I Miss Daly two very fine operettas have been given, Bulbul and L'The Nautical Knot. In athletics, too, Parker has done remarkably well during the few years of its existence. In 1914 our heavyweight basketball team won the city championship. In 1916 and 1918, the Parker lightweight football teams were city champions, and during three other years we have had teams which fell short of such a glory by the loss of only one or two games. In 1918 our baseball team lost the city champion- ship by one game. We have always had good soccer teams, and it was largely a case of hard luck that we failed to win first place in the city in 1918. The success of our athletics has been due to efficient coaching, hard work on the part of the players, and the loyal support of the student body. Parker publications have been among the best in the city. Our Parker Weeklyf' and its successor, the 4'Parker Daily, were shining examples of what high school journals can be at their best. A Parker Annual has been published by the senior class of the school every year beginning with 1914, and has always been successful. Ever since military training was established in the Chicago High Schools in the spring of 1917, Parker has had a well drilled and disciplined cadet Corps, which, with the advent of compulsory training in September, 1918, assumed the proportions of a full regiment, the activities of which are related in another article of this Annual In the matter of organizations Parker need bow to no high school of similar size and circumstances in the city. A few of our institutions, such as the Boys' Club, the Camera Club, the Architectural Club, the Golf Club, and the Aero Club, have come and gone. But at the present time there is a remarkable set of organ- izations in a lively and prosperous state, including the Girls' Club, organized in 19135 the Civic Industrial Club, started in the fall of 1914 by the' Chicago Associ- ation of Commerce, the Glee Club, founded at the same time, the orchestra, one of Parker's oldest institutions, the band, organized in September, 1916, the Undertak- ers, established in October, 1916, the Senior Dramatic Club, organized anew each year by the graduating classg the Hi-Y Club, established in September, 19183 the French Club, organized at the same time, the Commissioned Officers' Club, founded in the fall of 19183 and the Chess Club, Parker's newest organization, dating only from February, 1919. Surely Parker may well be proud of all these institutions, which extend to students of every sort of talent and taste a splendid opportunity to join one or more organizations consisting of congenial people and undertaking projects with which they are in sympathy. There is no need for anyone who desires to make friends and to engage in school activities to be left out. Such has been the history of the Parker High School,-a remarkable story of steady development from a very small beginning to what we believe Parker to be today,-the best high school in Chicago.
