G I. E E C I. U B 5 Q Although the fall is never the best singing season, jane Bentzen, fall president, rounded up her choristers and had them in voice for their appearance at graduation. Their earlier activities were mainly non-musical. Her Hallowe'en Husband, a humorous skit, was presented by the Glee Club at the Lux Forum program on Octo- ber 29. On the evening of the same day the Girls' Glee Club entertained the Lick orchestra at a Hallowe,en party. Appropriate noise was made. Since the Lux Glee Club now meets in the seventh period instead of at the noon hour, much more than usual has been accomplished this term. A musical skit, coached by Miss Sinclair, was supplied as a background for the spring fashion show, which has taken the place of the annual pageant. Barbara Cronburg, jane Bentzen, Betty Girling, Barbara Beardsley, Nelly Moncheur, June Elkington, and Evelyn Loge- mann were the cast. Officers for the spring term were Edith Alpers, Barbara Jarvis, and June Elkington. Although they made no public appearances this term, the members of the Lick Glee Club have yodeled faithfully fand sometimes hilariously according to Mr. Brittonj at their Monday and Tuesday meetings. The main event on their club calendar was the St. Patrick's Day party held with the Girls' Glee Club on March ll. GLEE GLEE

FV? FORUM FORUM v FURUIII CLUBS Q With the hilarious combination of MacDonald as villain and Jack Miche as the serious brother, the joint Lick and Lux Forum Clubs gave the melodrama, Curse You jack Dalton, as a part of Old Timers, Day. Other members of the cast were: Ralph Peters as Jack Dalton fthe heroj, Evelyn Godat as Bertha Blair fthe heroinej, Florence Egan as Eloise Dalton, and Barbara Cronburg as Mrs. Dalton, and Byrle Stafford as Anna Alvarado. Perhaps as attractive to the audience as the Forum Day play was the theme of the afternoon. The boys dressed up as old timers with beards, jeans, bandanas, guns, and all other scenery appropriate to the theme. The girls came as blushing beauties of the 90's, with hoop skirts and bustles true to the period. For the fall term's celebration, Navy Day was chosen as the theme. Two short plays were given on this occasion: Who Says Can't? starring jack Miche, Betty Girling, Ralph Peters, and Mary Jane Beckesg and It Sometimes Happens, with Rob Roy Cyr and Evelyn Godat. Other plays and skits given jointly throughout the past year were: A Major Operation, At the Ferry, Robert Burns, and Napoleon's Farewell to his Grand- mother. To raise money to buy a rug for the Lux Stage, the Lux Forum Club gave two plays during the past year: The Rehearsal and The Knave of Hearts. In January the Lux Club gave a short skit, School Days, for the entertainment of the new- comers.

CHESS TIIE CIIESS 'CLUB . Although organized only at the beginning of this term, the Lick Wilmerding Chess Club is already one of the most active clubs in the school. There are about twenty members at present, and it is hoped that more students will become interested in this fascinating game and join. The club meets every Thursday during the noon hour, with Bob Johnson presiding. Besides pushing the pawns around among them- selves, several of the older students are teaching some of the freshmen the art of playing chess. They have also formed a team for playing in interscholastic competi- tion. It was with this team that they beat the Polytechnic team earlier in the term. The team consists of the following boys: First board .... . Hafer Second board . . . . Rhodes Third board . . Johnson Fourth board . . Anderson Fifth board .... . Comendant LUX CHMERH CLUB Q This last year has seen the Lux Camera Club grow from a small organization to a comparatively active one. In the fall the club took its first hike across the Golden Gate Bridge, and at this time a monthly contest for snapshots was inaugurated. The officers for the term were Bettijean Miller, Mary Bernasconi, and Emma Ratto. In the spring term the club was again headed by Bettijean Miller as president. Betty Tallmadge was vice-president, and Doretta Monsees, secretary. A permanent record for this term was started by Marguerite Grossen. A hike to Muir Woods was planned, and the girls entered snapshots in a contest sponsored by the Photo Art Monthly magazine. As a conclusion to its activities the Lux Camera Club sponsored a contest to obtain snaps for the journal. CAMERA
