v CADUCEUS GIRLS' ICE SKATING CLUB ROBERTA RADLEY In time to the music at the Winter Garden silver blades go flashing around the rink. Most of these skates are on the feet of girls from Beaumont who belong to the Ice Skating Club. Many of the girls are practicing for more speed in order to win their letters by going around the rink six times in two and one-half minutes. This test takes place the last two Friday meetings of the skating season. The club goes skating every Friday after school. Gur annual picnic will be held on Saturday, May 24. at Spring Lake near Fenton, Missouri. Here for one day We indulge in swimming, hiking. horse- back-riding, dancing, and of course, eating.

.1 x Q.. - .I N CADUCEUSI ' I I THE DIGEST DoR1s RAYMER Beaumont I-Iigh School is a complete community in itself, and like any other community has its own newspaper, the Digest . The Digest has successfully recorded the happenings around Beaumont for the last twelve years. During this time innovations have been made in the style and content of the paper, but the quality and quantity of news found in the Hrst Digest still remains. The Digest in the course of its enviable record has won the International Second Place Award twice from the Medill School of Journalism, and this term has set a new high by getting the greatest number of subscriptions on record. There were 1670 subscribers to the Digest this term, which puts Beaumont, in proportion to the size of its student body, second among the public high-school newspapers in St. Louis. The editorial staff has had to work doubly hard because so many experi- enced writers were lost last term, but the staff has more than maintained the standard set by former editors. Through the combined efforts of Adele Chmiel- ecki and Dorothy Brockhoff, co-writers of the Old Judge: Stanley Schuman, writer of the Personality Column: Marie Koehr, the Girls Athletic Editor: Wiley Hance, the inimitable Snooper columnist: George Bohn and Elwood Rosenkoetter, versatile sports writers: Margaret Siebert and Marline Nininger. A'Things I Saw columnists: Paul Schulze, the Sports Spatter writer, and the rest of the equally invaluable staff, the Digest has turned out some really fine issues. Mr. Birr's continued guidance, the typists' unfailing aid, and the business managers' financial acumen have all helped immeasurably to make the Digest an outstanding success.

CADUCEUS ' it A wh e lx- N 1 .5 1 A Q oil' ' , 'Q MIXED CHORUS ' ,Ji-. J A f Y I 'J A NADINE MERK M fi f ' r The Beaumont Mixed Chorus is an organization comprised of upperfterm students interested in choral training. This group meets daily the first period 0 in Room 302. The enrollment at the present time consists of ll2 students. -W Because of the large number of girls applying for admission each term it has been necessary to limit such admissions in order to balance the choral parts. During this term the group has been hard at work preparing for the Music Festival, given April l. After having spent some time on light operatic selections. we are now working on the more serious and technical a cappella type of music. l-lospodi Pomiluin, a Russian hymn by Lvosky and Gloria Patrin by Palestrina are typical a cappella selections sung by the Mixed Chorus. Although our work occupies most of our time we always enjoy the social activities given by the group. This term we are looking forward with great eagerness to our annual picnic to be given at Chain of Rocks Park on June 7.
