qs gn 5231? THE ALGONQUIN TMAQS SCHOOL BAND Under the able leadership of Miss Elizabeth Dominy, our band was organized in the fall of 1934. By December we were ready for our first concert which was a success. Because of this success, we won the most coveted part of our band-the baritone horn and the bass horn. During the year we made several public appearances-including the championship bas- ketball game, the school circus and two con- certs. We entered a contest at Massena in April in which we won first prize. -Anna Harriett Barber. ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB President ..................... Anne Robins Secretary-Treasurer .......

N ' QI 3 425 6,53 QQ! THE ALGONQUIN In the spring term of SCHOOL CLUBS 1934 various clubs, centering on the different subjects taught in the school, were formed. the first class period on periods rotated - that is, day, the second period purpose. In the fall and winter the first meeting of these ing the first hour period These met during each Monday. The, on the second Mon- was used for this semester of 1934-35 clubs was held dur- of Monday, October 15th. Many new clubs were formed on that day. One of these additions was the Photo- graphy Club. Each Monday during this same hour, until the middle of May, the clubs met regularly. Picnics and dances were frequently sponsored by their members. I believe two of our most helpful and pro- gressive clubs to be formed were-the Parlia- mentary Club, conducted by the third and fourth year English teacher, Mrs. Cunning- hamg and the History Debate Club, self- governing but under the dominance of Mr. Danforth, history teacher. Those who did not choose to join one of these many clubs stayed in the study hall under a teacher's supervision. At the present time, these Monday morning clubs are most helpful institutions and highly favored by the students. They will probably become even more popular, as they more firmly establish themselves in high school life. -Winslow Harmon.
