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.

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.

The junior Creative Writers' Club E ARE the junior Creative Writers' Club under the guidance of Miss Holden. The purpose of our club is to acquire skill in the writing of simple essays, poems, and stories. Our club is composed of only six members, but that does not prevent it being as active as the larger ones. During the week, our members write some form of composition which they bring to the meetings on Thursday. This work is praised or criticized as the case may be. We are always trying to better our work. This club was formed with the idea of making writing a pleasant pastime. We write for pleasure, not because we are forced to do so. We believe that writing for pleasure is the only way in which free expression in words may be obtained. We are constantly reading poems of famous writers and this work brings us in contact with the iinest that has been written in the world. In this way, we become acquainted with the best literature. Not all of us have the power to express ourselves in song, but some day we hope that one of our members will distinguish herself in the literary world. Top row: Ricking.
