O ' Neill, .Tr, Dwight McMahon Walter Morris Nachon Keljikian Lawrence Cahill •leman J. Joel, Jr. HIS, the twenty-eighth year of the E. H. S. Lyceum, has been a very profitable one. At the beginning of the year, we started off by sending challenges, to several schools for debates, and only one was ac¬ cepted and that by the Boston Pub¬ lic Latin School. The tryouts were held for the team and Dwight McMahon, Albert Mor¬ ris, and Walter Morris were success,- ful. This trio defeated Boston Latin on the evening of January 14, 1921 on the question, Resolved: That Japan¬ ese Immigration to the U. S. should be prohibited. Everett upheld the affirmative and won. Again Everett had a debate. This time with Salem and on the evening of April 1, 1921. Frank Golden, Ise- dore Rosenthal, and Coleman Joel, Jr., defeated Salem on the negative of the. question, Resolved: That the policy of the open shop is preferable to that of the closed shop. This is the first year for some time that the debaters have received let¬ ters. The letter with proper insignia was presented to Dwight McMahon, Albert Morris, Walter Morris, Frank Golden, Isedore Rosenthal, and Cole¬ man Joel, Jr. Chester Hill®. -EHS- GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Soon after school opened, tryouts were held. Alice O’Leary, Helen Rich, Isabella Walker, Helen Cole¬ man, Eleanor Salvi, Marie Vaughn and Eleanor Neil were chosen to fill the vacancies left by last year’s graduates. Jeanie Livingstone was k was selected for pianist, and Althea Brissette was asked to join us in the play. We were first asked to sing at an entertainment at the Congregational church, and immediately afterwards began rehearsing for our play, “The Transformation of Jeanne,” which was written by Lois Large and Es¬ ther Wehner. Miss Marshall soon informed us that we were to sing at the deb ite on Friday even ng, January 14, at which occasion our Dinahs wer e allowed fo come to school. With “Dolly” Driscoll as leading lady, we were all please;1 to learn that Theodore von Rosenvinge had accepted the position as leading man. These were assisted by Arthur Thacher, Eric Anderson, Frank Gol¬ den, Oscar Terrlo, Frank Lewis, and Frederick Johnson. We presented the play on Wednes¬ day evening, February 16, and on Monday evening, February 23. It was given again for the Armenian Relief Fund. Then came the Prize Speaking Contest and on Friday evening, April 1, we sang at the second debate. Soon after this, we sang at the Teachers’ Club meeting, at which all had a most enjoyable time. -EHS- PHILOMATHS N November 11, 1929, Miss Wallace called a group of the senior boys together and explained to them the necessity of the Philo¬ maths, a club organized to improve and entertain the mind in mathemat¬ ics. At this meeting the following officers were elected: Kenneth Pres¬ cott, president; Elmer Kerwin, vice- president ; Harold Foley, clerk; Hen¬ ning Hanson, treasurer; and Dwight McMahon, librarian. The meetings have proved to be very interesting because of such speakers as Fullerton Webster, who gave a talk on tli e “Precis ' on of Measurements,” and John Alcott, as a student of art, who exhibited some of liis, skill and showed the use of geometry in art. There was a meet¬ ing at which Mr. Prescott as super¬ visor taught the members the brainy game of chess. There were also many other talks given by the mem¬ bers, too numerous, to mention. The credit for the success of the Philomaths belongs to Miss Wall ice, and as a group of the junior boys have attended one of the meetings, it is, certain that Miss Wallace will make a greater success of this club next year.
