Students' Christian Association For several years one of the most profitable and helpful societies of the Lansing High School has been the Students' Christian Association. Although the time of the High School students has been fully occu- pied, yet each one who so desired could arrange his or her Work so that the half hour at the close of each Wednesday afternoon session might be devoted to the study of God and His Word. But this year the hour of meeting was unfortunately changed from immediately after the session to the evening. On this account, it be- came almost impossible for members living at a distance to be present at the meeting and the attendance finally became so small that the Work was given up. But it is to be hoped that next year the Association Will be reorgan- ized and the Work carried on with renewed interest and strength. it The Sigma Kappa Another feature of the past year's work is the new society of the Sophomores, the Sigma Kappa. This club was organized by Mr. Hickey, for the benefit of the stu- dents in general history. Its object has been the study of those works of Shakespeare Whose characters have been connected with history. Some have also been taken up for amusement. The officers are as follows: President, - - MR. HICKEY Vice President, - - BESSIE SCRANTON Secretary, - BEss1E MEYERS Treasurer, - - NED HOPKINS Although the meetings of the Sigma Kappa end with the school year, it is to be hoped that this society, which affords both profit and pleasure to the students, may be reorganized next term.

A committee from the class was appointed to organize the Society, and they selected different smaller committees. This committee con- sisted of Ralph Hasty, chairman, Beth Hume, Henrietta Betz, Will Bailey, and Marion Lang. They arranged for ten meetings to take place during the year.
