WING to the approaching close of school, the Dramatic Club decided not to produce any plays at the High School Audi- torium this seinesier. However, early next term the Club pro- poses to stage two plays, one a short skit oi three acts, the other a musical comedy. While this aim is perhaps ambitious, still we think that we can accomplish much with our present membership. During the past few weeks the Club has taken in many new members, including several talented young ladies of the upper classes. The funds which the Club will raise shall be used in furnishing the school stage with much-needed scenery and properties. Ail the materials bought by the Club will be of the latest pattern and design. The work of the Club ancl its efforts to furnish the stage for fu- ture use is a very good. showingol school spirit. The support of the whole school is needed if the plans which we have formed are to be 'carried out effectively. The united student body should stand behind the Dramatic Society and help it in its labor, not only by supporting the performances of the society, but by attending the meetings of the organization. We all hope lor a successful season in 1910. 37 '

. A A A A A A A A A Q 5-4 3 if Greek Club al li s w r t s ig By Daryl B. Miller, 'l0. I-IE GREEK CLUB has started its second year's work with great success. Although Miss Mary B. Clayes, the organizer and patron of the Club, has not been able to be at school this term, she has, by her interest, made it possible for the C-reek Club to continue the lectures which have become so popular. Dr. Edward B. Clapp and Dr. Oliver Miles Washburn of the University of California kindly consented to give the lectures this semester, and their talks on Greek and Roman antiquities were well attended by the pupils of thc' school, and proved very interesting and instructive. The Tale of Troy was the first lecture of the past term, and was given by Dr. Clapp. T he second lecture was on The Roman House by Dr. Washburn. Both of these instructive discussions were much appreciated by the Club and by the school public which attended. The Faculty has also shown much interest in the C-reek Club. Miss Anthony permitted us to use her stereopticon lantern, which Mr. Sheldon kindly set up. It is hoped that the Board of Education will soon install a lantem in the new Assembly l-lall. We wish also to thank Walter Holland for his skillful handling of the lantern during the lectures. ' , 36

.g.----..-.. ----..--- nftffff., ' Y- 675 T LAST we have a Band in the school which has been organized as a permanent institution. The success of the Band has been very largely due to the untiring efforts of Ernest Lasell, who has devoted his time and ability in building and directing this im- portant factor in school activities. Too much credit cannot be given him and the school surely appreciates his work. Let us all give three big cheers for Sousa Lasell. e o o o o o o o I o o E o o o 2 The Band wishes to thank the school, not only for the general support and en- : erm! 2 couragement, but also for the financial aid l Lg-' 2 accorded it, without which the Band 2 as l could not have been a success. 2 ' l The Bandis efforts this term have not E RAYMOND ATTHEW E been without avail, as everyone knows. 2 Band Manager g It has been on hand at all important ath- Q l letic contests and rallies. The enthusi- ozo 0 asm which always attends our rallies and contests has been made even greater through the presence of the Band. It looks as if the Band is here to stay, and it certainly will if it is given the support which it must have. More members are needed. There are many fellows in school who play instruments, and they owe it to the school to join the Band. Even if you do not know how to play an instrument, get one and join the Band and it will not be long before you will be as proficient as the rest. Let every member of the school do his or her part in making the Berkeley High School Band a pride and credit to the school. 38
