Many new members have been added to the club, making a. total membership of fifty-four students. Of these, twenty-five have earned active membership by successful participation in some dramatic presentation, which entitles them to wear the club pin. The business side of the club was efficiently conducted, and an improve- ment was made in the social life of the club. Several afternoon parties were given, besides an evening party, which was held the latter part of September, and the farewell party to the Senors, which was a decided success.

Marie Stromberg Student Body business has not been unusually active this year, which M seems to indicate that all is calm and peaceful about our school. There was if rather a heated discussion about changing the name of the annual, but the ill vote taken did not accomplish the contemplated change. School spirit was very lacking during the first part of the year, especially 1 in regard to the support of our teams. However, after much coaxing, plead- l ing, and threatening on the part of scme of the faculty and the student body president a better turn out was noticed at the games. l Few parties have been held by the Student Body this year, but the school has not been without its usual social affairs. The many clubs which have been organized have directed this part of our activities quite pleasingly. qc 'Er-felirdilzi H as at ' r 4 is 7 ff- Y '! ffE - .iYYiQ'... .--.-W .gIQjSiz.1345f'l9'i:'i1A

Homer Spellenberg and Arthur Kincaid THE DEACON'S HAT The annual county play, which was given in the Arcata Grammar School Auditorium on the evening of March 26, 1926 was The Deacorfs Hat, a com- edy in one act by Jeanette Marks. This play was very skillfully presented to an unusually large and apprec- iative audience. The stage set was an artistic piece of work, showing the interior of a small Welsh store. ' The most outstanding characters of the play were those played by Harry Ramsey and Richard Stanley. An unusually fine quality of voice, combined with the complete control of his facial expression and the oppor- tune melting of the butter enabled the former to keep the audience in a continual uproar. Richard Stanley was noteworthy also for his facial ex- pression--or lack of it. These characters were ably supported by the other members of the cast.
