THE BACONIAN DRAMATIC CLUB The organization having the most members is the Dramatic Club. It is sponsored by Principal Goodrich. The President is Emanuel Greenblatt; Vice-President, Tessie Tynda; Secretary, Dorothea Gersten. For every meeting, a program has been arranged, in which the members read and discuss poems, plays, and dramatic work in general. During a recent assembly the “Lost Silk Hat’ was presented. The characters were: S. Horwitz, M. Chmiel, J. Tompkins, E. Greenblatt and I. Miller. This play was excellently produced. As a result “lie” is being rehearsed. The leading roles will be played by Vivian Cohen and Joseph Kursel. The work on these plays not only is a source of interest and enjoyment to the student body, but also gives the club members themselves very valuable experience. This year the Home Economics Club was continued under the leadership of Miss Tiffany. Officers were chesen at the first meeting. They are: Ruth Mintz. President; Dorothea Raymond, Vice-President; Gladys Kalmanowitz, Secretary; Edna Kashkin. chairman of assembly committee; Frances Hatt, entertainment committee. Girls of the club volunteered to help at a banquet given in Day Hall on April 24th. The proceeds will help to send representatives to the convention at Storrs on May 17th. The orchestra under the direction of Mr. Goodrich was organized in the fall. It has been playing at all school functions and for most of the dances after basketball games. Later irt the fall the orchestra sponsored the dancing class. At present it is practicing for graduation exercises. At the beginning of the year, a boys’ home economics class was organized by Miss Tiffany for the purpose of teaching the boys something of the duties of housekeep- ing. The class bought three white rats, and performed many successful experiments with them. The first half of the year closed with a very good chicken dinner, prepared by the bovs and also eaten by them. Because of lack of time, the class did not continue the last half of the year. It was a very successful venture, and the boys look forward to next year’s class.

THE BACONIAN JUNIORS Among the members lost to the Junior Class since last year in John Fedus, who, we regret to say, has been obliged to leave school because of serious illness. He has been greatly missed in athletics and other class activities. During the first class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Jos- eph Busel; Vice-President, Gertrude Seger; Treasurer, Hyman Falk; Secretary, Anna Sigal. Due to the resignation of Anna Sigal, Beatrice Gitlen was elected to fill the vacancy. David Levine is the representative to the Student Council, and Hyman Schwartz the member of the Fire Squad, who will, next year, be the Fire Chief. Many of the Juniors have taken active parts in athletics, David Levine being one of the star basketball players. Joseph Busel is the basketball manager and John Greg- ory, Hyman Falk, and John Zenowitz are members of the track and baseball teams. Sam Berman, the assistant, will become basketball manager next year. During the early part of October, the Juniors gave their first social, the customary welcome to Freshmen and newcomers. At present they are making plans for the Farewell Social to be given during the latter part of May, or in early June. ACADEMY BACON Twentj-four
