The plan of the organization included semi-monthly meetings and occasional social affairs, at which only the Spanish language was spoken. A program always followed the discussion of business at the meetings, which together with the social events, served to stimulate the interest of the students in their studies. The Club sponsored two important social affairs this year. The first event was the Spanish dinner. Miss Rogers presided as toast- mistress, and proved her worth as such, with her witty and timely remarks. The last big social event was a very enjoyable picnic given at the foot of Grosser Grade.

Secretary and Treasurer The Comites Club was formed this year for the purpose of pro- viding an opportunity for all Latin students to learn about the cus- toms and culture of the ancient Romans. All those who have success- fully completed one semester of Latin are eligible for membership. The Latin classes showed their ability in Latin composition the first of this year by editing a Latin paper in honor of Columbus Day. The students of the second and third year Latin, who are the charter members of the club, initiated the Latin I class at the first meeting. The initiation was followed by a little lunch to make the meeting more delectable. A program has been provided by the mem- bers of the club for each monthly meeting. A discussion on Roman dress was ably presented by members who had made actual costumes. Other talks of interest have been on Roman mythology, Roman mili- tary equipment, and Roman games. What the Romans ate, and how they ate it was the subject for another interesting talk. The Latin club has been a social, as well as a financial success, due to the fine cooperation of the members. mmm ll'll'l.'i1.w r iimmiiml px lllllnllllllkllilll'IlllllUllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIK1IlillIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIllllIIIHIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 4 ...rra iurtmruul ittt' V ,.

Sergeant-at-Arms On February 15, 1929, the girls of the Maricopa High School organized a club, under the leadership of Mrs. Molloy, to be known as the Omnium Causa Club. The purpose of the club is best ex- pressed in the creed adopted by the girls. This is: I believe as a High School girl of Maricopa, I should be joyous, courageous and courteous, truthful, considerate, and just, loyal and sincere in friend- ship, too noble to speak ill of others, willing to forgive and forget, prompt and gracious in obedience, ready to do all possible service, quick to appreciate what is done for me, respectful to my elders, true to the best that is within me, that I may become a fine and worthy woman. The club program for the Semester consisted of a Facul-Tea, a Saturday afternoon entertainment, and a Mother's Day program. In addition to this, there were special talks by members of the faculty at each meeting. This concluded the activities of the club for the year 1929. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIOH Miss Ruth Righter ...................................................... Adviser Pearl Davenbauer ...... ................ P resident Julia Williams ......................... .......... V ice-President Celia Fitchett ............................................................ Secretary The Girls' Athletic Association was organized to promote girls' athletics in the school. Every season there are interclass games be- tween the four classes. These games help to promote good sporsman- ship and better school spirit. The Girls' Yell Team is also sponsored by the Athletic Association, and the support and spirit shown at the games this year are proof enough of its success. Honors are earned in the association by a system of point awards, given to each girl participating in a sport. After earning the required number of points, she is awarded a star, and at the end of her four years in high school, she receives a sweater.

There was a tender, refreshing 2 quality running through the whole plot that made one think of a 2 story book. There was much excitement in the little village of Millertown, 5 caused by the return of Princess Delatorre, a difficult part which was 5 very cleverly portrayed by Ruth Morrison. The Princess had been forced into a royal marriage by her ambitious mother, and now, re- E rr turning to Millertown, not as a royal Princess but, because of pecuni- 2 ary needs, as an ordinary village girl. She was going to visit the Boyd 5 g family, who of course was not aware of her changed position, and was s 5 expecting an elaborate fairy-story Princess. Due to her plain manner E S . 1 . 5 of dress she was mistaken for the sewing woman. One person in the E E village recognized the Princess in her humble condition. This was her E 5 childhood sweetheart, Phil Lennox. Louis Munding gave a splendid, E . characterization of this role, and won much admiration for his Hne E acting. E E Zi The Princess was very much troubled when she saw all the plans E E that were being made for her return, and begged Phil not to reveal g her true identity. Pearl Danenbauer as the mother, Nlrs. Boyd, was 5 E too busy to recognize the Princess, but her husband, ,loe Boyd, a part E 2 played by Powell Rader, discovered the secret. Both Pearl and Powell 2 did some admirable work. Helen Moore was the charming Ruby 2 E.: Boyd, who was very much in love with Milton D'Arcy, a part taken E E by Harlan Mitchell. Both these parts were very cleverly interpreted. E Thelma Edwards was the eleven year old daughter, Hazel Boyd, one g of the cleverest and most appealing characters in the play. The one : E discord in the Boyd family was Aunt Meta Trimble, a sharp tongued E Q sarcastic old lady, who delighted in saying just what she thought. 5 5 Stella Fitchett took this role, and did some very commendable acting. 5 .4 After many incidents, in which pathos and laughter intermingled, the 2 play came to a happy ending. Josephine Eiermann had the role of the s Old Princess Delatorre and Delos Miller was the Italian lawyer, Signor hloroni. Magdalene Newman and Florence Bush in the roles E of Mrs. Purrington and Mrs. Seaver furnished much of the comic 5 element in the play. , 5 n The entire cast did splendid work, and this, together with the 5 E capable directing of Miss Goodwin, made the play the greatest success Q ofthe year. 5 E E lm P ge Thirty -
