According to custom, the girls of '24 have also organized as an Honor League, have led bewildered Freshmen around the building during the first two weeks of school: and have each become a big sister to two or three Freshman girls. The duty of a Freshies' Aid was made particularly pleasant this year by the new red felt arm band which decorated each girl's sleeve. Being a big sister was something to which all of us looked forward with eagerness for a long while. One of the things which we have accomplished this year, and of which we are justly proud, is that of cataloguing all the pictures, statuary and other works of art which Hughes possesses. This has been the result of much hard work on the part of a committee of twenty girls, who were greatly assisted by Miss Fischer and Miss Julia Bentley, our sponsor. At the monthly meetings of the Honor League, we have, besides discussing topics of interest to girls of the present day, had talks on questions of honor and beauty of character- topics which are of interest to girls of all times - and have tried as well to see and to show the beauty in art, in music, and in nature. By being friendly, courteous, and helpful - little things, perhaps, but those which often mean a lot - We have tried in our meetings and out of them, and hope to keep on trying all through life, to live up to our aim: To do the thing I know is true, And should not be ashamed to dog To help to make some others see The thing that so appeals to me.

Sponsor HE Hughes Club accepts as its aim the upholding of the ideals and tra- ditions of Hughes. Its foremost ambition is to be of service to the school. The club was started five years ago, its members being chosen from boys of the two upper grades, and it is practically the same now as it was then. We hold our regular meetings at the Y. M. C. A. every Friday evening. where we talk over matters pertaining to school life and activities. Occa- sionally a well-known professional man of Cincinnati speaks to us on some topic of general interest to the fellows. Probably the thing that the Hughes Club enjoys most every year is the splendid dinner cooked for us by Mr. Merry. This year several prominent men spoke at that dinner, and anyone who was present will tell you what a fine time we had. Besides Mr. Merry's dinner, two big events stand out in the school year. One is the annual dance, the other is an overnight hike. The dance this year was a St. Patricks Day affair, and everyone agreed that it was a big success. Long live the Irish! We are planning the overnight hike to take place up on the Ohio River, and from the enthusiasm shown by the fellows, it looks as if we are going to have a time worth remembering. The Hughes Club is essentially a boys' club, but the man who makes it possible is our Captain, Mr. Kizer. We owe a great deal to his fine leadership and the pep that he instills in us. Our greatest hope is that the fellows in the lower grades will pe-rpetuate,in years to come,the club and the Hughes ideals for which it stands. WILLIAM MAXWELL, '24. One hundred one
