unior Reading Club UNIOR Reading Club is composed of fifteen boys and girls of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades who enjoy reading and wish to become better acquainted with books and authors. Early in the fall of 1951 we elected the following oflicers: President, Vir- ginia jones, Vice-President. Richard jarrold: Secretary, Robert Knauftg Pro- gram Chairman, Milton Abel. Our program for this year was so planned, under the guidance of Miss Klaserner, as to first of all establish standards that would help us to judge the value of anything that we might read. Keeping these principles ever present as a basis for judgement, we allotted the remainder of our club meetings to reading, reporting, and discussing informally various forms of reading material. The long novel, short story, travel book, biography, and magazine were each given a place on our bookshelf. We hope that the purpose of our club to establish a criteria for evaluating that which we read and to promote further interest and pleasure in many kinds of reading will become a part of our daily experiences.

unior Dramatic Club HIS is the second year of the Junior Dramatic Club. The membership is larger than last year, which shows the popularity and appeal of the work. The club strives to learn the fundamentals for a pleasing voice, clear enunciation. and correct stage presence. Social life today demands good speakers. Almost everyone is called upon some time to conduct a meeting or express an opinion in a public forum. The club work strives to train for this, and to develop any inherent qualities that may lead later to stage or lecture work. Last year the club studied and presented for the weekly auditorium session, the play, The Six Wluo Pass While the Lentils Boil, by Stuart Wallqer. This year, the sequel Sir David Wears a Crown, was presented. Both plays were heartily received. Witli the added year's training, faithful club members hope to produce a two or three act play sometime in the future. The reading and criticizing of current plays is part of the regular club work. Monthly programs reveal latent talent and give an opportunity for expression. To develop this talent, and give the school the benefit of it, is the effort of the junior Dramatic Club.
