CRIMSON and BLUE THE GIRLS’ ENGLISH CLUB TGTT School clubs and the like were well on llieir way when the senior girls came together on October the twentieth to form the Girls’ English Club of 1921. With Miss Brown as their very able directress, the girls proceeded at the first mee ing to elect the officers for the year. Esther Wehner was elected presi¬ dent ; Jessie Porter, vice-president: Eva Witham. secretary; and May Halpersohn. treasurer. Grace Lus- combe was appointed to write reports of each meeting for the Clarion. Miss Brown, at the first meeting, told the girls what had been accomp¬ lished in past years and put forth the object of the club as follows: To promote literary interest and give the girls an opportunity to oecomt acquainted with the works of well- known authors, whose acquaintance would probably not otherwise be made. The girls, decided to follow a defi¬ nite program to be drawn up by a standing committee consisting of the following: Anna Fleming. Helen Robinson, and Dorothy Holmes. The program thus drawn up and accepted by the members of the club consist¬ ed of the reading of short stories, novels, plays, and poetry by Ameri¬ can authors. A committee of three girls had charge of each meeting and so took part at some meeting. The girls were full of enthusiasm and all set out to make the year 1921 the best in the history of the club. Everything proceeding smoo.hly and satisfactorily when Miss Brown suddenly departed for the “wild and wooly West.” Although her absence was keenly felt by the g’rls,. they de¬ termined to do ' their best to make a good showing with which to surprise her on her return. A drive was started in February to raise money to aid the starving chil¬ dren of Europe. This- was at the suggestion of Eva Witham, arid was carried out under the successful lea¬ dership of Beatrice Heinz. Boxes were placed in all the rooms and contributions solicited. Chester Whiting very kindly offered to secure the services of Dr. Plummer to give a stereopticon lecture at the High School on the “Boxing and Wrestling of Ancient Times Compared with the Present Time.” I)r. Plummer was kind enough to give his services free of charge and inasmuch as admission was charged, a considerable amount of money was made. This amount added to the larger sum contributed by the pupils and teachers totalled one hundred and sixty dollars. The drive over, the girls gave all their attention to the presentation of a play, “The Real Thing” by John Kendrick Bangs, which they decided to give in honor of the return of Miss Brown. The cast included the following: Avis Sehreeder. Grace Otis. Helen Coleman. Jes.sie Porter. Eulalie Warren. Marion Keen. Grac-v Luseombe. May Halpersohn, Anna Fleming. Esther Isaacson, and Bo trice Heinz. The play was given at on open meeting upon Miss Brown ' s return, to which the teachers and mothers were invited. Refreshments were served and a pleasant time was en¬ joyed by all present. Up to this time the club had had no constitution and a comm tt.ee was therefore appointed to formulae one A constitution was, drawn up by Jes¬ sie Porter and Beatrice Heinz and presented to the club.
