HIGH LIGHTS G5U'e Club aitb (©rcljestra During the past year, the Glee Club and Orchestra have been active in school programs. The Orchestra, with a membership of ten people, has played at High School Assemblies throughout the year. On April 30th, the Orchestra made its first public appearance at the presentation of the play “ALL ABOARD” which was given for the benefit of the Alumnae Association. The group will take part in the spring program on June 4. The Glee Club, which has fifty-five members, includes students from Grades 8-12. Both the Glee Club and Orchestra represented the school at the annual League Music Festival at Chestertown on May 14 and will appear at the graduation exer- cises. Clubs Jefuspaper (Club This year, under the direction of Miss Cahancy and Mr. Griffin we organized a Newspaper Club. One of the main functions of our Club was to publish a monthly newspaper, the High Lights. Many changes and improvements were made in the paper throughout the year. The Club met regularly on Fridays to discuss the High Lights and occasionally during these meetings we had a special program. Another function of the News Club was the publishing of the Senior annual. Last, but not least, we assisted Miss White in collecting the weekly news items for the local papers. Harsity Club The Varsity Club consists of students of the Hadlev-Lakc Luzerne High School who have earned at least one letter in any athletic sport. Through this Club they played basketball in the Adirondack League. Boys’ and girls’ teams were both organized and each team’s expenses were paid from the gate receipts. The teams were both handicapped from lack of material and a practice court but the boys came through with two victories in eight league games and the girls, playing non-league basketball, won two out of the eight games played. Hobby Club The Girls’ Hobby Club has been a great success this year under the direction of Mr. Castle. The membership was so large that it was necessary to divide the Club into two groups. At the first meeting the following were elected: President, Gladvs White; secretary and treasurer, Geneva White. We have worked on copper, German silver, wood, leather and other materials. Some of the projects we have made are: book-ends, ash trays, bracelets, tic racks, scissors holders, key cases, bill folds, purses and hot dish mats. Although the Club has been a big success this year, we hope to make it better next. Fifteei

HIGH LIGHTS (Eantera (Chib The Camera Club, under the supervision of Mr. Castle, offered the boys and girls a wonderful opportunity to increase their knowledge of amateur photography. During the school year we were taught to print and develop our own pictures. At the meetings Mr. Castle explained the value of good pictures, the principal parts of the camera, the proper method of filling a camera and the taking of silhouettes. Next year we expect to continue the progress of the Club and with the assist- ance of new equipment, we can do more and better work. JUc (Crrrlr Jfrmtcats Le Cerclc Francais is a new organization in school this year formed for the purpose of French conversation. Meetings have been conducted in French and much of the time has been given to singing French songs and playing French games. The Club presented a French play at the Christmas Assembly. The members feel at the end of the year that a good start has been made toward realizing the purpose of the Club. JK tutting (Club Early this year a Knitting Club was formed by a group of girls from Junior and Senior High School. Under the direction of Mrs. Hall the members learned to knit and crochet. Among the projects worked on were knitted suits, sweaters, pocket-books and edgings for linens. Near the beginning of the year the Seniors sold magazines to help raise money for the Senior Class treasury to be used throughout the year for expenses. Just before Easter the Seniors held a Prom at the Town Hall in Hadley. The Board of Education, the Faculty, and the Post-graduates were invited and everyone enjoyed themselves. Shortly after the Prom, the Senior play was produced. The following people were in the cast: Donald Perkins, Frank Beattie, John Dawes, Dorothv Dean. M arion Hall, Don Fowler. This year, for the first time, the Seniors are planning to hold class night exer- cises in connection with their graduation. They hope to make it a great success. The Senior Class wishes to express its appreciation to our School Board for tile- privilege given them of visiting Washington and New York during Easter vacation. During the four days at Washington the Seniors visited manv places of interest. On our return trip we stopped at New York and were delighted with the experi- ences we had. The bus tour we were on included a visit to the Aquarium, Harlem, Chinatown, Central Park and Riverside Drive, which were all very interesting. We also made a tour of the National Broadcasting studios. These are only a few of the many places we visited. We enjoyed ourselves very much but we were all glad to be home once more. Sixlern
