FIRST CONVENTION The fall convention of the Pro Merito Society was held at Massachusetts State College with Amherst High School as host. Four representatives of the Senior Pro Merito Society of our high school attended with Mr. Thayer and Miss Alvord. Harding Jenkins, the presiding officer, opened the meeting at 11 A. M. Then a representative of each school gave a general account of the activities in his society. The new Junior Pro Merito Society was discussed to some extent, also. The meeting adjourned after the singing of the Pro Merito song. A delicious luncheon was served at Draper Hall. Here the group was ad- dressed by Dean Machmer, professor at State College. The soccer game between the State College team and Williams concluded the program. Late afternoon found the E. H. S. members back in Easthampton after an interesting day. SECOND CONVENTION Representatives of sixteen public high schools and private schools attended this convention at Agawam on May 9, 1936. After a short registration meeting, the regular business session got under way. Here reports of Pro Merito activities in the various schools were given. Meanwhile, the Junior Pro Merito meeting was held. Organization was discussed, and Marion Kuhn was elected a member of an organization com- mittee. After a luncheon in the school cafeteria, the gathering listened to a talk by Dr. Stryker of A. I. C. on the advantages of college. The second speaker was Rev. Wallace Anderson, who gave a very interesting speech on present day af- fairs and education. Next, a delightful one-act play was presented by the Aga- wam High School Dramatic club. Dancing completed the day's program. Everyone returned, tired but contented, after the end of a perfect day. The Pro Merito Society wishes to thank Mr. Thayer and Miss Alvord for their kindness in providing transportation to the two conventions. LYCEUM CLUB The club was divided into four departments: dramatic, literary, debating, and journalism. One of the departments would have charge of each meeting. When the literary department had charge, readings of well-known writers were given. Members belonging to the journalism department wrote editorials and hum- orous articles to be put on the bulletin board. This work was kept up for some time. Mr. Casey gave a talk on journalism, as he used to work for a newspaper company at one time. His talk was very interesting. All this time the members of the debating department were getting their debate ready, which they put on convincingly. twenty-six I
