University High School Girls Have links HE Monday Club is a girls' organization at the University High School. Every Monday it meets Cwhence it's namej and a pleasing program is rendered. Each term it entertains all the girls of the school as well as the faculty with a clever program. This is known as the term jinks,'. No, it is not 'f.lynx such as some mischevious sprite is now playing among the officials of Golden Gate Park. The jinks of the girls' Monday Club furnish no end of fun and are eagerly looked forward to by all the girls. This term's jlinks have just been given and they were just a little the best yet. The program was opened by a piano solo by Marian Brandt and then the principal made a few introductory remarks in which he described the girls' links as jolly, Informal, Nice, Kinkey and Satisfying. A very clever impersonation was given by Dorothy Dukes, Gladys Boone and Marguerita Armstrong of Three Old Maids From Lee. Then came the farce, the piece de resistance of these glorious links, no less than a most humorous burlesque of that most celebrated play, Julius Caesar by Shakespeare himself. The young ladies, nothing daunted, took him offf' Those who took leading parts were: Alice Turner, Mildred McCormick, Carol Balsley. Alice Graham, Audra llfebster, Katharine VVilder, Edna Bordman, Eleanor Davies, Elizabeth Randol, Gladys Boone and Ina Mackinnon. A really beautiful feature of the program and something entirely too good not to be repeated before a larger audience was a series of tableaux descriptive of the leading epochs in the life of the modern high school girl. From kinder- garten to grandma the scenes were shown. The parts were extremely well taken by Leona Mayer and Marie Tesseire as little children, Emily Gedge as high school graduateg Thelma Gilman, collegiang Arda Bibbins, artistg Katha-i rine l'l'ilder, prima donna, Ivy Little, red cross nurseg Marian Myers, woman suffrage leader, Dorothy Dukes, society leader, Dorothy Leverich, the blushing bride, preceded by Leona Mayer as Hower girly followed by her prettily gowned bridesmaids jean Bennett, Arda Bibbins, Martha Bromley. Then followed Grace Pillsbury, taking the part of mother, and Madeline jund the part of grandmother. At the end the grandmother sits beside the fire-place seeing pass by the leading scenes of her long life as impersonated by a long line of appro- priately dressed girls. Music was interspersed through the program by the Ukulele Qrchestra and Marguerita Armstrong, in a charming gown scattering rose leaves in the air, gave most gracefully a pretty Grecian dance. Punch and dancing followed the program. Behind every good performance there is always some master mind that inspires, directs, meets emergencies and secures results. To Mrs. Alice B. Robertson the Monday Club is much indebted. She is resourceful, clever, en- thusiastic, just the kind of woman of whom it might well be said that to know her was an education in itself. The girls swear by her.

The new addition to our building should be a source of gratification to those students who have been hopefully waiting for the last year or so. This wing will include several new class-rooms, and a dressing room for athletics, and should prove a relief to those who have been forced to lead a tramp existence in the hall during major this semester. There have been other things than the noise of the workmen in the new building to worry us here at school this semester. Mr. Lee's serious illness of nine weeks has been a cause of much concern to the entire school. NOW that he is back again with us we should try to show him how we appreciate his pluck, in coming to us straight from the hospital, by endeavoring to make these last few weeks of school travel by as smoothly as possible. One of the most popular features of our school life this semester has been the assemblies which have been held at frequent intervals in the Emerson Auditorium. Not only have we had many well-known speakers, but we have had the pleasure of hearing many selections by the school's two baby organiza- tions, the Chorus and the Boys' Glee Club. The entire Student Body certainly owes a debt of gratitude to Chairman Allan and the Assembly Committee, who have always provided such interesting programs. The success which has attended these meetings of the Student Body makes it quite certain that the assemblies will be continued in the spring.
