HISTORY CLUB HE History Club entered upon the second year of its existence with a totalmembership of more than one hundred enthusiastic students. At the opening meeting in December, Miss Murphy gave an ex- ceedingly interesting talk on her European travels. As the especial attraction of the january meeting, Mr. Reed, Editor of the Taunton paper, informed the club of several Unknown Things concerning the history of Taunton. To take the place of the February meeting, the moving picture film, A Tale of Two Cities was given before the entire school during the morning session. In March, as guests of The Old Colony Historical Society, at Historical Hall, the History Club presented a program of music and well-written historical essays. For the purpose of arousing interest in the formation of a debating team, Mr. Mahoney called a meeting of all club members argumenta- tively inclined. As the final outcome, at the following History Club meeting in April, a wide-awake and well-informed team made its debut. Since the question, Resolved that the French Invasion and Occupation of the Ruhr is justifiable, was discussed from every point of view, it was evident that great care had been taken, and extensive research made in its preparation. The debaters were Francis Mone, Alfred O'Keefe, Muriel Snow, Mary Houston, Elizabeth Patten, Ernest Martin, Mildred Rausch. The final meeting, for May, was of an entirely different nature from that of the preceding meetings, taking the form of a mock trial. Thus, aside from the pleasure derived from the meetings and work of the History Club, further knowledge of history, government, and current events has been encouraged and acquired throughout the year's program. Vl'ith Mr. Kepner's assistance the following ofiicers planned the activities of the club: President, Constance XYitherell: Vice Presi- dent, August Millerg Secretary, Ethelyn Maker: Treasurer, Virginia Stoneg Executive Committee, Elizabeth Stone, Mary Houston, Muriel Snow, Claire Sawyer, and the teachers of history and civics: Miss Atwell, Miss Delano, Mr. Kepner, Mr. Mahoney, and Mr. Galligan. 75
