Several performances at school assemblies were appreciated very much by the students. Problems, how- ever, arose due to the irregular attendance at rehearsals, and partly to the holiday season. The Orchestra made its debut at the Inter-class Mixer, rather a surprise to the large gathering assembled that evening. The beginning of this semester brought six new members to the Orchestra, nearly completing the necessary instrumentation. The instru- ments represented are piano, violin, viola, clarinet, cornet, cello, saxophone, trombone, and flute. Recent performances showed an increasing demand for more of the popular numbers. Special effort will be made to develop more of this type of music for future audiences. At the performance of The Y Trail given by students of the Junior School March lst, the Orchestra, with several additions, and under the direction of Mr. Webb, supplied the music for the evening. Our purpose is to organize a bigger and better orchestra, and furnish the best possible form of entertainment for future assemblies and social gatherings of this chool S S. W. PRZANOWSKI.

Sergeant-at-Arms At the beginning of the school year this new club was formed from the members of the gym class with the help of our athletic instructor, Mr. G. Scheuchenpilug, popularly known to the members of the gym classes as X. As its name implies the purpose of this club is to train student leaders who assisting the gym director with the high school class and aiding the promotion of athletic contests will foster in the school a better athletic spirit Membership in the Club IS by the invitation of the club members and as a consequence is somewhat restricted Our aim in lmposing this restriction 1S to secure from the gym members those fellows who earnestly desire to follow out the aims of this club and make the very best types of leaders among their classmates It is hoped that this group through 1tS high aims and valuable work will become one of the most important clubs of the school, so that all stu dents who attend the gym will have it before them as one of their goals ALDEAN DAHLEN ,U l , I , Y 7 , O , , lo-- ,xiii lg ,a. .

Secretary-Treasurer At a conference of a few students, it was decided to form a club where members could match their skill against each other in the games of checkers and chess. Dueuto lack of available time, Stanley Kuhns resigned the position of president in favor of the Vice-President. Mr. Marr and Mr. Davis became members of the Club and gave lectures on the science of chess. We soon gained so much popularity that Mr. O. N. Wing succumbed, was duly initiated, and after some strenuous exertions on our part, was taught a few of the more simple moves of the game. The Club gave prizes to the final champions of the chess and checker tournaments which consisted of two miniature silver loving cups engraved with the name of the club, denoting which of the tournaments were won, name of the winner and year cup was won. The attendance and interest taken in the games and contests, plus the technical knowledge gained, have not only benefited the members but assure the permanency of this club in the school. DAVID C.
