I ane Haller HE Dramatic Club was made up of girls from the ninth and tenth year classes. It was probably the largest club in the League, having an enrollment of more than seventy. The advisers were Miss Hunter and Miss Reed. Twice a month the members met to learn something about dramatics by giving plays. The advisers selected ten girls to serve as chairmen of the groups. Each chairman then made up a group of seven girls and together they prepared and presented a one-act play during one of the club periods. Before any acting was begun, the meeting was devoted to lessons in how to speak, stand, sit down, walk, etc., on the stage. In the plays given, the girls became kings, queens, naughty children, pirates and numerous other characters. Some of the plays given were: The Bad Penniesf, The Affair of the Slipper, and The Mouse. These plays were often amusing when they were intended to be serious, but everyone enjoyed them, anyway. The aim of the club was to give every girl an opportunity to be in one play before the end of the year. From the sale of tickets for the League Play, the girls made 31.45. They added to this, 31.85 from a grab-bag. This sum was further increased by presenting a play in school. Page Forty-eight

C atherine Bechtel Adviser ....... ............ M iss Mcllroy HE Commercial Sampler club, a new club introduced this year, aimed to give junior high school pupils, who wish to take the commercial course, a knowledge of the various studies in this department. - During the first semester the adviser, Miss Mcllroy, and the members of the club made a 'fknow your school townw survey of the business and professional places in Hollidaysburg where girls may secure employment after graduation. Since many of the members were not residents of this town, the adviser suggested that they visit several of these public places and thereby become more familiar with the business section of Hollidaysburg. The duties of a secretary were discussed and dramatizations on business etiquette were given. A little bookkeeping, typewriting, and shorthand were introduced during the second semester. The commercial seniors obligingly gave a demonstration in type- writing. The members of the club then learned a few basic principles of typewriting, and within a short time they were able to write words. This was followed by a brief study of shorthand and bookkeeping. The proper use of the telephone was finally discussed after which dramatizations on the correct and incorrect method of tele- phoning were presented, By the end of the year the girls felt that they had received a generous as well as a worth-while sample of the commercial work.

This is one of the most useful in the Girls' League. Due to the great range of topics that can be discussed there is little trouble in finding interesting material. The book, Everyday Manners, which is particularly suitable for high school boys and girls, was used for reference. In addition to this, the girls applied some good sound judgment of their own. The club discussed such topics as table manners, correspondence, visiting, and the ever vital introduction question which is often cause for embarrassing situations. The girls were given subjects at one meeting to be enlarged the next one. These discussions brought about many facts necessary to social life. The study of etiquette required some serious concentration, but like most everything else it had its funny side, especially when the '6amateurs of the club began impersonating New York society. There is possibly no other phase of study that will be so useful at any time and any place as etiquette. Much has been written about etiquette, but Robert Burns, lines are known to all of us: O wad some power, the giftie gie us, To see oursel's as ithers see usll' Page Forty-nine
