The work of the club has been some- what broken up by the loss of its faculty advisor, Miss Ethel Austin, who resigned her position as head of the dramatic work of the hi h school. Nevertheless with the aid ofgMiss Lois Wagner the active members have worked together and made this a suc- cessful year. The club had many social activities. Although the motive of the Thalian Club is primarily the promotion of dramatics and public speaking, yet much social life has been enjoyed. A Halloween party and banquet were held in the school gymnasium. The annual picnic and banquet are soon to be held and it is anticipated that they will be as successful as they were last year. -SARAH GIBBONS, '27.
