Newly reorganized, the club had, as the attraction at its first meeting, the initiation of the sophomore members. Two weeks later, those worthy members avenged themselves when they initiated the officers, both juniors and seniors. . The officers, previously elected from the upper classes, are the following: Robert Roche, emperor, Ruth Ahara, empressg Shirley Thorne, scribe secretaryg Diantha Taylor, scribe treasurer. Since there are no dues, money had to be raised. The fall auction of books, food, candy, and miscellaneous goods showed the enthusiasm and generosity of both members and parents. The club was amply rewarded for the time and effort spent as a profit of sixty dollars was realized. Interest at the auction centered around the chicken donated by Scribe Taylor, for which apples and a lucky number were sold. Miss Cormier received the lucky number in the first drawing, but graciously returned the bird. Mrs. Frank Ross took home, not the bacon, but the poultry. The Scholastic and Latin Clubs combined to sponsor a valentine social on February ninth. This also was a financial success, a total of forty-one dollars 'going to the Latin Club and twenty-three dollars to the sister club. The gym was attractively decorated with hearts and cupids, while valentines were distributed during the Grand March. With the treasury thus bulging, the members felt that the time had come to spend some of that money. The result was the Saint Patrick's Day party which was held in the cafeteria, kitchen, and gym. The tables were attractively decorated in green and white. Since the ladies kindly agreed to cook the delicious supper, the members consented to wash the dishes. Afterwards, a program consisting of a little truth and a lot of consequences was held. A pleasant evening ended when the janitor announced Lights Out!'l Plans for our spring banquet and annual May Day breakfast at the Ledge are in the making as this is being written. Social activities are not our only concern. The club has voted to join the Junior Classical League which furthers interest and information in cultural subjects. We believe that ours is the first Chapter organized in the State of Maine and in this we take pride. If this year is any indication of what the future of the Latin Club will hold, we honestly believe the club has been reorganized with great success. Things that we have done but earnest Of the things that we shall do. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR

They were as follows: President Irene Harpe Vice-President Beverly Bronstein Secretary Jack MacDonald Treasurer Viola Theriault It was voted that Royal Attractions be held during the coming year. In addition to this a football banquet was planned in recognition of the splendid work our boys had done. This was held at the close of the football season, with members of of the football team, Home Economics Club, and Student Council attending. The supper was highlighted by the main course which was chicken. Mr. Ryder announced that all who deserved them would receive red letters this year instead of white. Other speeches were given by Mr. Peakes and Mr. Hunt and toasts were made by members of the football team. Afterwards games were played and an enjoyable time was had by all. To the good fortune of all present, a Rotary Club program, featuring the Ostas was being held in the Auditorium that night and all who wished to attend were admitted free of charge. Following this event, most of the Council's time was spent planning for our Teen-Town. It was suggested that an article be put into the paper explaining the situation to the townspeople. The result was gratifying as the opinions of the older people were secured in so doing. A committee consisting of one person from each class and the president of the Student Council was appointed by the Council and they have indeed obtained fine results. With their help, the students have secured the backing of the Rotary Club and various other organizations. Besides these functions mentioned, questions have been settled by the Student Council. May it continue to carry on its line work! -B. BRONSTEIN, '45 PAGE TWENTY-THREE

' SCHOLASTIC CLUB The need of a club Where current events could be discussed informally caused the seniors of the Social Problems class to form a new club this year. The name Scholastic was chosen from the magazine Scholastic which is the basis of classroom work. The purpose of the club is to discuss up-to-date topics for which there is too little time during class period. The programs have proved that the club is Worth .while among our Varied extra curricular activities. During the year meetings have been held every Wednesday. Current topics, debates, discussions, educational games and talks by guest speakers have been both entertaining and instructive. The social side has not been neglected. A Christmas party was held in Room 113 which was planned entirely by the members of the club. A Valentine Social was sponsored jointly with the Latin Club when about sixty-dollars was realized. The Spring activities included a sunrise service and breakfast at the open fireplace on the Giguere Farm on the Isthmus Road. The closing event of a successful season was the banquet held during Commencement week. I The club is grateful to Rev.
