A. HOGLE ROOSEVELT DAY The Albany High School has taken a great step, in fact a long stride, in the direction of public recognition of American patriots, when it insti- tuted the observance of Roosevelt Day. Great credit should be given Mr. Cook, the library staff, and the several student committees for their assist- ance in making this day a success. In every English class throughout the school, programs, by Roosevelt, for Roosevelt and about Roosevelt were given. His creed was displayed in a conspicuous place in every room. In one class some pupils acted out an incident in his life. In others anecdotes were read, and in several classes Edith Wharton's beautiful poem With the Tide was read. No 2.7

THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club started this year with a rush. It opened the season by electing officers and the following were chosen: President, Miss Dorcas Hager, Vice-President, Miss Evelyn Magee, Treasurer, Davis L. Shultes, Secretary, Michael Tepedino. The membership this year is very large and as more and more hear of the excellent programs arranged by the program committee, headed by Miss Constance Beauman, the attendance steadily increases. Plans are being made for the purchase of a new phonograph to be used in the meetings. At present, the club is looking forward with a great deal of expectancy to the Christmas entertainment. This is an annual affair and very popular. The plans this year are more elaborate than usual. Miss Ruth Devlin has charge of the Club's library. The library in- cludes many French books and magazines which all members of the club may borrow. This material is of inestimable value in acquainting our people with French customs and styles of literature. Recently, Dr. Cochrane gave an illustrated lecture about Paris to the members. All who are eligible are urged to join now and under the able leader- ship of our president we shall carry the club through to a most successful close. DAv1s L. SHULTEs, '23
