CLUB HISTORY In the fall of 1928, a group of boys with the help of Mr. Howland, a former high school principal, began to organize the Excelsior Club. This name, meaning onward and upward, is very fitting for this club. In order to maintain that high standard of which the club is noted, strict entrance requirements are enforced. Only those with high ideals, those who have finished their Freshman year with at least four credits, and those who lead in school activities are even mentioned for initia- tion. The purpose of the club is to better the character of its members intellectually, morally, and socially. Our motto, Clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholarship, conforms very well with the purpose of the club. Among the prominent figures in the club is Joe Marg. His sarcastic wit is very entertaining to the members. Secretary Frank Carchedi uses his persuasive, oratorical eloquence with impassioned plea to sway members in any direction. Paul Centofante steps out of his doldrums only when inspired to make a motion for a social feed, and then falls back into his dormancy. Jay Morris's valiant eforts to adjourn are con- stantly frustrated by the Scheig-Carchedi combination of dilatory art. Much of our success is due to the capable leadership of our Presi- dent, E. Primavera and our Sponsor, Mr. Jones. The President's stout heartedness kept the business meetings going on even when they had reached the point of turmoil, and the Sponsor's liberality towards us filled us with a spirit of confidence and independence.

CLUB HISTORY Ten years ago, a class of girls, taking Home Economics under Miss Murbach, organized themselves into a club. For the greater part of this time, they have had their laboratory in the portable-planning menus and serving meals. Upon the adoption of the Six year high school plan, the laboratory was moved into the former manual train- ing room. Five years ago, at the end of the school term, the members of the club sadly bade farewell to Miss Murbach who became the bride of Mr. James Cragg. Miss Porter very capably took her place. At the beginning of this year, the following officers were elected: Ida Torella, President, Mary Miletta, Vice-President, Laura Rapone, Secretary, and Julia Conti, Treasurer. A program committe planned the program for each meeting. The members enjoyed a very delicious Christmas dinner in the laboratory. q In January, the club served noon meals again. O A widow is the luckiest woman in the world, she knows all about men, and all the men who know anything about her are dead. l41l

CLUB HISTORY Four years ago, the present senior girls, under the guidance of their sponsor, Mr. Reed, organized themselves into a club-the Social Dancing Club. They organized for the purpose of instructing the stu- dent body in the art of dancing-thus the name. Their classes of in- struction succeeded very well in dispelling the stiff atmosphere that prevailed at former dances. They later purchased a nickelodeon, Which they have rented to any high school class or organization at a nominal fee. This greatly reduced the expense for music and thus encouraged dances. This year, the club was enlarged by the addition of a select group of junior girls. A tea was held in honor of their induction. Although the club was originally formed for the purpose of teach- ing students how to conduct themselves in the ballroom, the benefits arising from the organization have far outdistanced the earlier motive. It was up to them to set the example of correct conduct at the socials they sponsored. As hostesses, they felt it their responsibility to set their guests at ease. This they did very successfully. So the last dance you had with Jerry was an endu1'ance contest? And how! I had to endure his close embrace, his B.. O. and his tramplihg on my tootsiesf' E I43l
