Activities LITERARY SOCIETY The Junior and Senior Literary Societies rendered interesting and instructive programs during the year. Meeting about twice a month during the entire year, made it possible to afford everyone opportunity to appear on the program at least once, and the talent displayed in various respects was quite plausible. Among the artists in the field of music special mention must be made of the following: Kathryn Farny, on the piano and violin; Pauline Gollatz, in the piano; John Michler, on the violin; Lewis Renhard, on the trombone; Harvey Reinhard, on the violin; Dorothy Anthony on the violin;Marguerite Zeimet, vocal and the piano; Alta Kern, on the violin. The readings by Ethel Ward, Kathryn Farny, Adele Trankley, Dorothy Anthony and Emily Toth; and the orations by John Marks, Robert Meckes, Mervin Frantz and Charles Johnston were quite •forceful. Among our debaters we must always remember Harold Dotter, Kathryn Farny, John Marks, Lewis Reinhard, Arlene Kunkle, Anna Stefany, Robert Clader, Charles Johnston and Louise Gruver. The students used discretion in electing at the beginning of the term the following officers: President, Norwood Morgan; Vice Pres. Mervin Frantz; Secretary, Burnetta Beltz; Critic, Ethel Ward; Pianist, Pauline Gollatz, Asst. Pianist, Kathryn Farny. CARNIVAL AND BAZAAR In November of 1926, the Athletic Association held a Carnival and Bazaar in the new Second Street Garage. Quite a number of donations in the form of refreshments, needlework, etc., helped swell the proceeds. Large crowds appeared both evenings, Friday and Saturday, and showed good spirit by spending freely. PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST The Eleventh Annual Prize Speaking Contest of the Coplay High School, held in the Pastime Thaetre, Thursday Evening, April 7, 1927, went over big.
