II I C3 II T' O R Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club held its first meeting for 1926-1927 on September 30. Harry Feeney was elected president and Mary Morrissey, secretary. The club has shown itself to be a worth while organization during the three years of its existence. The first year the club presented The Charm School , which proved to the public that Haverstraw High School students have great dramatic ability. In 1926, it presented Seventeen , which proved equally successful. This year the club presented 'fMartha-By- The-Day , which in the opinion of a great many people surpassed the two former plays. All the members of the cast were admirable, and Dorothy Reilly, in her radiant interpretation of Martha , gave a really notable performance. The club has also been active in other fields besides dramatics. In 1926, it gave a dance which proved to be the hit of the season. That year it also voted to appropriate annually one hundred dollars, as an award to the student who distinguishes himself in school work and in some other Held of academic life, such as dramatics, athletics,and good fellowship. Last year this prize was presented to Muriel Davies, who was one of the characters in The Charm School , and who was also assistant editor of The Red and White. The prize will be awarded this year, the name ofthe winner being presented on Commence- ment night. ' ,Q-J r -, wqzefff' if , tMwgJiz?V I. ,gy 1. qvgcgig- 'ev OS: : 1341

That was the General Organization, a body which is made up oi all the high school students and which is established to further the students' social and physical activities. The G. O. owes its beginning to Superintendent john T. Kaemmerlen and to Miss Beatrice Purdy, who came to Haverstraw High School from Camden, New jersey. The General Organization is made up of the student body and the Student Council. The Student Council consists of the president, the vice-president, the secretary and the treasurer of the student body. In addition to these officers, there are the presidents and the represent- atives of the high school and commercial classes and the captains of the basketball and base- ball teams. The Student Council is divided into three standing committees, the school pro- perty committee, the publicity committee and the social committee. The school property committee looks after the condition of the school rooms and of the grounds outside. It also looks after the proper' keeping of school property.
