Srivnrr Qlluh Three years ago the Science Club was organized. It consisted of forty-seven members. The members eligible for this club must be students of botany, biology, chemistry, physics, or general science. Last year's Science Club was a very successful one, eighty-one mem- bers being enrolled at the first meeting. The roll was divided into four sections, and at each meeting a section, in its turn, responded to the roll-call with a brief topic of scientific interest. This year fifty members were enrolled in the Science Club at the first meeting, which was held on November third. The Club agreed to do away with last year's custom of asking for scientific quotations in answer to roll call. The Club meets once a month, and short talks of recent discoveries in science are given by various members, and motion pictures are shown sometimes. Some very interesting topics are discussed such as: The Man of the Forest, What Makes the Glow Worm Glow? Germ Laden Money. At the meeting of February 9, a series of chemistry experiments was carried out to try and interest students in chemistry. The Science Club is of benefit to the members of the science classes in various ways. It helps to keep the st!udent interested in science, pro- motes social activities and gives the members an opportunity to become accustomed to speaking before an audience freely and without em- barrassment.

GLEE CLUB Last September Miss Gardner chose a group of thirty-eight girls from the High School chorus, and organized them into what is known as the Girls' Glee Club. In previous years, before Miss Gardner be- came Instructor of Music in Petoskey Schools, the Glee Club was open to all girls from the high school who wished to joing under the present conditions the Glee Club consists of girls who are talented in singing special parte. The Glee Club not only furnishes an opportunity for the girls to improve their voices and receive further instruction in music, but it gives them social opportunities too. For years the Glee Club has been a means of entertainment for all occasions at the High School, such as the May Festival, and Com- mencement. Not only have they sung at the High School but it is not at all unusualfor them to be asked to sing two or three times around Petoskey. This year the Glee Club contributed several numbers at each of the following places: Clarion at a get-together meeting of the farmers and business men of Petoskey and Clarion, at the Emmet County Infirmary, the Christian Church, the Rotary Club, Sheridan school, and many other places. The songs which the Glee Club sing are so numerous that they fit any occasion very well. Some of the favorite songs are Mammy Loo, Mother Macree, Sympathy Waltz, and Water Lillies. Every girl who graduates from Petoskey High School feels proud if she is able .to say, I belonged to the Girls' Glee Club. , M. E. S., '22. PAGE FIFTY-THREE
