THE BACONIAN DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Tiffany and Miss Cole, proved to be very successful this year. More than once the student body has been entertained by some program it had to offer. The officers are: President, Edward O’Connor; Vice- President, Anna Sigal; Secretary, Gertrude Seger and Treasurer, Lillian Hankin. The membership to this club is considerably large, despite the fact that meetings are held outside of school time. The members are those who are interested and are will- ing to work. On November 23rd, this club presented in Day Hall a comedy entitled “The Burglary at Brown’s.” It was very well staged and proved to be a success. The cast included: Sam Berman, Doris Riley, Max Chmiel, Lillian Hankin, Edward O’Connor, Joseph Busel, Beatrice Gitlin, Anna Broder, Hyman Falk and John Gregory. The coaches well deserve the credit given. Early in March this club presented for the student body a play entitled “Local and Long Distance”. The characters were Mary Gilman, Minnie Jaffe, Rose Einhorn, Ruth Liverant, Anna Broder, Lillian Hankin and Edward O’Connor. We wish to thank the sponsors for their efforts in making this organization the success it has been. GLEE CLUB We were very fortunate this year to again be able to have a Glee Club. Through the efforts of Principal Stickney and Miss O’Brien such an organization was made pos- sible. The officers elected were: Hyman Schwartz, President; Isaac Miller, Vice-Presi- dent, and Beatrice Gitlin, Secretary and Treasurer. A constitution was drawn up which provided for various committees to servo during the year. There is a special committee with the power to amend the constitu- tion, when necessary. It also provides that the Vice-President is automatically to be President next year. This organization presented for the student body a very fine musical entertain- ment. The group sang “Medley of Patriotic Songs”, “Telling it to the Daisies”, “Sweet and Low”, and “Moonlight on the River Colorado”. Edwin Stebbins rendered a vocal solo—“Bells of the Sea”. The group was divided into altos, sopranos, and bass. The enrollment is about the largest of any club. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club under the leadership of Miss Tiffany and affiliated with the State and National Home Economics Clubs held its first meeting to elect its officers: President, Annie Ewafove; Vice-President, Dorothea Raymond; Secretary, Beatrice Gitlin, and Treasurer, Mary O’Connor. The freshmen and newcomers were initiated by the upper classmen. In spite of this, none of them withdrew. Mrs. W. Dean, President of the State Home Economics Club gave a splendid talk. The girls wish to thank Miss Vincent, local school nurse, for her interesting lec- tures given every Wednesday on Home Nursing and Child Care. It was compulsory for the girls who take Home Economics to attend these meetings. Many interested upperclassmen also attended and appreciated them. BACON ACADEMY Fourteen
