P. H. S. Girls' Glee Club MONO the musical organizations in Piqua High School, is the Girls' Glee Club, composed of fourteen members besides a director and pianist. The first idea of a Glee Club for the girls originated after a similar organization had been formed by the boys. It was thought that if the boys could have such a club, the girls could do likewise, so a meeting was called for all who were interested in the work. A great many of the girls responded, and an election of officers was held, but owing to some misunderstanding the organization was not perfected, and it seemed for a time that there would not be a Girls' Glee Club. However, the enthusiasm of the girls had been aroused and they could not think of giving up their plang so after a consultation with the faculty another meeting for organization was called. A constitution was adopted, officers elected, and then a short rehearsal was held. Mr. Waterman, the Manual Training teacher, is the director while Miss Butterfield, the English teacher, is pianist. Marion Miles '12 was elected president, Frances Graef, '12 vice president: and Emma Buchanan, '11, secretary and treasurer. We made our first public appearance Friday afternoon, March thirty- Hrst, before the members of the faculty, students and visitors to the school. Our next appearance was Saturday afternoon, April twenty-ninth, when we sang for a meeting of the girls at the Tabernacle. We Seniors hope that the club will be a permanent organization in the school, and wish it success in its future work. THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB. FIRST SOPRANO MARION MILES ...... . ....

IQUA HIGH SCHOOL was the scene of great festivity on Friday evening May 19, when the teachers and pupils gave an informal reception to the parents. The object of the reception was to enable teachers and parents to become more fully acquainted with each other, and to show the people of Piqua what kind of work the pupils are doing. The guests included the parents of the High School pupils, the mem- bers of the Board of Education, the teachers in the schools, and the ministers of the city. From early in the evening until a late hour the teachers, pupils, and guests mingled together and thoroughly enjoyed the music, the decora- tions, and the work displayed by different departments. The guests were received down stairs by Superintendent Dietrich, Princi- pal Ellabarger, Miss McKinney, and Mr. Musselman. They were then shown through the different departments where the other High School teachers were waiting to welcome them. The rooms and halls were decorated with flags, school and college pen- nants, and the High School colors, red and blue. In the Assembly room long streamers of these pennants were stretched from corner to corner and several immense wall pennants decorated the front and side of the room. Large clusters of the season's flowers were in evidence everywhere, making old P. H. S. look quite gay. In the Assembly room, a musical program was given. Pupils from the German classes sang a number of solos in German, and the High School orchestra played throughout the evening. The visitors were greatly interested by the work on display in the Manual Training department. There were about a dozen library tables, several book cases, and a great many other small pieces. One boy has made enough chair, and several small tables and boxes. Some of the students were at work in the lathe room, and there was also a display of mechanical drawings made in this department. In the Science department the boys had set a wireless telegraphic in- strument and were operating it during the evening. Other electrical in- struments were exhibited by the pupils, and a stereoptican was also used. In the Commercial room the visitors had an opportunity of seeing some- thing of the business training given the High School students. In this room, there was, also, a display of the work done by the classes in Domestic Art. Across the hall in the Domestic Science room refreshments of cake and -L ,i V 32 'TL punch were served. This room was much visited during the evening, es- pecially by the boys. At the close of the reception the visitors left feeling that they had not only become better acquainted with the teachers but that they had learned something new about the school, while teachers and pupils were happy be- cause their first effort to entertain had met with so hearty a response on the part of the parents. The Faculty-Senior Base Ball Game N Saturday May 20th, the members of the faculty and the boys of the Senior class met at the Athletic field for a base ball game. V Some people might not have called it base ball, but as it was so ad- vertised and an admission fee charged, we shall let it pass under that name. Most of the pupils wanted to see the teachers play ball, and the teachers played ball, too, much to the sorrow of the Seniors, for when the game was over, the score stood 16 to'13 in favor of the Faculty. It would take a long while to tell all the great plays of the game. Per- haps the most sensational was Trig Emmert's three bagger with the bases full, when Trig reached third hir. Garwood sat on him. Supt. Dietrich's pitching proved that he had played the game before. Since Mr. Hargreaves is an ex-cricket player, some one suggested that he should be classed as a uringerf' 'The Faculty did have one ringer . anyway, Mr. Gano, As he had the habit of taking his time to get to the bat, Dankworth hit him with a pitched ball: this made it hard to get Mr. Gano near the plate the next time. Nothing much can be said about the gate receipts except that they were a boost in the right direction. The line up for the game was as follows: Faculty DlETRIf'H .... .... MUssELMAN .
