Just A Friend When things look dark and dreary. And your heart feels like a stone. Your throat feels sorta choky And you seem so all alone. Have you a friend to come along And chase your blues away? We all have our little off days When everything goes wrong. Nobody understands us And we sing a lonesome song. Have you someone who’s always There to love and understand? I is always a friend true and faithful Who's ready to forgive and forget, To cheer you up and make you smile And ashamed to fuss and fret. Now, if you've a friend so genuine You've a treasure, precious and rare. A Senior Girl. Page Nineteen

GLEE CLUB In thei early part of September the Girls' Glee Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Waters. Practices and meetings were held the eighth period every Wednesday and Friday. The following officers were elected: President, Margaret Lewis, Secre- tary-Treasurer, Clara Karpowicz. The club was active and participated in many events. A program was given in Assembly the second week in January to provide for the school enter- tainment. The most important work of the Club was the Operetta, “Ghost of Lollypop Bay.” Both the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs took part in the program. April 10th at the East St. Louis Teachers’ meeting, the Glee Clubs of the Southwestern Division of Illinois gave a program. Eight representatives from the two Glee Clubs were sent from Madison High School. DRAMATIC CLUB One of the new clubs which was organized this year was the Dramatic and Debating Club, sponsored by Miss Robinson and Mr. Seamon. The presiding officers were Fern Peebles, president: Bruce Hill, vice-presi- dent: Elizabeth Lee, secretary and treasurer. This club was organized for the purpose of fostering dramatics and cre- ating a desire to improve oral expression. During the year the Club has sponsored several entertainments in the auditorium. They have studied the fundamental principles of public speak- ing. Very interesting and instructive programs were given at their regular meetings. The debating teams were formed but very little accomplished. How- ever, they expect to do better next year. Page Twenty
