Daniel Webster Club DANIEL WEBSTER, one of the first societies organized in the High School, failed to finish the year and disbanded early this spring because of poor attendance and the failure of many to appear on the programs. Daniel Webster met early in the year at a banquet where the new members were initiated by the old. The officers were: President, Her- bert Tschudy; Vice President, Bradford Drake; Secretary, Delbert Zilmer; Treasurer, Edward liitz. During the first part of the year there was much work in debating, talks, and later in monologues and novelties. After each meeting there was Parliamentary Practice. As the semester drew to an end interest slacked and it was difficult to arrange a program in which the members would appear. Miss Wheelock, who was the sponsor of the club during the past year, worked to keep the club up to standard by giving many suggestions for programs and aiding the members in getting their topics and material for debates. At the beginning of the second semester new officers were elected. The President was Karl Trukenbrod; Vice President, Robert Stuart; Secretary, James Creutz, Treasurer, Walter Share; Sergeant-at-arms, John Creutz. After a few meetings interest was so poor and attendance the same that it was deemed inadvisable to allow the club to keep on. No officers were elected for next year as it is probable that the club organization will undergo a change in order to limit the members to those who are willing to work.

Besides these there were special features including an excellent lecture on Agriculture by Mr. Steltzer, a radio talk and exhibit by John Creutz, a chalk talk by Mil-ton Zurfluh, and an illustrated lecture on electricity presented by Mr. Gluesing. Besides the regular lectures there were two or three short talks on recent scientific developments given by different members of the club. There were thirty-three members and the attendance was very satisfactory. The officers were: President, Lawrence Courtney; Secre- tary and Treasurer, Bradford Drake. The club met on Thursday night at the Physics room of the High School.

Although it was started at the beginning of this year and is a new type of organization for Monroe High School girls, it has succeeded in fu’filling its purpose of creating a greater interest among girls for physical activities and personal hyg'ene. Miss Roese is responsible for starting the society and has acted as sponsor for the girls. She has accompanied the girls on hikes and lias kept up interest in the work. All girls in the Junior and Senior High Schools are eligible for membership in the G. A. A. A system ha; been worked out whereby points are awarded for hiking, attendance at school, and meeting other requirements. When any girl earns 500 points she is given a white sweater with a red “M” on it. Two hundred and fifty of these points must be earned by hiking and the rest in other ways. A special award is given at the end of each year to the girl having the highest number of points. The G. A. A. has hiked to Juda in a group twice and individual members have taken other hikes. A successful party was held early in the year. A picnic, wiener roast, and roller skating parties have been held during the year. Meetings are held in the Main Room after school on Wednesday of every other week. They begin with business, after which a program is held. Several yells have been written by G. A. A. members and given at the meetings. Officers for the first semester were: Presi- dent, Evelyn Gorham; Vice President, Gladys Oslerbind; Secretary, Helen Ruehle; Treasurer, Grace. Holcomb; Recording Secretary of Senior High, Beatrice Lamholey; of the Junior High. Marion Stuart. Officers for the second semester were: Presi- dent, Gladys O.sterbind; Vice President, France: Moritz; Secretary, Mae McGinlev; Treasurer, Mary Decoster, Evelyn McQuillan; Recording Secretary of Senior High, Florence Chambers; of Junior High, Janet Benkert.

The Dramatic Club DRAMATIC1 CLUB has been one of the most successful organizations in the school during the past year. 11 is composed entirely of girls whose average is 87) or above. The membership is restricted to thirty girls. It is organized to promote interest in, and the study of, drama and literature. To give members an opportunity to give readings and to demonstrate their ability in singing and public speaking. dramatics is stressed. They also gain ex-j erience in these things. Parliamentary rule is not neglected. Miss Wellers has been the sponsor of the society for the past few years. She has given valuable suggestions for programs and in arranging the work for the year. Perhaps Miss Wellers’ best work was in the coaching of the speakers in the Declamatory Contest in which Monroe entered Catherine Woodman, who won first at Albany, and at the district contest at Platteville. At the meetings of the society a business meeting preceded the program which was arranged by a committee for that purpose. Many varied programs were given which were very interest- ing and entertaining. After the program Parliamentary Practice followed. At the first of the year a dinner was served to the old and new members. The new members were then initiated. When the work got under way there were talks, debates, and short plays. Officers who served the first semester were: President, Theodora Thompson; Vice President, Gladys Osterbind; Secretary, Millicent Marsh; Treasurer, Elizabeth Germann; Historian, Helen Kundert; Reporter, Doris Messmer; Sergeant-at-arms, Helen Kuehle. Officers for the second semester were elected February 18, 1926.
