It is a very exclusive organization and only those students who take 12 A Virgil are permitted to join. The club is sponsored by Miss Reid, and without her interest and hearty cooperation it could not succeed. One meeting is held each month during school hours. At this meeting both humorous and educational programs are given and the members learn a great deal concerning the classics and ways ofliving in Old Rome and Ancient Greece. Entertainment is furnished, consisting of pantomimes, Latin conundrums, Latin plays, or some other kind of amuse- ment. After the program a social period of refreshments and music is enjoyed. The refreshments consist of some form of food which the Romans themselves ate. Each member of the club has a Latin name, by which he is known at the club meetings and in the regular class. Whenever Miss Reid is unable to attend class, the Aeneid Club officers take charge, and the work goes on as usual. The Princeps Aeneas of the January class was Ronald W. Smith and the Scriba Dido was Irene McKnight. For the June class Barbara Wood is Princeps and Gerhard Derge is Scriba. To the Princeps and the committees appointed by him is entrusted the success of all the club's activities. IPag: Ons Hundred and Sixl

The Hi-Y Club is a high school Y. M. C. A. organization whose purposes and aspirations are similar to those ofthe regular Y. M. C. A. While it is a high school club it is directly connected with the Y. M. C.

The club has developed friendship among the members and has influenced many of its members to work with greater zeal. The qualifications for membership are that the pupil have an excellent grade in Spanish and also be willing to take part in any activity which the club decides upon. A club pin has been adopted which is a small silver tower with a cross and lion on it. Officers are elected every semester. The ollicers for this last semester were: president, Martha Bowditchg vice-president, Harry Parsonsg Secre- tary, Florence Earlyg treasurer, George Suitt and Sargent at Arms, Leland YVeed. The name of the club is La Tertuliaf' The meetings of the club are held every two weeks on Wednesday and are varied as much as possible. Several short plays have been given, Spanish stories reviewedg jokes told and sometimes Spanish refreshments served. Also popular Spanish music is played on the victrola and sung. This gives an opportunity for more fluent Spanish among the members and arouses an interest in things Spanish. Several hikes and outdoor suppers have been held. Two parties have been given. One of these was at the Y. W. C. A. and the other at the home of one of the pupils. There were about twenty-five members present at both of these parties. Games were played and refreshments served. The club has made quite a name for itself in the past year and it is hoped that it will continue to be very active in the future. lPage One Hundred and Szvenl
