SCRIBBLERS CLUB 1943-44 4 ' liis year marks the thirteenth anniversary of Scribblers, founded by our former English teacher, Miss Shepard. The club was or¬ ganized to give an opportunity for creative expression for those pupils who like to write. In the past, as in the present. Scribblers’ has had among its members clever writers with an abundance of originality and a knack for putting their thoughts on paper. Some thoughts and expressions come out in the form of a poem, others in an essay, or still others in the story form. No matter what form it takes, it somehow throws light on the character and personality of the writer. I ' he members of Scribblers’Club are indeed grateful lor this privilege of sell-expression. standing: Ann Morgen- stern, Clara Ann Newell, Jean Bennett, Alice Brown, George JVeierbach, Janet Burleigh, Lyman Letgers, Hazel Ticknor, IFyllian King, Helen Laughlin, IVillman Brown, seated: Lucille Jackson, Robert Har¬ ter, Miss Shipherd, Alan Sparks, Jean Webster. standing: Richard Morgen- stern, Dale Sherman, Will- man Brown, seated: Shir¬ ley Dibble, Gloria Eggert, Miss Shipherd, Mrs. Trump, Alice Brown, Mar¬ garet Jackson. I his year there was newly organized an assembly committee for the purpose of planning entertainment for the student body. Two representatives from each high school class, with Mrs. Trump and Miss Shipherd as advisors, compose the committee. Because organ¬ ization did not occur until several months of school had elapsed, active planning did not begin until the second semester, although the seniors presented an entertainment the first semester. The various organizations’ programs haveincluded plays, radio programs, quizzes, music, a panel discussion, and original writings. Responses to these assemblies attested the appreciation of the student body. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE 42
