BOYS’ FIFE AND DRUM CORPS The Boys’ Fife and Drum Corps held their first meeting early in September and a leader was elected. The corps drilled outside as long as the weather permitted and then re- tired indoors to learn new selections. The membership was twenty-four, consisting of six drums and eighteen fifes. Many of the members were juniors and sophomores. The fife and drum corps has played twice in public, on April 19th in Lexington, and on Class Day. The corps has progressed more rapidly than in previous years and the success of the year may be attributed to the excellent cooperation of the boys and the expert in- struction of Mr. Maynard. 127 Edward F. Kelley, Drum Major.

•»—• 'i RADIATOR YEAR BOOK PLAYERS’ CLUB Friday afternoon, September 24, saw the inauguration of the fifth season of the Somer- ville High School Flayers’ Club, under the leadership of Miss Harriet M. Bell. The club began its work under the guidance of the following officers: President, Wilbur Irving; Vice- PresidentJennie Gilbert; Secretary, Blanche Baptista; Treasurer, Sheldon Christian. Later, Evelyn Robinson was elected Corresponding Secretary. After tryouts had taken place and about thirty-five new members had been admitted to the club, our first theatre party was held on November 11, at the Repertory Theatre, to see “Arms and the Man.” Through the kindness of Mr. Sturtevant, manager of the theatre, the club members were invited backstage. On Friday, December 10, Professor Gilmer, of Tufts College, gave an illustrated lecture on “The Stage in Europe.” On that same afternoon. Miss “Peg” Entwhistle, star of the play “Tommy,” and Mrs. Frank Chouteau Brown were guests of the club. On the kind invitation of Professor Gilmer, the club has enjoyed many plays at Tufts College. Our Christmas play, “Fiat Lux” (Let There Be Light), was presented during school hours and again in the evening on December 21 for the general public. The play was a great success through the diligent work of Miss Bell and the cast. On Wednesday, January 26, a few Players’ Club members enjoyed a lecture in Reper- tory Hall. The Players’ Club has accepted many invitations to see dramas in other schools, one of them being at Harvard College. We were fortunate enough to be shown through the entire Widener Stage Library at Harvard. The “Teachers’ Jollification” took place on Feb. 9, and was voted a great success by both teachers and pupils. At the close of this year the club wishes to thank all teachers and students alike who have helped in furthering the work of the Players’ Club. Especially do we wish to thank Miss Bell, our dramatic advisor and coach, whose unceasing work and understanding has made her an inspiration to all. May the future years of the Players’ Club be filled with success and happiness! And may the future members of our club hold high the standard which we have striven to maintain. 129 Blanch e Baptista, Secretary.
