On account of its sizeljuniors and Seniors only are allowed there at lunch time. During the last tlwo peri- ods ten honor students are Nselected to use the club room as a study place for a term of two weeks, at which time a new group takes their place. Two students for each period act as hosts. This last football season with the co-operation of the Tri-Ship, the Girl's Club and the Athletic Dept., the visiting teams were served refresh- ments just before they left for home after their games here. There were two all-school Tri-Ship dances. The first was held in the fall. lt was called the Hangar Dance.
