Morris--- --.- -.-...-.--.-.- S ec'reta'ryf'T'reasurer The Civics Club is the youngest of the school clubs but it is a lusty infant. It was established for the purpose of supplementing text book studies by a personal investif gation as to the manner in which our city and state are governed, our courts are operated, and the law enforced and administered. The Club has made the study of civics very attractive and interesting and the mem' bers have visited various courts during the progress of civil and criminal trials and have thus been enabled to get irst hand information that it would be impossible to get in any other way. Besides giving its members this opportunity of having a practical demonstration of how our government is administered, the civics club has given its members a chance to get better acquainted with each other and to compare notes on various phases of the study of civics. Membership in this Club has meant that the study of civics has been a real pleasure and that we have been able to get very good marks on our monthly cards. Certainly no account of the Civics Club would be complete without the mention of Mr. Coppock. Mr. Coppock has given time and effort in sponsoring our club and to him go the thanks of the entire club for his efforts in making it one of the foremost organizations in the Central Day School.

Colburn. Policeman, pistol shots, screams of terrified women, yells of panicfstricken men, burglarsfthat was the spectacle presented by the Dramatic Club in Stop Thief, a comedy written by Carlyle Moore and presented by the Dramatic Club under the able guidance of Mr. Carlisle Bloxom. The cast was composed of members of the Club and ably assisted by talented young ladies to whom much of the success of this production is due. They, together with the club members, performed most creditably. Mention must be made of Ben Marcus, an alumnus, who carried the leading role. Rosalie, a onefact drama presented in the fall at an assembly, was also played at the Chicago Boys' Club No. 2. The Central Dramatic Club claims the distinction of being the first club of Central to broadcast a radio program. A series of short skits were broadcast from WSWS. The object of the Club is to present clean, wholesome plays, and to train those men who are interested in amateur dramatics. Dramatics has taken a firm hold on Central and, thanks to the never failing patience and generosity of Mr. Bloxom, who gave liberally of his time and efforts, the Club has achieved remarkable success in its productions.

The Orchestra is one of the oldest and best known organizations in the Evening School, although it does not contain the same members for more than one year at a time. It has, however, withstood the effect of the changes and has gradually come to be an important part of the assembly program. The Orchestra has performed at nearly all the social functions of the School through' out the year, some of them being the College Mixer, the High School Mixer, February Graduation Exercises, the Dramatic Club plays, and all of the assemblies. This year for the first time, the Orchestra accompanied the Glee Club. The success of the combination was proved by the applause of the students in assembly. Sam Schwartz, the Orchestras solo violinist, has left school for further study of the violin. The Orchestra wishes success to him. The graduating members of the Orchestra sincerely urge the undergrads to join the organization next year and make it the largest and best ever. The Orchestra was augmented by men from the College who, incidentally, were members of the high school organization last year. Other college musicians are invited. Mr. F. W. McClusky, the director, and his men met faithfully every Wednesday night and rehearsed the many programs until the janitor turned out the lights. The students and members of the Orchestra take this opportunity to thank Mac for his unselfish help. Fawcis W. CoLBuRN, President.
