CRCI1CS1RA MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS AT UAVERTCRD The musical organizations, under the able leadership of Miss Gertrude Ferron, consist of the Girls' Glee Club, the Orchestra, and the Boys' Glee Club. The Girls’ Glee Club includes one hundred girls. The officers are: President, Frances McGee; Vice-President, Jean MacDonald; Librarian, Helen Palmer; Secretary’, Evelyn Angemann. This year the club has performed, upon request at a P. T. A. meeting, a P. T. A. convention, the Alumni Day program, and a dental exhibition. The orchestra is composed of thirty-six pieces, and for the first time in the school's history, a girl is concertmaster. The orchestra is always well received and is often called upon to entertain at conventions, P. T. A. meetings, women's clubs, and churches. Forty-five boys constitute the Boys' Glee Club, which always presents a delight- ful program such as only a male chorus can present. It is led by one of the students, a fact which makes it even more interesting. The officers are: President, George Rosengarten; Vice-President, Franklin Dunn; and Librarian, Austin Clark. On May 25, 1929, these organizations cooperated in presenting an evening of music. The Girls’ Glee Club rendered Pan on a Summer Night,” a cantata of unusual charm. An appreciative audience encouraged Haverford's musicians, and it is the desire of Miss Ferron that such a program may be given frequently in the future. The proceeds from such entertainments are used to purchase instruments which are loaned to the students for use in the orchestra. Much credit is due Miss Ferron for the excellent way in which she is handling these organizations and for the advancement of music and musicians throughout Haverford Township.

SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 STUDENT GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS The Student Government Departments which are Traffic, Finance, Social, San' itation and Property, were organized in the early part of the semester and did some good work under the able guidance of their sponsors and their heads. The Traffic Department was under the guidance of Mr. Coppedge, as faculty chief, and Donald Eister, as student head. The duties of this department are to take charge of the lieutenants and marshals, who direct traffic so that all congestion in the halls may be eliminated, and who also supervise the lunchroom and the halls. This department did some excellent work by directing the guests who attended the con- vention of the Southeastern District Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers, which was held at Haverford in November. The Finance Department had a very successful quarter under the authority of Miss Rohrer and the leadership of Charles Weidemann. The duties of this depart- ment are the distribution and sale of tickets, and charge of banking, which is done every Tuesday. In October tickets for the Senior Play were distributed to the home rooms, and a drive was made to enforce more regular banking. The Social Department had as sponsor, Miss Cope, Miss Smith substituting for Miss Cope during her illness. The head of the department was Francis McGee. The chairman has charge of the social hours. The first social hour of the year, a Hallowe'en affair, was held October 30, and was a huge success. The purpose of these social hours is to bring the pupils and the teachers more closely together, and to bring about a spirit of companionship and friendship. The Social Department also gave its services at the Parent-Teachers Association Convention by greeting the guests. The Sanitation Department, of which Mr. Hughes was sponsor, and Erwin Davis, head, worked hard in striving to make the school a neater and cleaner place, and succeeded very well in this. The duties of this department are the inspection of the lunchroom, the locker rooms, the girls' and boys' washrooms, and the home rooms. Because of the efforts of this department there has been a marked improvement in the lunchroom, and dishes are no longer left around on the tables. The head of the Property Committee was Charles Miller, and the sponsor was Mr. Howarth. This department has charge of the care of books and of lost articles. The lost articles are placed in the treasure chest, and in addition to this, every Mon- day a list of the articles in the chest is placed on the bulletin board at each entrance. Meetings of the departments are held every other Wednesday during activity period to discuss the various duties of each department. The head of each department is a member of the Student Council.
