B eulah Rhodes For weeks before the play was given you would hear the gentle voices of the different members in every nook and corner rehearsing their parts in a most dramatic tone of voice. Almost every night they would bring Professor out in the blustery weather. This took place for a period of some five weeks, and great expectations were aroused, and not only the school but loyal citizens of the town sat up and took notice to such extent that when the night arrived the largest house up to that time greeted the play troupe. lt was December 22d and the comedy drama BRAC presented by the High School Theatrical Troupe was produced i11 what pioved to be a most interesting andpleasing performance. The curtair arose at 8:30 p. m. The principal feature of the first act was Brac eating ubandanas. The second act was considered the best of the entire play. Two old maids were considered the best of the act. The peculiar cos- tumes of the two old maids caused a loud smile to pass over thr audience. Clarisa Avery's exclamation of Oh, Ransom! I shall pre- spire! I know I shall! brought down the house. In the third act the way in which Anna Blake exclaimed, I have tested your love too long. and turned John Perkins down wart received with great applause. Laurose Bailey as leading lady and Roy Frashier as leading man delivered their parts exceptionally well. lt was said by thosf present that BRAC ls one of the best plays ever given in Elgin.

PHYSICAL CULTURE CLUB The Physical Cluture Club includes all that all girls have eve' attempted along athletic lines. Perhaps the work is 11ot considered so very athletical atlter all, by the boys, especially by those who always would peak in the door on physical torture night to watcl the fun. And even though some of us were dreadfully stupid in catching on to the new steps we have gained a. great deal oi' recre- ation and pleasure from our meetings. The club was organized during the first of the school year with Miss Greene as director. lt was decided to xneet cn lllondays and :Rv ,,y52?5x t N Ae ll F jot: ,W 9 T 6 fy it sf f 1 w'N - , or rf, Elf .

With the coming of spring it was thought that it would he more pleasant if we could have out door work, so efforts are being made to form a tennis club to play tennis through the last few weeks ol' school and during vacation. The mos-t interesting features of the club work are the fancy marching and the Indian Club swinging, but both will take mor' practice than a year to make perfect. However, our :girls are prof gressing rapidly and the work has helped them greatly. -N 'X AFTER

I THE B. B. CLUB President-Hazel Smith. Secretary- Nona Austin. Vice-President-Clare Pepper. Treasurer-Lillian Morris. Sergant-at-arms-Laurose Bailey. The B. B. Club is the mystery of the Elgin High School. Ono clear October evening the curiosity of several of the high school l:oys was aroused by seeing a band of girls, in High School caps, inarchill single nie down the street with suppressed giggles. On inquiring the only answer they could gain as to the meaning oi such a procession was, UO. they are only the B. B's, which ol' course enlightened them greatly. If they could only have seen thee? same girls a few minutes later as they lounged in the middle of the fioor around a huge hish of pop corn at Hazel SmDth's, and heard the deep f??J secrets they might have been wiser. Perhaps somf people remember the dignified names with which, at the Valentin party, they attempted to explain the meaning of B. B. Here are some of the shining examples: Beautiful Bunch, Boy Bouncers, Busy Bees, Bed 'Bugs, Baby Buntings, Broncho Busters, Bon Ton Beauties, Blessed Bunch, Babbling Babies, Bouncing Beauties, Black Beau- ties. The club membe1's alone know how to appreciate these noble attempts. In the middle of January a Stag party was given at the home of Lillian Morris in honor of the .lunior girls, with Miss Greene as chaperone. The program consisted of wading thzough snow deep enough to allow one to believe she was- about 'to discover the North Pole. Bushels of fun oyster soup, roasted peanuts, and the next day a bunch of rather pale looking girls. . During the winter the members met at their different 'ies to transact business. The following are some oi the rules made an this meeting: J-Always march in designated order. 2-Always wear hair braided down back and high school caps. 3-Never under any consideration forget the pass word. 4- Pay membership fee of S per month. 5-Always address club members under club name under pen- alty of lc. 6-Don't tell any club secrets, to Juniors under death penalty The big public event of the club was the Valentine Party at Larouse Bailey's at which the .lunion Class, ll. H. Faculty, and sev- eral town boys were present. In the proposal stunt the boys proved that they were game and Elgin girls need never fear that they will have to wait for Leap Year to win a heart and home. Only a few weeks more and the B. B's, will be but a me iory to all. but the five who compose it. To them it will always bring a smile. followed by a wish that they may some day have another meeting: -to laugh over the fun they have had and ask one another, O don'i you remember'-There was Jennie who wanted a diamond ring, and Kitty. such a funny curious little thing. Then dear Poppy so tall and slender. And gentle Peggy so kind and tender. And Babe al ways the Last of our bunch. Now listen, can't you hear her saj' Oh Gee, kids, ain't it fun to be a B. B.'?
