Ioyce Cole is the president and Mr. Morrison is the instructor. PRIZE SPEAKING Prize Speaking was held this year as it has been in previous years. The Prize Speaking finals took place at the high school auditorium on February 13th. The speakers were chosen at a preliminary contest held lanuary 8th and 9th, This con- test, although open to the whole school, was compulsory for the Iuniors. The coaches were: Miss Nelson, Mrs. Adams, and Mrs. Mains. The speakers were: Elon Bradford, Ieannette Plummer, Pauline Storer, Elizabeth Tees, Hazel Austin, Flor- ence Grant, and Ioyce Cole. The prizes were given to the following speakers: Hazel Austin-lst prize, gold medalg Ioyce Cole - 2nd prize, silver medal, and Florence -Grant - 3rd prize, bronze medal. FRENCH CLUB The French Club was instructed by a com- petent leader, Mrs. Mains. During club meetings all talking and reading was done in French, which helped the members to increase their knowledge of this subject. This club not only furnished amusement but enabled a student to converse in French. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club this year was under the supervision of Mrs. Adams, head of the Com- mercial Department. The club was com- posed of girls only, who met every Tuesday afternoon. We made the club more interesting by writing short biographies of each composer whose music we sang. We also wrote verses to be set to music.
