Council of Thirty Eastern ahoy? - Beloy me for a land lubber if the.Counci1 of Thirty i'sn't here again! And awake? Well, I should sweetly warblel Say, mates, there never was a sounder nor swifter nor steadier ship that sailed the sad seas of in- difference and scorn and open opposition than the good Argosy. Council of Thirty ! Indifference, you ask? Sure! Scorn? You bet! Opposition? Lots of it! All right here at school, too! Sad, eh? I'll say so. And yet, mates, we claim fand rightly, tool, that this same Council of Thirty is the biggest, the liveliest, the most efficient institution of any kind or nature, at Eastern. Bluff? Why, look us up and see for yourself. What have we done? Well, here are a few things! 1. We have existed a year and a half and in that time, have faced certain things on the part of students that would drown a less plucky society. 2. We have developed talent in debating and oratory that might otherwise never have been dis- covered. 3. We have kept Eastern High on the lists of the valley debate and gave Western a jolly trouncing a year ago. 4. We are the biggest 'society of men at Eastern which has ever undertaken the task' of developng the intellectual side of a school of 500 students and we have not fallen down. 5. We have given many social affairs, each of which has been a distinct success, financially and so- cially. We have a full membership at present and an offi- cal staff consisting of: President, Fred W. Hare, vice- president, Lee McCabe, secretary, David Glass, treas- urer, Don McCabe, honorary members Cand by the Way, we owe a lot to theml-Miss Carleton, Miss Huneker, Mr. Carter and Mr. Parker. On April 13, 1917, will occur the second annual Saginaw Valley debate on Government Ownership of Railroads. We have great hopes of winning at least one if not both events. We will debate with Arthur lpage nineteenj '-i2l'11-'WO

'-IZI11'-'FUO l i Juniors The Junior Play, Seven-Twenty-Eight, or Cast- ing the Boomerang, presented at the Washington theatre, March 24, was a great success. The success of it was not due alone to the cast but to the untiring efforts of the Whole class and of Miss Huneker who coached the cast. The class sold the tickets, attended to the business of staging, prepared the program, and made it possible for a certain few of their classmates to cap the climax. Those in the cast were: Priscilla Loud, as Flossy3 Richard Bromfield, as Mr. Cor- lissg Margaret Mason, .as Mrs, Bargissf' Guy Wedthoff, as Mr. Bargiss 5 Fritz Mertens, as Mr. Hollyhockg Ruth Chapman as Mrs. Hollyhockg Ralph Hudson, as Tambo1-ini g Bernice Kilburn, as Jessie g Julian Wisnewski, as Gasleighg Herbert Koth, as the Postman, and Harold Slocum, as Jobbins. The yellow chrysanthemum, used with a blue rib- bon, was chosen as the class flower at a recent meeting. The Juniors, furthermore are planning another party. Look forward to its success. I I fophomores We Sophomores held a delightful sleigh ride out to the home' of Miss Katherine Boes on the evening of the twenty-fourth of February. Like all our former parties, it was a complete success. Assembling at the home of Miss Lenore Rutzen, we left at eight o'clock. Due to the thaw, which had made sleighing impossible, the trip was made in a motor- truck. We arrived at the home of Miss Boes at about nine o'clock where refreshments were served, and the evening spent most enjoyably. The return trip was made about twelve so that we arrived at our homes in the wee hours of the-er-morning. The Sophomores are unobtrusive but not dead: lpage eighteenl

Lottie Shearer, as chairman of the day, presented her program in a very pleasing manner, papers being read by Sarah Koch, Bernice Hawkins and Harry Yeomans. Mr. Parker gave a short talk on the Louvre. On Friday, February 23rd a meeting of the club was held with Sarah Koch as chairman. French music was the topic of the day. Papers on the subject were read by Guy Wedthoff, Gertrude Saunders and Lottie Shearer. The club has decided on a very pretty design for pins, and they will be sent for as soon as is possible. The club planned to have a sleighride, but on ac- count of the sudden change in the weather, this idea has been given up. It is thought that a fancy dress party will be given in the very near future. The Amazones First of all, the banquet, yes, it was held on Feb- ruary 5, at the Y. W. C. A., which was artistically dec- orated for the occasion in rose and silver, the club s colors. Following the dinner, Agnes Diehl acted as toast- mistress of a very delightful program.
