working on embroidered articles for them¬ selves. The club carried on its year’s work with Marjorie Dyke, as president, and Lena Boyd, as secretary. Mr. Radio Club Among the talks given by members of the Radio Club this vear were “Hints on the Con¬ struction of Radio Frequency” by Thomas Chittenden, “CoilsandCondensers,”by George Royer, “Crystal Set in Loose Coupler,” by Walter Tschumi, “Difficult Forms of Radio” by Edgar Atkinson and “Super-Heterodyne’’ by Roydon Whaley. The officers of this club for the year were: president, Richard Booth; vice president, Harold Schwarz; secretary, Arland Wells; faculty adviser, Mr. Wagner. Miss Art Club To promote an interest in art in our every¬ day life, to show art may be applied to our lives, and to encourage artistic talent are the purposes of the Art Club. The club this year was divided into two groups: one, under the supervision of Miss Gibson, studied and ap¬ plied methods of sketching; the other, under Mrs. Roberts, dividec’ its interest between the making of raffia and reed articles and work¬ ing on embroidered articles. The officers for the year were: Walter Featherstun, president; Lucetta Randall, vice president; secretary and treasurer, Nora Smith. Mr. Biology Club The Biology Club was added as a new member to our list in February. The club, or¬ ganized under the supervision of Miss Fisher, elected the following officers for the year: president, Sherman Horn; vice-president, Lloyd Atterholt; secretary, Roma Allison; as¬ sistant secretary, Dorothy Arndt. The club has two divisions, the bird and flower groups. They cooperate to furnish the programs. Letters have been sent by the members to other states and countries, inquiring about the signs of spring shown there. Spring hikes have been planned by the members to add interest and enthusiasm as well as to give real instruction in natnre study. Miss Hygiene Club The Hygiene Club this year was sponsored by Mrs. Bake, who says that there has been remarkable cooperation among its members. The idea which prompted the founding of this club was that school boys and girls can never learn too much about hygiene. With this idea in mind the programs have been largely talks on the care and functions of the organs of the human body. The officers were; president, Frances Patterson; vice president, Betty Davis; secretary, Marie Guerney. Freshman Clubs Since there were so many Freshman Clubs this year, and their programs were so varied, it seems best to print only the names of the officers in each room. In Room 102 there were two clubs. Officers of the 9B’s were: president, Marian Walsh, secretary, Florence Jones; of theQA’s: president, Marian Schaeffer; secretary, Mae Trout. In Room 121 the offi¬ cers were: president. Mabel Carl; secretary, Alice Gracey; in Room 120: president, Hugh Parson ; seceretary, Alfred Sladky; in Room 103: president, Elizabeth Hoffman; secretary, Mildred Jones; in Room 119: president. Ear¬ nest Pierce; secretary, Arthur Vance; in Room 106: president, James Savoia; secretary, Charles Schenk. —Myrtle Porter, Rose Crano’24 The Master Some meet it smiling, others with fear. Some meet it bravely, some with a tear. To some it comes like a thief in the night. Silently, cautiously, banishing light. Oft as the Queen bee, when summer is nigh. From the bud takes the honey and leaves it to die. Some it relieves of anguish and pain. To all it comes once but never again; No mortal has seen it but all hear its call, The summons of death, the master of all. Fame breasts not its power. Beauty loses her lure. Wealth shrinks in oblivion, naught can en¬ dure This power supreme we all feel its breath. The call of the Master, the summons of Death. Parker A. Scott,’25 Forty-seven

Ten of our students have received scholarship letters; Donald Bishop, Myrtle Porter, Helene Bendell, Roma Allison, Elizabeth Armstrong and John Tullio have received letters all four years. Two of the buys have received the Varsity N for track and one for football. Luther Hos- field has his name engraved on tne track cup, as he was high-point man in the 1924 Inter¬ class track meet. Thelma Waite has served the school faith¬ fully all four years by her singing in the glee club and playing for the orchestra. Basil Likens, Elizabeth Armstrong, and Ivan Satow have brought honor to the school by winning first prizes in essay contests, thus bringing a beautiful flag and a number of books to the school. Our girls have supported Censowe, particularly Mrytle Porter, Edna Schrank, Esther Johnston, Thelma Waite, and Martha Witmer, and our boys have taken active part in Hi-Y. Altogether we feel that we have truly backed the school and that we have an envi¬ able record to our credit. ' Donald Bishop,’24 Why Boys Leave School The problem of keeping the young men of Akron from leaving our high schools before graduation is of great importance. To rem¬ edy this evil we put forth the following sug¬ gestions; 1. Elevators might be ' installed in all build¬ ings to avoid the necessity of climbing long flights of stairs. 2. Merry-go-rounds could be put in the gymnasiums so that boys could get the effect of moving without doing so. 3. Edison could invent a device to turn the pages of books so that pupils would not have to lift their hands. 4. Taxies could be hired to bring the poor tired boys to school in the mornings and take them home at nights. 5. Half-hour rest oeriods might be set a.side at various times during the day. 6. Moving pictures might be used instead of books to avoid the neoessiiy of carrying such a load around. 7. Conversation should be allowed at all times to afford amusement during tedious hours of study and recitation. 8. Teachers should be engaged merely to suggest novel means of entertainment. These suggestions, with others that might be derived from them, are given with the idea of keeping young men in high schools until they are entitled to graduate, or until they die of old age. —Clifford Springston,’25 Forty-nine
