Saluclos Amigos Under the able guidance of Mr. Kotkov, the Spanish Club got oil to a fine start its first year. This is the first year that there has been a language club in Winchester High, and the Spanish Club has set an excellent example for others to follow. Joseph Santo was elected the Club's first president g Roger Swanson, vicefpresidentg and Anne Harris, secretaryftreasurer. The Spanish Club is the only club in which membership is purely honorary. The members are students who receive an A' or Bfaverage in Spanish. They only may vote and attend business meetings, but anyone in the school may attend the other meetings of the Club. The Spanish Club has had three meetings this year. At two of the meetings, interesting movies were shown on South America. On the evening of February 20, the Spanish Club had an initiation supper for its members at the Masonic Hall. The two guest speakers were students from Puerto Rico who are now studying in Boston. One of the Puerto Ricans, studying at the New England Conservatory of Music, played some South American music which was enjoyed immensely.

Under the leadership of President Dottie O'Connell, and successfully guided by Miss Livingstone, the Library Club got off to a good start last fall with a turnout of over twentyffive enthusiastic members. Very active in the Club's undertakings were Vice'President Anna Mauillari, Secretary Dotty Kelly, and Treasurer Kay Michienzi. Each member of the Club willingly gave up one study period each week for one quarter of the school year to help with the great amount of work to be done in the library. The main jobs of these students were to file cards, return books to the shelves and keep them in order, help to repair the old books, and prepare and classify the new ones. The members are always ready to help out at the desk when needed to check books in and out. This year the Club made quite a profit by collecting lost books and charging for them. This money will be spent in the interest of the whole school. Two new magazine subscriptions were added this year, and many new, popular books were purchased. The accomplishments of the Club members throughout the year are proof of the great interest and training the Library Club offers.

Capably managed by its President, Connie Zimmerman, Secretary, Norma Neff, and Treasurer, Ida Stafieri, the Club met six times a month and attended the art displays sponsored by the town library, The planning board, made up of Esther Grr and Barry Grace, provided an active program including outdoor sketching contests and trips to places of interest. The Art Club has become a definite asset to the school and has aroused the interest of many nonfartists, as well as of the more talented club members themselves, The main purpose of this Club is to develop enjoyment of the many phases of art and to increase appreciation of the work of the famous artists. The Art Club participated in many projects other than those of the regular meetingsg Christmas cards were made by the members, who also helped to publicize school events such as the vaudeville show and the class play, by contributing original posters. A group trip to the Gardner Museum was particularly interesting since Miss Goodrich had discussed the main points of interest beforehand. Une of the highlights of the year was an outdoor sketching trip to Symmes's barn on which the club members were accompanied by Forest Qrr, the water colorist. Mr. Grr helped the club members greatly in choosing composition and colors correctly. After a talk on Finger painting by joan Haskell, this new subject was undertaken with enthusiasm. Often during the year examples of the various types of art were dis' played in the school bulletin board, which furthered interest in art among the students.
