This year has been one full of excitement. 'The club has given two plays, been enter- tained once, and has given a picnic-all in the short space of three months. The way in which the members have worked and the abil- ity they have displayed in the various pro- grammes show that the club has chosen its members wisely. At the Hrst meeting after the election of -officers we were entertained by Mr. Humph- rey. To those who have heard him, no com- 'ment is necessary. We one and all wish to 'thank Mr. Humphrey most heartily for his 'inimitable rendering of Mr. Pickwick and -dramatic reading of Hamlet It has been a tim-e-honored custom in the -club to entertain the Clioniansg this year we gave the following programme: Piano Solo. . . . . . . . . .Jerome Twichell, jr.

They nehearsed in Room 77, in Room 83, in the corridors, and iinally in the Auditorium. But the Clionians said the play was a success, and the cast felt re- paid for all the work they had put into it. The cast included Helen Hayden, Marguerite Guy, Florence Fuqua, Clifford Hollebaugh, and Kenneth Irons. All the members of the cast did excellently. The Clionians in turn entertained us most enjoyably by an exhibition of their best tal- ent, and all the visitors expressed their hearty appreciation of the whole programme. The programme committee meant to make debates a feature of this term's work, but the term was so short that we had time for only one. The question was: Resolved, That final examinations should be abolished from Westpolrt High School. George Meyer and Arthur Hayum too-k the affirmative, and Don- ald Black and Paul Childs the negative. The speakers for the affirmative made a great plea for the health of both teacher and pupil and completely won the audience. The whole club acted as judges, and the affirmative won al- most unanimously. There has always been some rivalry be- tween the Round Table and Clionian socie- ties. Before this year neither club appreci- ated the other: but this year a better feeling

James Field HELMA.Geo1'gle Southwell u The night of May 7th the Round Table and Cli- cnian Societies joined in giving a very delightful and amusing' farce, Wl1at Happened to Jones. The play was exceptionally Well worked out for an ama-- teur production, and all the characters made the most of their roles. Jones, Philip B a rn e s, was excellent, and the Way in which he combined his bishopls clothes and foizesl character was exceeding- ly funny, Edith Hawes played Cissy with all the 7ZlCl'l'ZlC'ld and abandon which is the American college girl's privilege. S i dn e y Altschuler played the part of the Habusedl' Professor very well indeed. Miss Fuqua, with her false curls, was enough to frighten poor Jones, and james Field was a most pious Blslioyb and a most comical Indian. Space does not permit mention of all the other members of the cast, but it is sufficient to say that every o n e dfd extremely Well.

To show that they are friends, and, incidentally, to make one play take the place of two, the societies gave together the comedy What Happened to jones in the school auditorium the night of May 7. The house was almost full, and the audience was an appreciative one. The clubs are much in- debted to May Chace and john Roberts for the interesting and artistic posters which helped greatly to insure a good audience by arousing the schoolis curiosity. The final programme of the year was rather unusual. It was an evening picnic and hayride at the farm of Florence Fuqua, one of our members. This departure from the custom was a success, however, and every one seemed to enjoy the outing extremely. . . ., , --- M .-.5-.1s-Ssx:1:a:lllnamny-y,,--9...-L..-L.2:i:.:.Z-- E.---. .. .
