General Science Club

President-Iantha Demaree, 1st Vice-President- Cecil Dye, 2nd Vice-President-Mary Frances Jones, Secretary-Greely Prentiss, Treasurer-Marion McChesney, Faculty Representative-C.E. Thomas

As the name suggests, this organization was born of a desire to search out certain lines of Science. The work this year has consisted of the study of birds, the members affiliating with the National Audubon Society and using the Audubon buttons as their insignia. The membership has gone up to approximately thirty.

Boys Corn Club

Greely Prentis, President

Clyde Gillean, Secretary

Members: Cyrus Brown, John Kuhn, Willie Reeves, Valentine Tautenhahn, Vernon White, Clyde Gillean, EMory Worley, Jim Jones, Cleveland Wheelus, Walter Norris, Joe Radford, Tully M. Talbot, Ralph Sanders, O.E. Dickinson, Elmo Lucas, Greely Prentis, Levi Robinson.

The members of this club are working one acre of corn according to the directions sent out by the Federal Department of Agriculture and the A&M College. They have also entered the contest in the Texas Industrial College.

There is no fee to enter this club, just an acre of land and a willingness to study and work. There are over $10,000 in prizes to be given to those who raise the most corn on one acre and give the best account of his method.

Following are the members for 1913. In 1914 we are expecting seventy-five in the local club and three hundred in the county, and a County Corn Club Fair in the early fall. --C.E. Thomas, Director, Cameron County Corn Clubs.

Olympian Club

Glenn Smith...President

Florence McAllister...Vice-President

Lael Gretzinger...Secretary

Dorothy Norris...Treasurer

Members: Anna Magee, Dorothy Norris, Lael Gretzinger, Eva Pfeifer, Florence McAllister, Ruth Talbot, Robert Possard, Bryan Long, Page White, Glenn Street.

This new club, which has just been formed in the San Benito High School, was organized Saturday evening, April 19, 1913, at the home of Miss Florence McAllister.

The purpose of this club is to become better acquainted with the old Greek Mythology. But that, though being the chief aim, is not the only one, for it is expected that the members will have good times.

Since this club was organized late in the school year, it was too late to have a picture of the club in "El Sendero." Perhaps next year it will be. By that time the club will probably be considerably larger than at present.

Robert G. Pollard..Grand Mogul

Bryan W. Long...Vice Mogul and Recorder

Glenn M. Street... Holder of Dinero and Sporting Editor

Members: Robert G. Pollard (Polly), Bryan M. Long (Shorty), Glenn M. Street (Lady Glenn)

Not being eligible to join any other club, we thought necessary to form this separate and distinct--not to say distinguished--club.

We believe in Callaway, the Big Boss, in Thomas, Prof., Giver of Cons and Flunks; in Flynn, his right hand man, who came here to torture the verdant freshies, and to puncture the think tanks of the egotistical Seniors; and in Megee the ever present help in time of trouble.

We believe in teaching the Freshs good manners, in vexing the Sophs, in humiliating the Juniors in ignoring the Seniors, and bothering the faculty.
