THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION ‘5 English club. The English Clnb made an auspicious opening at its initial meeting of the year, held in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday afternoon. Oct. 2:2, 1913, at 3.30 o’lock. Miss Furdon, ’14, and Wunderlich, '14, presided, and gave a cordial welcome to all present, espe- cially to the newcomers. The consti- tution was read, and Crowley. '14, was elected secretary for the ensuing year. Miss Woodend, ’15, opened the pro- gram with a piano solo. Hondo Ca- pricc-ioso,” by Mendelssohn, which was well executed and appreciatively re- ceived. The literary theme of the afternoon was Old England.” Miss MacBride. '1C , gave a short his- tory of the ballad in English literature, and then reci ted The Bold Pedler and Robin Hood.” Miss Eberhardt, ’14, Miss Clare, '14. and Miss Kennedy. ’16, in costume, sang an old English song, entitled The Three Old Maids of Lee.” Miss Stickney, ’14. read an original paper on The Origin of Hallowe’en.” Miss Morgan, ’15, who travelled in England this vacation, undertook the difficxdt task of lecturing on some of the places which she visited. She was assisted by the stereopticon, and slides of her own procuring. This was a novel feat for a student, and was cred- itably accomplished. The meeting ended with the singing of the IPa tional anthem, “America.” The popularity of the English Club, as well as the educational value of its work, was shown by the large attend- ance at this meeting, and it is hoped i hat the new students will join the club, and so secure the benefits to be derived from an organization of this kind. The November meeting will be in charge of Miss Eberhardt, 14. and Goldsmith, 14. Crowley, 14, Sec. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB. The first meeting of the Girls’ Glee Club was held on September 29.
