li Dramatic Club HE record of the Dramatic Club for the term january to June, 1937 under the able direction of President Betty Pease is a worthy one. In February, the L.H.S. Dramatic Club pre- sented the VVashington-Lincoln assembly which gave the members a good chance to display their talents. March was the month of the Senior play, I Will, I VVon't. This comedy was a great success and included in the cast the following Dramatic Club members: Betty Pease, Marjorie Clahn, june Parks, Margaret NVackerle, David Schamu and Victor Tillotson. In May the Dramatic Club sponsored the May Pageant, held in connection with the Spring Exhibit. The girls belonging to the club were candidates for May Queen with Mary King emerging victorious. An extensive pro- gram of skits, songs and readings representing various countries followed the Coronation of the Queen. The Dramatic Club was represented at the Exhibit by the frieze in the speech booth made in the Dramatic Club colors - red, black and gold. This frieze represented various sym- bols of the theatre such as the masque, lyre, open book, pen, drums, etc. It proved a very attractive and instructive addition to the ex- hibit. The Dramatic Club was also represented individually during the term by several of its members. David Schamu ably represented the Senior Class in VVashington when he gave a reading Tommy Stearns Scrubs Up. Jeannette Taylor gave a reading Her First Call at the Butcher's at the Liverpool Chamber of Com- merce Banquet and Victor Tillotson read the Gettysburg Address at the Memorial Day Exercises held in johnson Park. The climax of a year's successful work was the Dramatic Club party and initiation held in April at the home of Miss M. K. Heid, Dramatic Coach. At this time the following persons were initiated into the club: Helen Heid, Kenneth Hogan, Henry Meloling and Jeannette Taylor. It was a gala occasion and everyone partici- pating had a grand time. Due to the efforts of this club and the excellent coaching of Miss Heid, the type of entertain- ment presented in the high school has ceased to be just an amateur performance but instead reflects credit upon the members as well as the club. It is our prediction that this club will go on to bigger and better things in the future. Commercial Club LL things must have a beginning. There- 3:40 to discuss the founding of a Commercial fore, last january a few commercial Club in the high school. The first thing to be students gathered in Mr. Beahan's room at accomplished was the selection of a committee Page Fourteen

At the annual Onondaga County track meet held at Griffin Field, Liverpool placed third with Solvay and Baldwinsville in the first two high scoring positions. Cheerleaders N MANY schools cheerleading is becoming an extra-curricular activity. Cheerleaders have duties just as any of the members of the teams have and we feel that the cheerleaders of L.H.S. have fulfilled their obligations to see that the students cheer so the team will have more pep. The cheerleaders usually go home with hoarse voices but they don't mind because they have helped their team on to victory. Sometimes the cheerleaders get discouraged because their fellow students won't cheer, but they never give up: they keep leading cheers until the crowd cheers with them. The girls that are to receive letters this year are: Margaret Wackerle, Marjorie Glahn, Vera Kentner, Hattie Miller and Elsie Kipp. Out of this group Vera Kentner, a Junior, will be the only veteran left next year, but we hope she will have many new girls to help her cheer the teams onward to victory.

Commercial Club - Confd to draw up a constitution for the club. This committee consisted of: Margaret Ames, Eliza- beth Michaels, and Mary Adams. The constitu- tion received its final form after about two weeks work. At the first meeting of the Commercial Club an election of officers was held and the following received positions for one year: President ....................... Mary Adams Vice-Pres dent .... .... E lizabeth Michaels Secretary ........ ...... M argaret Ames Treasurcr .................... Helen Hounder Faculty Advisor .................. Mr. Beahan The 15 students who attended this first meeting automatically became charter members of the club. To be eligible for membership in this club you must take 1 commercial subject during the year or be a former commercial student. To become a member of the club you must have your name proposed by another club member which will then be voted upon by the club as a whole. The primary purpose of this club is to teach the use and operation of ofhce machines not taught in our regular high school course. So far the members have learned the operation of the mimeograph and adding machine and expect to learn the use of many other machines in the future. The secondary purpose of the club is to en- courage members to enter the annual spring business contest. Villages and towns from three counties send their representatives each year to this business contest and those winning first or second place are eligible to enter the state business contest at Syracuse University each year. Of the 10 people entered in this years business competition 5 of them were members of the club: Helen Hounder, Betty Barret, Sophie Gapski. Betty Michaels and Mary Adams. Three of these people: Betty Michaels, Betty Barrett and Mary Adams won second place as members of the short hand team and therefore went to the state contest. Although not placing in the first S places they were in the upper M of the competition which was very good. With not quite a year to its credit the Com- mercial Club under the supervision of Mr. Bea- han is becoming increasingly useful as its club members gain in experience and follow their club motto Be expert at whatever you do. ournalism Club N THE past year the Journalism Ship has been sailing on, discovering new ideas and and heading for higher goals. As it accomplished things, there were always higher things brought to light for it to head toward. Since the club was formed last November, there has been much more enthusiasm shown toward the school news. This club enabled those who never had a chance to show their writing ability before to do so now and also in this way lessen the work of the staff. The members were all given special duties and certain subjects to cover and as a reward for this they received merits, all based on the way in which their articles were written. When one hundred of these merits were obtained, they received the journalism Club Pin. A few pins were received, other than those of the staff members but the rest are still working and will be able to get thernsoon. All the members have shown excellent co- operation in writing forthe school news in the Liverpool review and we all hope that this good work continues. At a recent meeting a new staff was appointed by the former staff. The members of the staff for the past year will all graduate and the new staff was appointed to carry on the work in the fall. The new staff members are: Editor-in-Chief .................. Mary Adams Managing Editor. . . .... Loretta Duerr Social Editor .... ........ M ary King News Editor .... .... E lizabeth Henes S ports Editor ....................... joe Peta Typing Manager .................. Ellen Keefe Now the time has come for the Journalism Ship to drop its anchor and have a rest until September when school rolls around once more. Page Fifteen
