lf Or anigatiolls THE E EPI TAN With all of the old pep and enthusiasm the new li Fpi Tan has taken hold of its work and done credit to itself during the past semester. New, because many of the older members have graduated and new students have taken their placs. With clock-like precision all of the business is carried through and the meeting turned over to the program committee. During the semester some wonderful pro- grams have been offered in the way of debates on various subjects of national and inter- national interest. An interesting feature of the program at the beginning of the semester was a mock trial in which the president was tried. Nor are all of the entertainments confined to members alone. The club took charge of a noon program in the early part of the semester and for twenty minutes or so the fifth and sixth period students were entertained by a quartet, a saxophone solo, and a reading, all given by various members of the club. Another social feature not confined to members alone was a party given in the school gymnasium on the evening of November Sth. Dancing was the main feature of the evening, although several games of Rook were played by those not dancing. TPIE STUDENT COTTNCIL Numerous and varied have been the activities of the Student Council this year. While, since the publication of the last Quill no spectacular accomplishment has overshadowed the others, many necessary and important actions have been taken. Among these are the erection of the drinking fountain in the Gymnasium, the pur- chase of the flags of the allies for use in the auditorium, rendering assistance in the Quill drive, the purchase and framing of a copy of Darling's prize winning car- toon of 1923, and participation in the highly successful Parent-Teachers, meeting of December 12th. During the past few weeks several requests have been received from high school principals in different sections of the country for a copy of the constitution of the Council. The letters state that Fast Des Nloines is regarded as one of the few high schools that has a really successful Student Council. The Council regards as the primary reason for whatever it may have attained the splendid co-operation of the student body. It wishes to take this opportunity to as- sure every student of its sincere appreciation of the line loyalty and spirit of help- fulness that has been so often exhibited during the past semester. JUNIOR Y. VV. C. A. The Fast High ,lunior Y. W. has been growing steadily since its organization and is stronger this year than ever. There are now fifty girls enrolled and we expect to initiate many more. At present our ofiicers are as follows: President, Pauline xlackson, vice-president, Dorothy Huggins, secretary, Ida Levine, treasurer, Vernita Kirkland. Chairman of the committees are: Program, Dorothy Huggins, social, Dorothy Grey, publicity, Mary Caspe, service, Vernita Kirkland, membership, lda Levine. The advisers are Miss Woodman, Miss Scott, and Miss Buxton. The girls are active, dependable freshmen who are taking an active interest in our club. We have great hopes that our club will be a true and loyal one. We know it will, with the backing of all of the freshmen students. 29
