' 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. Hazel Kirk of the Universalist Church, Mrs. Lettie Huston and Miss Lucia Cormier of the faculty and Dr. E. A. Sheehy for their enlightening talks. , The oHicers are: President, Mary Anita Gallantg Vice President, Tom Ronang Secretary, Barbara Adleyg Treasurer, Theresa Taylorg Sponsor, Miss Julia Murphy. The first president of the club, Joseph Richard, joined the colors in March and was succeeded in oflice by Mary Anita Gallant. ,MARY GALLANT, '45 PAGE TWENTY-FIVE

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
