oRcANlzATloNs GLEE CLUB The Glee Club of the School has had a very successful year under the guidance of Miss Herrick of the faculty and Mr. Stetson, the music supervisor of the school. This year the Glee Club was the largest ever with thirty-eight enrolled. Unfortunately there were only four boys enrolled, but in spite of this fact some very difficult music was mastered. Some of the selections were: Over The Foaming Waves by Wilson Carmelina by Talbot The Way You Look Tonight by Kern Let us hope that next year we have many more boys who are willing to sing in the club. The members of the Club were: Ruth Eklund Evelyn Maxwell Yvonne Montpelier Harriet Norton Gertrude Bean Myrtle Cox Dorothy Hamilton Lois Preston Rowena Martin Harriet Dow Elizabeth Trafton Carol Davis Mary Martin Helen Blake Rosemary Kennon Norma Gray Ianet Kerwin Florence Oleson Lena Studley Carroll Wallace Norma Iordan Doris Kerwin Marion Hale Earl Iordan Laurine Reynolds Helen Beale Alice Leavitt Calvin Iordan Ruth Hutchinson Dorothy Oleson Miriam Leighton Graham Croy SKI CLUB For the second year the Cape Elizabeth High School Ski Club enjoyed a successful season. The club was composed of former members and a large number of new students interested in skiing. A group practice was held on the slopes of the Purpoodock Club during the Christmas vacation. We were very fortunate in securing as instructors, Dick and Byron Dow, two expert skiers from Portland. Although this was the only regular practice held, several members took trips to the White Mountains during the year. The club had two meets scheduledg one, a dual meet with the South Portland High Ski Teamg the other, the Annual Southwestern Maine Meet. Due to unfavorable snow conditions, neither one could be held. At the close of the season all new members received emblems. Club Officers President ........................................................ ....... H arry B.

ORCHESTRA The high school orchestra, begun six years ago, has improved much in the last year, When it was first organized, the orchestra was led by Mr. Oscar lones, a very able instructor. Mr. lones stayed with us for two years and then Mr. Roger Calderwood took his place. After Mr. Calderwood left our present instructor, Mr. Stetson, came to the school and with a great deal of effort on his part and the part of others, made the orchestra an active organization, perhaps, the best we have ever had. Mr. Robert Stetson, the leader, was graduated from Bowdoin in 1918 with an AB. de- gree, from the New England Conservatory of Music in 1928, where he taught piano for one year. Later he studied at the Surette Summer School and the Columbia Teachers College. This year the orchestra played for the One-Act plays, twice for the Grange, and for the Portland Teachers Convention, with other schools. Violin Carol Davis Sherman Peiffer Laurine Reynolds Ruth Hutchinson Harriett Dow Myrtle Cox The orchestra consists of: Trumpet Oscar Wilber Faith Wing Earle Follett Douglas Gray Trombone Graham Croy Calvin Iordan Piano Harriett Norton Louise Marshall Evelyn Maxwell Bass Horn Douglas Murray Drums Thomas Cowan

ACTIVITIES SENIOR CLASS PLAYS lhmalrl lnlilw, Cimlmm Lfrny, Ann Rowsc. I3.1vitI Thurston, Own Wilbur, II.1rl.m Wvluxtvr. The Valiant Breaking the usual custom of presenting one lengthy play, the Senior Class this year sponsored three short presentations. The Valiant, The Winner, and There's Always Tomorrow were presented in the Town Hall on February IG. The Valiant, a stirring drama of a condemned prisoner, was by far the outstanding play. David Thurston, as the valiant, self-sacrificing hero, and Graham Croy, as the uncer- tain warden, turned in fine performances which even brought a few tears from the moved audience. Anne Rowse, with the only feminine part in the play, and Oscar Wilbur, Harlan Webster, and Donald Libby added background and plot to the presentation. George Pegg, Constance Brink. Nancy Ring.
