DRAMATICS IN PLACE of the regular three-act play, which is usually given as the semi-annual program, two one-act plays and a Spanish dance number were presented this year. A total of 40 students participated in the “Gala Night” program. This is a much larger cast than has ever presented a three-act play; thus the dramatics teachers have had a good chance to find material for future dramatic acts, as most of the participants were lower classmen. The two plays given were “The Kelly Kid” and “Thursday Evening.” Those participating in them were Charles Rosenthal, Phyllis Parr, Mary Romero, Eleanor Lyons, Margaret Keenan, Phillip Goettel, James Brien, Alberta Hill, Alden Pratt, Flsine Beck, and La Roma Zundel. Those participating in the “Spanish Fiesta” were Theresa Ghisio, Joe Michelis, Mary Jean Lowell, Mary Bleuel, Fay Marcyes, Hleen White, Rose Bartolo, Mary Roveda, Norma Case, Frances Wilson, Dorothy Viglione, Muriel Dugan, Phyllis Tandy, Annie Ausez, Annie Muren, Bill Lane, Elwood Frisvold, Charles Reynolds, Lloyd Pearson, Norman Robinson, Stanley Mayer, George Covell, Candida Zanzi, Alice Morris, Ruth Van Marter, Melville Garoutte, General Pearson, Donald Crane, and Arthur Bergman. The plays were under the direction of Mrs. Nellie Pehrson, and the dancing number was directed | by Miss Grace Timmons. Approximately $ $200 was taken in at the performance from the 800 people that attended. Mr. David Gray had charge of the ticket sales and ushers. This was the only program given by the school as a whole during the semester. Several plays were presented by organizations, but were not public.

Pe OLOGY CLUB THE PHYSIOLOGY CLUB, which was organized August 30, 1928, was founded to increase knowledge of the health through the study of individual and community health problems. A series of lectures on various phases of Infant Care, which was the subject of the study this term, were given by Mrs. Aileen Bronsdon, Miss Helen Parker of the faculty, and Dr. Rosa Powell, local physician. In October, the girls visited the Out-Patient Department of the University of California Hospital in San Francisco. The social function of the semester was a tea in November. The members of the Physiology Club are: Lucy Piasente, Leila McLennan, LaVerne Kingsley, Alice McCrez agh, Thelma Fracisco, Doris Stephens, Rose Bar- ick, Eleanor Tackley, Lois Sargent, Dorothy Ciapponi,.Anna May Connors, Mae Ostrander, Harriet Pedrotti, Anna Bellegarde, Lois Berry, and Virginia Hull. HOSPITAL GIRLS A VALUABLE ASSET to any school—this definition easily describes our group ot Hospital Girls. Hospital Girls have full charge of the hospital room, study room, and ofhce. It is their duty to see that any girl coming into the hospital room has the proper treatment, and also to see that order is maintained in the study room. In order to do this properly, a girl must be reliable, responsible, and a good manager. | this term were Susan Crane, Juanita Harringay, Dorothy Bergen, Eleanor Brensel, Helen McBurney, Frances eoniet, Agnes Davis, Ruth Barrett, Phyllis Tandy, Winifred Renfree, Phyllis Parr, Margaret Conn, Helen Oehne, Rose Bartolo, Muriel Dugan, Helen Vaslie, ee Tet esa Bernardi. The girls who were chosen to do this work for J OURNALISM . THE TASK this term of publishing the Hi-Nus was left up to seven boys and eight girls who formed the journalism class. Under the direction of the adviser, Miss Norine Buchanan, and the editor, David Newsom, sixteen issues of the Hi-Nus and the supplement were published. The latter, although partly financed by the senior class, was brought out by the journalism class in the place of a year book. This was the first time in a year that supplement sales reached their quota. Kenneth Hitch, as business manager, gathered the ads for the paper and acted as make-up editor of the supplement. Kenneth also wrote the Interviewer column every week and contributed many editorials and news items. Herbert Palmberg worked as circulation manager, and Catherine Healy han- dled the exchanges. August Armanasco was responsible for the neat make-up of the Hi-Nus each week. Alyce Burkett, James Havey, Amy Schwarz, Margaret Jenkins, Frances Fowler, Ruth Robinson, and Coral Mohondro were energetic reporters and contributed many news items and stories. Frances also edited the Alumni column, and Ruth, the School Notes department. Lloyd Pearson, in the capacity of Boys’ Sports Editor, filled up his page with the latest sport dope each week. Stanley Meyer contributed the humor for the paper this semester. While the journalism staff did the writing and editing of the paper, the print- ing was done in the school print shop under the direction of Mr. John Doney. Mr.
