THE COMRADE I1 Q' Lfrjearh in this nrrihnrri That examinations are hard. Wfalter Gould of the Latin Class has been recently elected secretary of the Providence Amateur Baseball League. Katherine G. McCarthy of the Bookkeeping Class will sail for Ire- land on .Iune 25th. She will visit her parents there and will later take a journey through the most famous spots of the Emerald Isle. She will return to this city in September. The Comrade extends the wish that Katherine will have a bon voyage' and that her trip will be both in- structive as well as pleasant. Anna Allstrom of the Bookkeep- ing Class has recently accepted il position as bookkeeper with the Ideal Leather Goods Company. It is rumored that three members of the C. H. R. G. will go XYest this summer, whether to teach or not Q.: yet to be decided on. The fever of Hgoing abroad seems to have taken possession of the students, for four young women of the school will go to Sweden in May and will spend the summer there. They will visit their parents and will also be present at the Olympic games which are to be held in Stockholm this summer. The four tourists are Anna Carlson, Em- ma Anderson, I-Ielga Swanson and Albertina Seagren. Two of these will return to school in the fall, and The Comrade will expect to hear of their trip in some future issue. The students who are to debate on the last night on The Land Taxf' are often seen on the corri- dors discussing some new point. This is the first time in the history of the school th at the members of the fair sex have taken an interest in debating, but then, it is leapl year. The lineup of the teams is as fol- lows: Afihrmative-Caroline Miller, captain: Katharine Coyle, Eugenie Kern. Negative--Carl Iefts, cap- tain Q John Dunn, Thomas Coyle. It is not yet known whether there will be a decision rendered or not, but it is rumored that judges will be present on this occasion. Great interest is centered in the Alumni Medal and each group in the corridor is suggesting the pos- sible winner of the medal. But you can never tell who the lucky one will be, until the evening of April 4th. The class pins of the IQI2 class are very ornate and artistic. The Seniors feel very proud of their pins and the only fear they have is that they will lose them before April 4th, The center of interest during ex- aminations. The blackboard in the main corridor. The Class in Deportment will give an exhibition of the work they have been doing Curing the past year on graduating night. The couise has proved very attractive to the young women of the school and proves the fact the course was what was needed here. The class may give a fancy dance at the annual Easter reception and dancing party. Great speculation is going on in regard to the choice of Hoor director and assistant Hoor director for the Easter dance. It is seldom that the students take an interest in this matter, but this year it seems that the old traditions in regard to leap year should be carried out, and this accounts for the interest in who is going to be floor director? A great diversion among the members of the Editorial Board seems to be having their pictures

THE COMRADE I3 taken. They evidently enjoy it. since great hilarity and joking is the aftermath of sitting for their pic- tures. But maybe there is another reason. The Easter Tuesday Assembly of the P. E. H. S. Association is one that brings together all the students of the school, together with the teachers and alumni. No doubt this event will be the success it has al- ways been in the past. There is no reason why it should not be, for the Social Committee are very active and already great enthusiasm is evi- denced in this social event. lt de- volves upon every student of the school to attend this dancing party, which will be held in Lily Academy on Easter Tuesday, April 9th, This will be the last opportunity of meet- ing classmates until next October, except, of course, in the case of indi- viduals. Therefore, the local Editor would like to meet those students in Lily Academy whom she has met every night in the corridors of the P. E. H. S. Mr. Michael F. Coyne, '08, the first President of the Providence Evening High School Alumni, and the present Treasurer of that Asso- ciation, will present the Alumni Medal on graduation night, to the student of the school having the best all round record for general ex- cellence. The Comrade will then be in the hands of its readers and takes this opportunity of congratulating the winner of the medal. The diplomas will be presented this year by the chairman of the Evening School Committee, james R. Cannon, Esq. A quartet composed of Margaret Deuso, Rosalie Ross, Mr. McManus and another member of the school, will render a selection graduation night. The students of the Class in De- portment, under the direction of Miss Mollie Gormley, will give an exhibition drill on the evening of April 4th. The class has done splen- did work this year and the drill, no doubt, will be very attractive and entertaining. Great surprises are in store for everyone, both students and teach- ers, on graduation night, if rumors which are heard prove true. The Class in Experimental Phy- sics, under the instruction of Mr. XYilliam I. Brown, enjoyed a de- monstration of many interesting microscopic specimens during a re- cent study of the microscope. Mr. Brown has been making a special study of rabies and his prepared slides of recent cases here in Provi- dence were closely observed by the members of the class. Among the students who will try the college entrance examinations this fall are Frank Fish, George Cumerford and George M. VVhite. The Easter dance is going to be the most successful event on the social calendar of the P. E. H. S. Af! Therefore, every student and teacher in the school should make an effort to be present on that occa- sion. --K. E. C. NAMES SUBMITTED FOR THE ALUMNI MEDAL.
