THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club comprised of the students enrolled in the French Classes has not been very active this year. However, a play was presented before the assembly April first entitled Les Femmes Parlent Trop -in other words, VVomen Talk Too Much. 'When one sees the clever one act comedy played, the tables are quite turned, for man, a helpless creature, finds that a woman may talk and yet she is an essential in the home both for his comfort and happiness of mind. The play was coached by Miss Svea Adol- phson. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Soon after the beginning of the see-ond semester the High School Orchestra was organized. The orchestra was composed of eighteen pieces. Regular practice was held on Thursdays, from four to five o'elock. It made its first appearance on February 14th, at the Junior Play.
