CLUBS

THE HISTORY CLUB. The History Club held a meeting at the High School building, Nov. 30. Clifford Wasson, g member of the Senior Class, read his Senior theme, “The History of Rensselaer.” Many interesting points about Rensselaer were "brought out in his theme. Refreshments were served and the meeting adjourned.

Miss Kay entertained the History Club, Dec. 7, in the Domestic Science room of the Grammar Building. The earlier part of the evening was spent in giving reports on the early days of Jasper and Newton County. Many interesting .reports were given. The rest of the evening was given over to social events. Games were played, such as “The Broadest Grin,” “One Yard Dash,” and “Disk Throwing.” (By the way, Isabel Bever had the broadest grin, measuring three inches.) The Club discovered just before ( Miss Kay sent up town ° for ice cream that it was her birthday. There was hasty scurrying and shuffling of coins, so that the ice cream , commissioners might “kill two biTds , with one stone.” \

After Miss Kay had served her delicious refreshments, Isabel presented Miss Kay with a huge sack that looked as if it might contain a spring hat. After repeated assurances that nothing would jump out at her, Miss Kay discovered a large and lovely box of sweets. The Club held an extra long session, but all reported a joyously good time.
