President Hilda Armour .................. Vice President Elizabeth Nienke .... Secretary-Treasurer This year has been our first year of real Glee Club work, and although we have made no public appearance as yet, we are working to furnish part of the Commencement program. Next year promises to be the beginning of a new era of music in the Elsinore High School, and we hope we may then give some musical entertainment. A study has been made of three part music in form of folk songs and classi- cal choruses, including Oh, Italia, Be- loved, Safe in His Father's Arms and Fairy Waltz. In connection with the Glee Club work a class has been formed, under Miss Long's able super- vision, to meet once a week to study the rudiments of music and the lives of some of the most noted composers. One of the big events of the year was the Glee Club Masquerade Party given at the Lake Elsinore Grill on March 7, for the entire school. It is planned to make the Masquerade Party an annual event. Too much cannot be said of the splen- did work done by Miss Long and Mrs. Johnson, and We feel ourselves, indeed, fortunate to have secured such able in- structors. E. M. N. '20. .Unninr 58221 Glrnwa Every member of the Student Body became a member of the Junior Red Cross, and the High School received the charter issued by A. N. Wheelock. The committee chosen were: Gertrude Bloomfield, advisory Elizabeth Nienke, president, LaVerne Pearson, secretary: Ellis Fees, treasurer, and Carroll Wil- liams. In the old clothing drive this chap- ter was very successful. The drive was simplified by dividing the town into sec- tions, with two members of the com- mittee each having a section. With the aid of the Student Body the com- mittee was able to make a very satis- factory report. Elsinore's quota of sewing and knitting was filled before the given time. Elsinore Union High School is glad to have such a good record, and has en- joyed doing the Junior Red Cross work. LAVERNE PEARSON.

The Elzinnrun Enmwtir Svrivnrv COOKING Not least among the many deep sci- ences studied at E. U. H. S. is Domestic Science. It is studied by a group of girls who still believe in the old fash- ioned art of cooking, who may put it to actual use later. The teachers, Miss Herdman and later Mrs. Johnson, were very thorough, and a careful and systematic study was made of food values. A great deal of practical laboratory work was done by the girls. All the different branches of cooking were studied carefully in turn and a great many recipes were tried with good suc- cess. About the middle of the year a great idea was thought of. It was decided by the class to serve one hot dish a week to the students, during the winter months at cost. Later when it grew warmer, something cool was prepared. In this way a useful knowledge of the cost of various foods was gained by the girls. One day a luncheon was planned in honor of the school trustees. All the Work was to be done and everything prepared by the girls. The guests pres- ent were: Mr. and Mrs. Rush, Mr. and Mrs. Gyger, Mr. and Mrs. Shank. Mr. and Mrs. Merrifield, Mr. and Mrs. Sher- man, Professor Thompson and his wife. They were seated at two beautifully decorated tables in a pretty room up- stairs, overlooking the lake. The color scheme of the High School, gold and white, was carried out in the menu and decorations, California poppies being used in profusion. There they were served with a delicious meal by the girls of the class. The Domestic Science Class have en- joyed their work a great deal and have learned a great many things, thanks to the excellent teaching of those in charge of the department. FLORENCE TAYLOR-'22, SEWING Dear friend: I want to tell you about our sewing department this year. Be- fore the flu vacation we made a beau- tiful satin Service Flag for our school. Our teacher, Miss Margaret Herdman, assisted us in the work. There are twenty-nine blue stars and one of gold on the flag. The stars were all em- broidered on by hand. The flag mea- sures about three feet by four and one- half feet. We were sorry to lose Miss Herdman, who resigned during the vacation. Mrs. Frary M. Johnson took up the work in January and now we cannot think of sewing without Mrs. Johnson. We have done one hundred per cent of the work assigned to us by the Ju- nior Red Cross, each girl in the class having made a garment for the Belgian babies. The knitting was assigned to the other scholars. We feel that we have accomplished a large amount of work this year considering the time lost during our enforced vacation. We girls all enjoy our work and I, am -sure it has done us ever so much good. The number of garments completed by the girls has amounted to about twenty- five muslin garments, fifteen dresses and four shirt-waists, aside from the Red Cross work. Beatrice Clarke's work in darning is e-specially noteworthy. Those of us who expect to continue the work next year are hoping sincerely that Mrs. Johnson will be with us again, for she has made the work very interesting to us. There are not many of us, but we are important, for if it were not for the Sewing Department, who could mend the school flag when it is torn by its constant waving in the breeze? ESTHER KIEFER-'21,
