SENIOR SOCIETY EVENTS In October the Seniors entertained the Juniors at the home of Catherine Scoville. In combining the colors of the two classes, marigolds, white roses and ferns were used very effectively in decorating the pleasant rooms. The chief feature of the evening was a guessing contest, in which all stood around a table covered with a number of strange works of art, such as “tacks on tea, the “flour” of the family, etc. Four Juniors guessed the same number of articles and received common cents for prizes. Other games were entered into with the same enthusiasm by the twenty-five present. One day the Juniors received some very informal “Irish invitations to a party in honor of St. Patrick at Ethelyn Hampton’s. At their arrival all were obliged to go through the ceremony of kissing the blarney stone, and then they took part in games suggestive of Irish customs. Green was the color of the evening, and it was noticed that even some of the boys had decorated themselves in Paddy’s own hue, green ties and shoe strings being conspicuous. JUNIOR SOCIETY EVENTS Friday evening, November 21, 1913, the Juniors gave the Seniors a party at the home of Miss Naomi Adams. About thirty were present, and many games were enjoyed until a late hour. Refreshments of cocoa, hot tamales, sandwiches and cake were served. It will be noticed that the Juniors have paid little attention to social events, but have devoted their time to more serious matters, — Studies. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Under Miss Oliver’s able leadership the Boys’ Gl ee Club has been a de- cided success. It is composed of the following: Bell and Lillibridge, first tenor; Sias, Archer, and Fredley, second tenor; Rogers, Gleason, and Towne, first bass; Field, Shaw, Root, and McNary, second bass. Their first appearance as a club was in Assembly before the High School Literary Society. Shortly after this they sang at the Congregational Brother- hood banquet. They next appeared in the La Corona theatre in the enter- tainment given by Mrs. Rice, where they were enthusiastically encored. Feb- ruary 1 3th they sang at the University of Lemonville. Every one enjoyed their music there, especially the amusing song, “Peter Gray,” by Eugene Field, with the rest of the club helping in the chorus. Another appearance was made at the High School, March 4th, when they sang at the Washington School entertainment. Mention must be made, too, of the good work of the club in the Senior Class play, given May 1st and 2nd. Dressed as backwoodsmen, their songs added much to the interest of the play. The school is proud to feel that such a loyal Glee Club stands ready to help whenever any chorus work is needed. Much credit is due Miss Oliver and the boys for their faithful work. Page Twenty-nine

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club has worked faithfully all the year and has made a number of public appearances. They sang very well at the La Corona theatre the night of Mrs. Rice’s entertainment, and have also added much to the pleasure of the High School literary meetings. An effective moonlight scene in the Senior play was made by the Glee Club girls, dressed as Indian squaws. With a tepee among the trees as a back- ground, they sat grouped about an old, wrinkled Indian woman, and sang for her some of the plaintive Indian melodies. The following are the present members of the Glee Club. First soprano, Helen Hilt, Ethel Farrar, Naomi Adams, Floy Gleason. Second soprano, Alice Miller, Wilma Archer, Bernice Blanchard. First alto, Elva Farrar, Adelaide Jameson, Doris Hampton, Maude Twomey. Second alto, Irene Nonhof, Catherine Scoville, Dorothy Tuthill. Pianist, Ethelyn Hampton.
