Alice Frymir 'Secretary ....................................... Ida McGuffey Treasurer Emma Donaldson Keystone was the name chosen for the club Th time set for future meet lngs was the third Friday of every month and dues were to be paid monthly The question as to whether the club was to be for Educational purposes or for brightening the lives of these eX1les from home wa then discussed It was decided to have the purpose of the club purely social and many good times were planned But alas' Friday seemed to be an unfortunate choice for every Friday night either the N S P E s were enjoying the strict rules of probation under the watchful eye of Mrs Pmckney or the D S were busily occupied until the wee hours cramming for a Chemistry examination to be given bright and early Monday morning We were kept so busy during the winter term that social times were not in vogue and those who were able to smile after the last final eXam was over could consider themselves very fortunate indeed The coming of spring has caused a resurrection and at present we are planning a hike and a breakfast served in true keystone style The cities represented are Allentown Kams City Roulette Hilda Appel Esther Burke Louis Chastian Phl d 1 h Bllfown 1 ililgnlajrrb Titusulle Don Pfeiffer Emma Donaldson Perry Blakeslee Couderport Wm Lod 6 Williamsport Pittsburgh Fern Hartwick Martha Meyers Ahce Frymn.

The Trebleelef' Talented people, a passionate love for music, a suggestion and a leader- this was the beginning and growing center of the Trebleclef. An invitation was given to all members of the School in chapel, and several ambitious Seniors made special effort to give personal invitations. Consequently the Trebleclef was organized with a membership of about thirty, in January of the present, year, and is still growing. The executive body was elected and the neXt problem was to make our aim a reality. Our aim was a two-fold purpose of not only sustaining life, but also to promote growth in this new born organization. Growth to us did not merely imply an increased membership, but a development of talents, social life, physique, mind and soul. . Music was chosen and purchased while re ular atherinffs were held f g 8 s ' However, early in its life, practices were postponed for a definite period, as our able directress, Mrs. Olive Cooper, to whom we feel much indebted, was un- expectedly called home. ' VVhen practices were resumed upon her return, much enthusiasm was shown and the Trebleclef was soon rehearsing for the june graduating exercises. In this delightful beginning, we hope there is a never dying nucleus which shall multiply and develop forever. VVe furthermore foresee a world-wide career for the TREBLECLEF. . 58
