ASSOCIATED STUDENTS The first Associated Students’ meeting was held January 15, 1906, President Brush presiding. Dr. Thompson’s speech of welcome to the students was appreciated very much by all. Again this term, we had a very lengthy discussion as to how many members from each class should be on the executive committee. As the constitution is very indefinite, and parts of it, scattered, a motion was passed that the committee elected compose the Executive Committee for this term. A motion was passed that a committee be appointed, which in con- junction with Dr. Thompson and Miss Hohfeld, should frame a new constitution. At a meeting of the “Associated Students” held January 26, 1906, the students heard the glad news of the enlarging of the stage and the procuring of suitable scenery. The students will no longer have to rent a place to present their entertainments. Bids are also out for the building of a basket-ball court. The Low Senior Class will give the first of the Friday afternoon entertainments, about the middle of February. It is an original farce, written by HelenStroupe, Ida Spence, and Adele Ehrenberg. It promises to be very funny and contains many joshes on the students and faculty. CLASS ORGANIZATIONS June, ‘06 has organized for its finale term. Frank Lawrence is President; Helen White, Vice-Pres; May Bissell, Sec.; Ted Lynch, Treas. The following officers of the class of December, '06 were elected the last part of last term, and are as follows: Pres., Howard Fassett; Vice- Pres., Ida Spence; Sect’y, Grace Renner; Treas., Henry Jackson. The meetings of the class have been very enthusiastic. The dance, which the class is to give, promises to be a very swell affair. The date is set for the 23rd of February, and the bids have already been printed. The music, refreshments and decorations have been planned with the greatest care, and promise to be the most elaborate ever seen at the High School dance.

THE ACORN PI DELTA KOPPA The class of December, 1909 organized at a highly enthusiastic meeting, held January 25, 1906. The election for the various officers resulted as follows: Pres., George Montgomery; Vice-Pres., Miss E. Wittman; Sec’t’y, “Percivale” Seagrave; Treas., Miss M. Vaughn. With such officers the class is assured of an enjoyable and suc- cessful term. DELTA SIGMA THETA Since the begining of the term Eta of Pi Delta Koppa Fraternity has pledge Jack Miller and Spencer Brush. The Delta chapter of Delta Sigma Theta looks forward to a very prosperous year. An initiation will be held in the near future, at which Ida Spence, Grace Renner, Norma Whitney, and Marion Troy will become members. ALPHI PI Alpha Pi was instituted among the boys of the upper classes in the school on November 8, 1905. The chief design of the new honor society is to raise the general tone of scholarship among the higher classmen. To this end, at least a second section in each subject, is maintained by its members, and will be the primary requirement for admission. There are ten charter members, with Dr. Thompson, who is an honary member. The constitution of the new society is almost directly copied from that of the Chi Rho Omega fraternity of Kenyon Academy, at Gambier, Ohio. A chapter was founded some years ago in one of the Second- ary Schools of San Francisco, and it is through this medium that the Alameda society has been founded. While the Alpha Pi is largely based on Chi Rho Omega, it is not, at the present time, officially connected with it. Alpha Pi opens in the Alameda High School with a most en- couraging outlook. ; oi
