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. The President was Elizabeth Germann; Vice President, Kathryn Mau-erman; Secretary, Iteva Michael; Treasurer, Emma .Meyers; Historian, Helen Kundert; Reporter, Elizabeth Stauffacher; Sergeant-at-arms, Mary Soseman.

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.

The Band is an organization of 27 boys of Junior and Senior High Schools. For the size of Monroe High School, the Band is one of the best in the State. Albert Neuschwander is director and deserves praise for the results he has showed from the material which has been available. The Band was organized in 1923 and every year since that time they have played better and have maintained the membership of over 30. Each member whose attendance and work is satisfactory receives one-half credit for the year toward the sixteen credits necessary for graduation. The band has played at football games, basketball games, mass meetings, and pep meetings. It’s most important appearance was with the aid of part of the town band at the Armory during the Basketball tournament. The band earns money for music and other expenditures by having the refreshment concession during the tournament as well as the printing and selling of score book programs for the event. By this means money enough is raised to support the band for tin next school year. The officers for 1925-26 who guided the band in its work and who edited the score books are: President, Harold Schneider; Secretary ami Treasurer, Edward Ritz. Officers for next year are: Louis Zimmerman, President; and Russel Meyers, Secretary and Treasurer.
