SCULLEN The purpose of organizing the Arena Club was to give the boys of the High School a literary training. To accomplish this, the programs of the meetings have consisted of debates, recitations, prepared speeches, extemporaneous speeches, etc. Last fall the Club conducted a mock trial, which proved to be very amusing, as well as instructive. At hrst debate took the leading part in each program, but they became rather monotonous and greater emphasis is now placed upon current events and reports. Besides literary work, thetclub has managed most of the boys athletics, and is the sole supporter of track work. Last spring the Hypatian Club challenged the Arena Club to a declamation contest. Practically all the boys in the club took part in the tryout for this event. The following boys were chosen to compete with the girls: Willie Permian, Herbert Thom, and Ejner Hentze. The Hypatian was represented by Thelma Hughs, Katie Strome, and Mable Gadke. This contest was held on the evening of june 2, 1911. The discision was given in favor of the boys.

Elm 09:12:12 The Octette was organized early this year, and Martel Mickey was elected as President, and Bertha Harpole as Secretary. The Octette has practiced faithfully and has been rewarded with suc- cess. The High School and general public have helped to make it such, and we heartily thank them. I ' We feel certain that we have carried out our aims, which are to encourage singing in the High School, to entertain the public and to impress upon the students the value of the accomplishment of singing. We regret the fact, that we lost one of our best singers When Miss Lois Parks went to the University. Although her place was taken by Margerette Young, who gives promise of being one of our best singers. Half of our number will graduate with the class of 1912, but we hope that the organization will continue as one of the High School enterprises and will always be successful in carrying out its work.
