This year the enrollment totaled more than one hundred and thirty. Under the excellent supervision of Mrs. McGrath many of the boys have succeeded in becoming good public speakers. Those who were interested in improving their speech met once each week in room 340. Members took part in radio program forums, and contest. Through experience many stu- dents brought pride to the Green and the Gold by entering in ditferent competitions such as the Red lfeather Speaking Contest. and the Hearst Oratory Contest. Although the public speaking program has been limited because of the unfortunate sick- ness of Mrs. McGrath, this year still rates as one of the most active years of public speak- ing that we have had. XVe feel that this article wouldn't be com- plete if We didn't thank Mr. Alyward for the invaluable advice and assistance in holding the fort when Mrs. McGrath was absent dur- ing the earlier part of the year. i ll'l f !

1 The school orchestra, although not quite so large as expected, completed a year of experi- ence and pleasure under the able direction of Mr. Rowland Young. Consisting of two saxophones, two clarinets, four trumpets, a 0 trombone, piano and drum, the orchestra made great progress. lt seems that too many people have the wrong idea of a school orchestra. Many consider it as a unit that plays boring symphony music. This, l am happy to say, is a wrong concep- tion. The boys were limited to two performances that included Class Day, and the day of all days, graduation. The orchestra deeply im- pressed the parents, faculty, and the juniors and seniors present. As l stated before despite the lack of performances the boys received a great deal of experience by rehearsing every Monday morning throughout the entire year. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Young for his instruction and for the fine manner in which he brought us along in the field of music. Next year the orchestra hopes to enlarge. 5 i 2 3 if 4 Nu 'X

The Physics Club, as it has been in the past, was formed for those students desiring to take the College Board in this subject. The phases to be covered in this Held are the Atomieal, Electrical and Mechanical. Each . will be dealt with so completely that we shall be well prepared for the College Boards. Physics not being the easiest subject to do well in, will require much time: but ir will be worth the while if we get into the college that we choose. The Physics Review has a two-fold purpose: one, as mentioned above, all for College Boards, two, to enable those boys who intend taking it in college to have that much more of an advantage over those students who are not fortunate enough to have a club of this nature. This year the club is under the direction of Mr. Kendrick, one of Memorial's able faculty, who with his patience and knowledge of the subject as- sures us of an adequate preparation. Officers of the club are as follows: president, james Diamondg vice-president, Alan Aronsong secretary, Fred Radall.
