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.

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.

Sorokin fjlflath Wizards This year, once again, Mr. Butters issued his annual appeal to all ablefbodied figure jugglersf' The fact that Room 21 was bulging at the seams during that first meeting bears mute testimony tht mathematics appeals to others besides the scholar. Mathematics can be fun, and this is precisely what the Math Club is endeavoring to prove. Under the able leadership of Charlie Watson, President, Charlie Enright, Secretary, and Mr. Butters, the faculty adviser, the Math Club has had a very successful year, holding four meetings and a contest. Once again the Club sponsored a Sophomore Geometric Original Contest. After a close race, the field was Whittled down to four competitors: Connie Smith, Ruth Morse, Robert Oxford, and Richard Cleary. In the final contest it was nip and tuck,', until finally, after a tie between Ruth Morse and Robert Oxford, Ruth Morse won. Enthusiasm and rivalry to get it right first run high. These energetic mathematicians are never satisfied to leave a problem hanging in midfair. Often a meeting will run well into overtime, and nobody, except perhaps Mr. O'Donnell, complains. It seems that there is no end to the variety of Math problems possible, judging from the way these eagerbeavers pull them out of their hats, the triclcier the better. Plans are already under Way for the last meeting, which is to be held in the evening and promises to be a gala affair. Keep your eye on the Math Club. We're looking for even bigger and better things next year.
