HERALD JUNIOR CLUBS
My Dear Herald Juniors:
," OW do you like the idea of having
Herald Junior clubs?


of the paper today a group picture Of
the club which will be known as Her
aid Junior club number one This
group of girls, all pupils Of Griffin ave-
nue. school, formed this club of their
own volition. as Aline Kage. the club
critic. tells in her letter, and the work
which the members have already done
the ability of each individual. as well
as for the inspiration which the pres
ence of the club critic gives.
The idea. which is quite original with
these girls. seems good enough to be
utilized for the formation of other
clubs. careful reading of Aline
Kage's letter will explain the general
purpose of the club and the manner of
organization. To encourage the forma-
tion of other clubs I will make some
special club offers and I hope that each
of the boys and girls who has already
written for the Junior will endeavor
to organize club in his or her own
particular school.
Just DIS soon as the colors for the
club are decided upon 1 will have some
pennants made and will give one to
each active Herald Junior club of ten
or more members organized in any
public or private school inside or out
side of Los Angeles. In addition to
that l will be able to announce two
handsome prizes. probably framed pic
lures, which will be presented to the
club winning the most first prizes dur
ing the remainder of the school year.
to be hung in the assembly room or
other suitable place in the school
whose club wins them.
More complete details concerning the
prizes and other information will ap-
pear later.
The boys and girls who have won
book or other prizes from The Herald
Junior know that the prizes are always
good, and l am sure that each room in
almost every school will want to form
such a club and compete for one of
sthese splendid prizes. The individual
members of the clubs will, of course
receive their regular prizes while the
club will receive the credits for the
success of its various members.
The club will be divided into
branches. each separate club of ten or
more members bearing a number to
indicate the order of form ation.
Branch number one is already formed.
Which school is to have branch num-
Der two and three and so forth?
As fast as the branches are formed
[ will make arrangements about hav-
ing a club picture taken and issuing
the pennants.
1 would like to tell you about the
conventions we will hold, to which
each club will send one or more dele
gates, and about the good times the
branches will have next summer when
beach and other delightful trips are in
season, but there is not time today.
What colors will you select for club
colors? Two combinations which seem
to be popular are maroon and gold
and royal purple and gold. l want to
hear approval or disapproval Of these
combinations and suggestions of others.
The new writing topic ought to sug-

the boys who are interested in public
affairs here will no doubt imagine
themselves in the person of some of
the best known local politicians and
will say what resolution they would
make and keep were they in that par
ticuar mans place. Others Will take
the identity of some famous ruler or
other parsonage and will write inter
estingly of resolution their particular
king, queen, emperor or president
ought to keep
Others WILL perhaps, take themselves
and will decide just which resolution
they ought to keep for their own good
and the good of those about them.
shall be interested in each of the
letters that come and hope that there
will be many good ones. With love to
YOU all. AUNT LAURIE.
