S. I. V. iiotes The last meeting of the D. L. V. was an especially interesting one. It consisted of a journey on the Rhine, illustrated by stereopti-can views. Stops were made at the chief cities and most interesting places on the river, and the legends and history of them told by members of the club. E )t Cibica Club The Civics club has had some very enthusiastic and pleasant meetings this month. Reports were read by the various members of the different social settlement work at the Alta House, Goodrich House and the like. A spread was given, in which the Faraday club was invited. Mr. Ozanne gave us a very interesting talk on Insurance. Hereafter, we shall know to insure ourselves, and provide for ourselves in our age. The last meeting of the club was on the 19th of May. Commercial Club The Commercial club held a mock trial at its meeting. Our last meeting ended with a visit to the life saving station. reeb Club The club has now finished its pleasing and instructive work for this year, which chiefly comprised the reading of “The Persians.” We have, however, had several diversions from the regular routine, in the way of spreads and social gatherings. The interest displayed by past officers of the club is hoped for and expected in those of next year. They have been elected as follows: Blanche Watkins, president; Randolph Payne, vice-president; Helen Stevens, secretary; El- vene Zdara, treasurer; Woodruff Richardson, sergeant-at-arms. Jtei Omega The past year of the Psi Omega has been of great value for its members both in a literary and social way. During the first part of the year, great interest was taken in the extemporaneous debates and talks on the subjects of the day. After the admission of the Sophomore members, Parliamentary drill was taken up, in order that they might know something about it for next year. The officers for the coming year are: President, Randolph Payne; Vice-President, Austin Hart; Secretary, Walter Akers; Sergeant-at-Arms, Sterling Graham; Executive Committee, Henry Rogers and Albert Akers. He Hpcee Jfraneaitf The Lycee Francais has had a very successful year. “La Poudre aux Yeux,” by Labiche and Martin, an interesting humorous play was our first literary attempt. For our subsequent literary meetings “L’Abbe Constantin,” a dramatization of the book by the same name, has taught us much of French country life. With the money in our treasury we expect to purchase a set of books on French literature for the C. H. S. library and thus make it the first High School to have a French corner. Near the end of the year a dance was given to the Philomatheons, the Shakespeare club and the Boys’ Glee club. A pleasant time was had, greatly enlivened by some starving mortals, who had not been invited. For their revenge they secretly devoured most of the refreshments beforehand. All in all, though, we’ve had a very progressive year. Page Twenty-three

Pace Twenty two (jfave C ubs £. 31. . ott During the past month, we have enjoyed talks by two of the teachers. Dr. Zeligzon spoke to us about “The Dreyfus Case” and Miss Adams on “Sidney Lanier.” At'our last meeting we laid aside our work and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in dancing. 5). C. Jioteg “Little beginnings have great endings.” Such was the case with the Philomatheons this year. Starting with almost no club at all, at the beginning of this year not having enough members to form a quorum, the membership has grown to swelling numbers. The following Juniors were elected during the past month: Dudley Hawley, Alvin Seith, Donald Abbott, Stanley Bates, Rogers Jewitt and Donald Wilson, who were initiated at the last meeting. During the past month the club was entertained by the G. L. S. and the Lycee Francais at dancing parties. The annual banquet was held on the twenty-third of May at Telling’s. It was well attended by the members and invited alumni. Speeches and jokes were indulged in, with Mr. Harris acting as toastmaster. All present will certainly not forget the good time which they enjoyed at this last meeting of the P. D. C. of 1907-8. JBeta appa The club has been enjoying very good programs of late. A very interesting debate was given, “Resolved, That woman should be placed on an equal basis politically with man.” Mr. Walter Fecker also gave us another set of views, this time on Germany. The following members have recently been taken into the club: Louise Bauman, Helen Foote, Frances Lindgren, Irene Love, Helen Ploeger, Nettie Schuenaman and Florence Timendorfer. Jfaratmp Club On April 25, the club enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the home of John Paine on Euclid Heights. On May 5 we were entertained by the Civics club; Mr. Ozanne’s talk on Life Insurance was very interesting and the refreshments which followed were greatly enjoyed. Joseph Newman has recently become a member of the club. bakc0P?are Club Since the successful production of “As You Like It,” on May 1, nothing of great moment has occurred. Soon, however, elections will be held, after which the Juniors of the club will assume authority. S lpmptan Club iiotejs The Olympian club held its last meeting for this year on April 28. We are sorry to break up after a very pleasant and profitable year.

POf 8 Twenty-four Central 8; Wt t 6—Spril 29. Central's baseball season opened Wednesday, April 29, with a victory over the West High team. This victory evens up the two defeats of our basket ball team. Both teams secured two runs in the first inning and from that time until the finish the game looked very doubtful. Central obtained three runs in the fifth which put them in the lead. West braced up but tried in vain to gain the lead. Smith of Central did some fine pitching, striking out eight of the West Side team and allowing them but six hits. Central obtained eight singles and a double from Murphy. The main feature of the game, however, was the base stealing of both teams. Score: CENTRAL HIGH. Players. AB. R. H. O. A.

Until the last inning it seemed that Central would shut out her opponents but a little slip gave Lincoln three runs at the finish. The game was played in the rain and the field was in very poor condition, nevertheless, the game was well played. Krebs of Central pitched a very clever game and was well supported by the remainder of the team, especially the fielders. Hulmek of Lincoln would have proved more effective if he had been given good support by his team-mates. Score:
