The purpose of this organization was to train its members in the art of Parliamentary usage, and the member- ship was limited at first to Juniors and Seniors, but as pupils from other classes showed interest in it, it was decided that anyone having three credits should belong. There were twelve members when first organized, but by the end of the year the membership had increased to sixteen. The Club this year held its first meeting Deccmbnr 12th, with a membership of thirty. The old constitution was accepted, but an addition was made to the purpose, to the effect that the members should be developed along musical lines. Interest in the club has spread and large crowds assembled to hear the various debates. One of the special features of the season was a debate with the business men in which the school was fortunate enough to win. The music also has added to the interest and is considered by all a wise addition. M BENT COMPANY CONCERT A very delightful concert was given in the Assembly Hall at the High School Feb' ruary 13th. by the Bent Musical Company. The proceeds from the concert were put into the school piano fund, and the concert was given to show the good points of the new piano. R, HAMLET READING Mr. T. H. Guiles, of the University of Illinois. gave a very entertaining reading at the school house, the evening of March lSth, on Hamlet. The High School Choral Club furnished the music.

The class started at 5:30 p. m. and were accompanied by the Junior class and faculty. The picnic ground selected was the Xvinkler Grove, about two miles and a half southwest of town. Picnic supper was served immediately upon the arrival at the groundsg then a bonfire was made by which marshmallows were roasted. Following this the real fun took place, in which all kinds of moonlight games were played. The picnic broke up about ten o'clock, after a very enjoyable evening.
