The Club intends to become more active socially than it has been in the past. A design in red and gold has been adopted for the Club pin, and the pins themselves will be procured soon. The membership has been increased considerably during the past term, the active members at the present time numbering about twenty. It is expected that the Club will take in many candidates soon. All indi- cations point to a new term just as successful as the last. Music Notes The High School Orchestra is about to close a successful year.
