Four years of waiting, planning, working and saving, climaxed by a most wonderful trip. That is the story of the Senior Washington Club. Or- ganized in l935, the officers were elected to last all three years. These officers, President, Richard Bonserg Vice President, Charles Pierce: Secre- tary-Treasurer, Gertrude Tibbets, have done a commendable job. The work and cooperation of the whole club has been the only reason for its success. Upon the third day of school last September, the Washington Club be- gan its successful activities by the opening of the school cafeteria. The sale of refreshments at football and basketball games helped swell the in- creasing fund. A food sale in mid-win- ter hoisted the profits. The first week in April found a tidy sum for each member of the club. Finally, the wonderful day arrived. The group boarded the train for Bos- ton . . .but that is a whole story in itself. Let it suffice to say that the Wash- ington Club is one of the traditions 1 Biddeford High School. The Class of '38 passes this tradition on to the underclassmen: may it be continued by them. POVERTY PARTY. On November l2, I937, the Senior Class entertained the high school stu- dents and faculty at a Poverty Party By 8 o'clock, when the fun began, sev- eral hundred happy hoboes had gath- ered in the high school gymnasium. The program that followed proved that the committees in charge of the affair were very capable. A grand march was followed by judgment of costumes for funniest and cleverest. Dancing, games and entertainment were broken by only one intermission when cider and doughnuts were serv- ed. The class of '38 hopes that the Poverty Party will become an annual event in the high school. D-EBATING CLUB. The Debating Club, in its third year of competition under lVlr. lVlcCarn, opened its season at the Bowdoin lnter-scholastic Tournament at Bow- doin College. Discussing the question, Resolved that Secretary l'lull's Recip- rocal Trade Agreement Should Be Continued in America, Biddeford, represented by Richard Bonser on the Affirmative and Janet Dancause on the Negative, placed third in a group of twenty schools. After this successful debut, the club immediately changed its question to, Resolved That the several states of the United States should adopt a uni- cameral system of legislation. After
