H.......................V E K H I A N ]...................R Ancient J istorp Club ANCIENT HISTORY CLUB In order to stimulate interest in Ancient History the members of the class organized the club on November 9. 1923. Officers were elected to take charge for six weeks and to arrange programs every two weeks. Frequent elections and programs provided opportunity for all of the members to hold office and participate in the programs. Ancient places, persons and countries were portrayed in an interesting manner. They were made more real to the members of the class. Impromptu speeches, class histories, caricatures of the members of the class as in the days of Pericles and Euripides, and imaginary journeys added spice to the dust of the ages. Early in the fall the club hiked to the city reservoir, disposed of some eats and returned via the woodland path in time for the afternoon classes. The members of the club invited some of the other students for an afternoon picnic on April 7. Near the railroad, north of town, the hikers found a suitable place for baseball, wienie roast and other activities. The club was enjoyed by everyone and we sincerely hope that the class of 1924-25 will organize another one which will be as beneficial to them as ours has been to us. —30—

El..............................VERHIAN ]......................B corners have been chewed to a pulp, my once smooth plane has been scratched, and only this morning my new master dropped me into the mud. Therefore, as my story has proved to you, my sad appearance is no fault of mine.” So his story ended as his listeners drew long sighs of relief. “Sir,” said English, “your forgiveness I emplore. I was simply mistaken, and I would that my tongue could utter the thoughts that arise in me.” “I thank you for your kind apologies. I have always tried to prove that I am sciuare,” said Geometry as he slightly blushed under his dirty covers. Just then the locker door opened, and the faithful old Geometry disappeared. —Ernest Narver. College entrance Jftction TLiZt The Mean Governess........ The Shameful Shiek........

Instructive, interesting and lively programs were given throughout the year. As a culmination of the year’s activities the club entertained the Student Body to an evening’s program and real Spanish food during the spring term. Although the Spanish Club was only organized this year, much benefit has been derived from it and its influence will be more perceptible in the years to come. —31—
