Miss O,Neill is our faculty adviser, and we take this opportunity of expressing our grati- tude to these supervisors, and 10 our helpful friend, Mr. Jenkins, for their sincere co-opcralion. Our progwuns are exceedingly interesting and instructive. They usually begin with some musical selections, and, for the main part, consist of commercial impnrtancc and interosl. Short talks by members of 1119 club, or an address by some man of affairs, prove to be a very substantial education for amateur business people. We, ihe members of lhis club, invite lhc mnnnon-iul Seniors 01' the coming year to continue ils work and ever to keep it in the highest esteem of 1111, thereby contribuling tn lhc imprcgmlhlo honor of East High.

The main purpose of the Club was to become acquainted with the lives of all the great astronomers and the part they have taken in the founding of their great science. In order to do this, it was necessary to know something of constellations, and two evenings at month were devoted to their study. The observations were conducted either at the Observatory or on the tiramlin ltozul viaduct. Connected with the study of the constellations, many interesting legends were learned. These legends have come to us from astronomers who studied our stars and planets thousands of years ago, but who were 11:111tli111umtl by the. luck of astronomical devices that are now employed. Since they were not able to explain many of the phenomena they saw, they evolved weird aml fantastic tales, whieh were handed down from generation to generation and today come In us as legends. The members of the Club feel that besides adding to their interest in Astron- omy, much valuable knowledge has been acquired. At the end of the year we had the customary picnic supper and a last look at the stars. The evening furnished an appropriate linzlle to our interesting course in Astronomy. The club would like to express its grateful appreciation to Miss Sltute for her untiring efforts in steering for us such :1 true course among the stars. LYSlJi Dunne. 93

It was organized in November for the purpose of 111:1ki11g the study of Law more interesting and also for the purpose of taking up phases of Law which we had no time for in class. Any person who had taken Law, 01' vus taking it, was eligible. We had interesting meetings the first Tuesday of every month in the Brown Club Room, in which we combined the funny side with the. serious side. Some phases of the subjects we touched during the year were: The Study of Courts, during which we visited the eourt house to see how a trial vas carried on; and the Study of Deeds, when we went to the deeds and mortgages room and looked up the deeds of special cases we knew of, one of which X'zls the deed to East High School. Altogether, the club has been very successful, considering that it is so young. W'e hope to drop 111 some t1111e 111 the lulure and hear of 1t us one oi the foremost clubs of East High. LYDA B.
