Treasurer Should you have wandered down near the Auditorium late one evening last September and heard the commotion and excitement and paused long enough to inquire what it was all about, a peep into the Auditorium would have satisfied your curiosity. You would have seen a comely, rather serious looking man standing before a prodigious group of crooks, moonshine smug- glers, cowboys, financiers, artists and what not, for it was the organization meeting of the Dramatic Club and this comely looking gentleman was none other than Mr. Carlisle Bloxom. Mr. Bloxom had just delivered an inten- sively realistic reading which had so delighted the group that they had uncon- sciously become frenzied with excitement and applause. But that was that. More was yet to be seen of Mr. Bloxom and the Drama- tic Club., About two months later at the lnter-Class Mixer the Dramatic Club presented The Moonshinerf' a one-act play with its setting among the moonshiners in the hills of Kentucky. This won first prize as the best act on the bill. Later, at the Class Day Exercises, after six weeks of intensive and patient coaching, the Dramatic Club successfully presented, A Suc- cessful Calamityf' a comedy in four acts, which, without a doubt, revealed Mr. Bloxom as a coach of wide experience and natural ability. The club is now busily engaged in practice for the June play, which will mark the culmination of a year of unprecedented achievements. ' J. ANTHONY STIH. fPage 631 I I 'G 2.3 , 1 ' Lg ' if ?

Treasurer il if . . . . . i Reallzlng the necessity for developing themselves more definitely along i physical, moral, and mental lines, a group of Freshmen decided to organize ii a club to accomplish this purpose. The result was the Tri Mu Club. This ig name was chosen since it emphasises the purpose of the Club, namely, mental, if moral, and muscular development. I The organization has been perfected and officers elected for the balance ' of the year. They are: President, R. Woodfield, Vice-president, E. Srneetong Q Treasurer, DeCordovag Secretary, Lowell Stevenson. I The program committee of the Club has worked out a series of tests which :z aims to develop the members in a symmetrical growth. At present the mem- I bers are working on the first degree. Programs at the Club meetings con- 3 sist of discussions on subjects of Vital interest to the boys. Personal, as well 1 as social, problems are discussed and a common understanding of these prob- l lems is the aim. By developing a common group standard, it is believed gg the Club will be able to influence, to a great extent, the life of the boys at R Central Prep. The Club has taken trips to several of Chicagds largest in- I dustries and other points of interest. ln the future, speakers to boys, as well if as other forms of entertainment, will constitute important features on the Club li program. I A splendid sweater emblem has been adopted by the boys and has helped it a great deal to make the influence of the Club count in the school. I2 We are looking forward to a progressively successful year in 1925-'26. I I:Page 621 If l - E 7 'T 'mmm ' ' ' ' 3 E

Colburn, F. W. lVlcClusky, E. C. Dobin, George V. Pohelski. ORCHESTRA Music hath charms is a quotation that has been proved a fact by mem- bers of the musical research laboratory under the able direction of Mr. William F. lVlcClusky. Every Monday evening the sweet strains of music may be heard floating, now somewhat morbidly, now spritely, through the halls of Old Central. The orchestra, although seriously handicapped by evening practices, has become one of the leading organizations of the school, lending color and inspiration through the stimulating channels of music. This loyal group comprising the orchestra has spent many late hours in practice so that proficiency might be attained in the presentation of the se- lections. The student body as a whole appreciates the fact that an organization such as the orchestra continues with such good spirit. The constituents of activities are not complete, in the students' opinion, without an organization of this nature. The Orchestra of '25 sincerely hopes that succeeding groups will continue the splendid work and attain a new goal for each succeeding ensemble. lPage 641 - . ....,.,.....,.v...mm..4.-lm.l..mm..-- . wi1mm.....m......,.......u,...W-ii.. mu.-.....mnm-......,. .1.i,.L A, 4 it ,-1 4 , wp, 1--it-g i yi
