THE EASTERNER 15 GIRL'S CLUBS FOUR SQUARE MINUTE GIRLS A picnic! A dance! Oh, so, many things have taken place this month in the Four-Square Minute Girls’ Club. Al- most every Easterner knows about our “Spot Dance ;” knows what a wonderful success it was. Many were there, and I'm sure that those who weren't have heard “all about it. We danced all af- ternoon to excellent music rendered by Miss Burrows, Mr. Dorney and Mr. Fisher. Then when the dance was near- ly over, a spot was selected by Miss Monk and Miss McNutt, and the couple who were on this chosen spot when the music stopped Were given a silyer Eastern pin. Miss Empy and Mr, King were the lucky ones. All during the dance, candy and cake were sold. I’m sure everybody regretted that the afternoon had to end. The Thursday of Easter week Miss Monk took us to Sycamore Island. We had a perfectly wonderful day. Every- body was full of fun and willing to do as the majority wished. We rode as far as Chain Bridge and then walked along the tow path to the Island. As soon as we arrived, we hailed Mr. Johnson, the caretaker. He took us across the river to the Island in a rowboat. Of course everyone was hungry after the morning hike, so our first act was to eat. Besides the lunches which the girls brought, there were delicious “weenies” and marshmallows bought by the Club treas- ury. In the afternoon some of us played baseball, some roamed around the Isl- and, and the rest went out on the river in canoes. We would haye danced, but as the victrola was broken, we had to content ourselves with amusement fur- nished by the various members of the club and by some boys from Central and Tech. Two major numbers on the pro- gram were a boxing bout by two of the young men from Central and a dance by Miss Rubelle Blanton. Some members of the party took delight in establishing a temporary beauty parlor in the club house. Hints were given as to how to fix hair becomingly, how to get a good complexion, and how to dress becoming- ly. I know everyone was sorry when Miss Monk said it was time to depart. At every meeting new plans are sug- gested. The members seem so alert in planning their future amusement that I do not hesitate to say that the club pro- gram will be fully as enjoyable as it has been, if not more so. Ruth L. Smith. NINA FRIENDSHIP CLUB We have had a meeting every Wednes- day with a good attendance. A very suc- cesful tea for the mothers was conducted by the girls of our club at the Y. W. C. A., and every one enjoyed herself. The irls are planing to have a picnic the first aturday im May, and it is hoped that all the girls will attend. The club does much charitable work and has a good time as well. New members are always welcome to join our club. Ella O'Connor. FIDELIS FRIENDSHIP CLUB Fidelis Friendship Club has just elect- ed its officers for the coming year. Violet Empey was re-elected president by a unanimous vote. Catherine Brown, of 10al is vice president, Bernadette Kal- strom of 10a2 is secretary, and Margaret Matthews of 9b4 is treasurer. The club is keeping up its good work. A few days ago, a “Mother's Party” was given at the Y. W. C A. and every- one enjoyed herself immensely. The girls are now making plans for a sup- per to be given on the evening of April 20th.

16 THE SENIOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB The Senior Friendship Club gave its Spring Dance at Terrace Inn, April 10th. Everyone present had a good time, and the club wishes to thank the Nina Club for its support. The club is planning, among other things, a hike, a house party at Camp Winona on the 18th of June, and a party for the new members to be given in the drill hall after school, April 21st. At the last meeting of the Senior Club, it was decided to enforce the regulations by which club members, who are absent from a meeting without a good reason, are fined. The amount of the fine has been decreased to five cents, and those who are absent from three successive meetings without excuse are to be drop- ped from the roll. So come out to the meetings, not only to save a nickel, but to help in the work of the club and get that much more fun out of it. RIFLE NOTES The members of the club have been doing some very encouraging work this year. The older members and the best shots of last year are doing much better shooting than ever before. The new members are steadily gaining in accuracy, and if the present members do not watch out they will be displaced sooner or later. The Inter-High School matches will be held in the near future, probably in May, and we should be able to come out with honors if the team keeps up its present good work. Practice for the out-door matches has been under way for some time at Congress Heights Range. The members have been shooting in THE EASTERNER the Rice Medal Match lately, and the competition is running high. As usual we have the three medals, two donated by Mr. Rice and one by a friend of the school who does not wish his or her name disclosed. These medals may be scen in the trophy case in the hall up to the time they are to be given out. THE MINSTREL SHOW Though any item about the minstrel show of Feb. 19 and 20 may appear to be stale news, the show was such a suc- cessful one in every respect that it shoukl not fail to be recorded. Willard King was admirably fitted to) his role of interlocutor, and his enuncia- tion in the reading of the song “Swanee” was equal to that of Al Jolson himself. The six end-men, Prender, Rice, Furey, Gary, Hooper and Crow, were all kings of humor, and succeeded in putting life into the bewhiskered gags given them. Especially worthy of credit were Furey and Gary, who succeeded in getting con- siderable applause from the house. Gary successfully adapted a Gayety sketch. A vocal solo by Harold King, selections by the Lincoln Park guards and dances were other features of the evening. The min- strel show was followed by a short sketch, “Muff and Jutt,” which drew what lif e it had from its characters and not from its plot. Especially realistic were Lewis Davie and James H. Lee. The show was under the direction of Miss Monk and Miss McNutt, who spent much time and trouble upon it. Mr. Muth arranged and directed it and gaye it an air of professionalism. The show had plenty of pgp and was given before crowded houses both nights.
