The first year there was only one society but it was so large that the second year two were formed-the Arcadia for boys and the Eutopian for girls. The girls have shown a great deal of interest in their society and have received much help and experience in public speaking from the pro- grams. The society has one hundred and five members. A meeting is held once every two weeks and once a semester an open house meeting is held when everyone may come. THE ARCADIA SOCIETY. . - Officers.

John Whiting The boys' literary society although not as large as the Eutopian, has had plenty of pep and has given some very interesting programs. They meet twice a month and have open meeting once a semester just as the Eutopian Society. DECLAMATORY. For the last two years interest in 'the declamatory work has greatly increased. Each year a member of the school is sent to compete in the suqidistrict contest and if he wins in this, tothe district and t en to the state contest. So many of our students have tried out for this that for the past two years two elimination contests and one final contest have been nrcessary to choose the one to represent us in the sub-district, contest. Last year Lawrence Hagie received first place in the Dramatic class but that department had the required num- ber of contestants so Ruth Hobbs who received first place I

. .,,v,,5l as 20 THE M. P. II. S. TATTLER in the Humorous class was sent. She won in the sub-district but did not receive first place in the district contest. How- ever she had a splendid piece and gave it well, so we were proud of her just the same. Ruth is a good speaker and has a pleasing manner so she always makes a hit This year Ruth again was chosen to represent the school at the sub- district contest at Bloomfield. GLEE CLUB. r t Our Freshman year Miss Roberts was the Director of the Glee Club and under her supervision the school had a splendid organization. For the past three years Miss Celine Barger has had charge of the Glee Club and has been very successful in training the girls. She is a lady of exceptional ability and the school has been very fortunate in having her a member of the faculty. Miss Barger has put a great deal of enthusiasm into her work and has made it one of the most popular organizations in the school. Last year the school had a Boys' Glee Club which was also splendid. The two glee clubs gave an operetta, The Windmills of Holland, which was a great success. Miss Barger gave a great deal of time and strength to this and too much credit cannot be given her. The principal parts were taken by members of our class and we were justly proud of them. The Glee Club is an important and instructive part of our High School and we hope it will continue to be a popular and well organized department. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet.

M ary Parker Treasurer ............................................................ Frances Crane Miriam Bartlett Anna Hunt Ruth Hobbs. The girls of our High Schbol have long felt the need of some organization in which they could get together and become better friends, but not until this year has such an organization been formed. They have shown great interest in the meetings and because of their enthusiasm we are sure the Y. W. C. A. is going to be a success. They hold their meetings every two Weeks and usually some town per- son is asked to speak. They have had some splendid talks this year. '
