Handsomely engraved invitations,

preparations for several hundred dane

tire administration Of the dance Is
being handled by the club members
themselves, without the active aid OF

The Constitution Club was created
in 1927 for the purpose OF Keeping

years contact. It's membership was at
first limited to the contestants In the
United States finals, but In 1925, when
the finalists of the 1924 and 1925 con-
tests were in Washington, 1t was de-
cided to widen the scope OF the organ
ization with a. view to making 1t a
means Of promoting, by personal con-
tact and individual work, the ideals of
the contest upon the broadest possible
lines.
To carry out this new plan the
membership of the club was widened
so as to include a substantial though
carefully selected number Of active
pupils in each participating high
school and this number was limited to
/ per cent of the schools total enroll
ment. A limited number OF prominent
residents nj the various communities
throughout the country are invited
honorary members because of the in.
terest they show in the contest and Its
welfare.
Most Are in College.
The three definite objects of the
enlarged club are the promotion of
friendship among its members, the
advancement of the contest and stim-
ulation Of interest In dutiful American
citizenship by stressing In a strictly
non.partisan way. the Importance of
voting.
In an informal survey made of the
club members during the past year
II was shown that 81 per cent of the
members are in college and that II
per cent are still in high school.
There are % per cent in business, /
per cent engaged in the arts. and 2
per cent neither working nor study.
ing. One per cent are married and
these are all girls.
Whereas varying restrictions are
imposed on the different regions of

is open to each contestant In the sew.

districts. In addition membership in
