DAY SCHOOL OUR DAY Our frustrated homeroom teachers find it hard to believe that we are ever anything except highly explosive atomic packages, however, any senior knows that his fellow classmen are nothing but duds at 7 30 a m After numerous futile attempts, anx ious mothers arouse us and somehow we manage to dress, wash7, and eat by the time we must make the dash for school Occa sionally disasters occur on icy mornings, but the mayority are at least half way in side the door when the tardy bell rings After a peppy guidance period we start the day off by heading down the hall for Eng hsh prepared to meet culture in a gay mood Whenever either Romeo and ulzet or grammar and punctuation dampen our spirits we are buoyed up by those ubiqui tous stories of Marine life as told by that inimitable teller of tales, ' Uncle Remus Richardson Having lost only a portion of our gaiety, we continue to Latin Some times I wonder which is more terrifying translating Cicero or being called to the oflice in the middle of it In the course of four years of interruptions, we seniors are rather blase and seldom so unnerved by the incident that we are unable to make the ascent to Chemistry Ah' There is a sub ject! Think what a non-chemistry student misses-the aromatic odors of hydrogen sulphide chlorine, and sulphur dioxide- the beauty of expanding sugar when mixed with sulphuric acid' When We aren t ex perimentmg, we nonchalantly toss off a few problems in A B C Fashion , to quote Mr Gray It seems almost a shame to leave these delights for the social dancing class under Mrs Danes watchful eyes A few seniors have been known to set new records for the fifty yard dash when leaving gym, but whether this is due to the dancing or hunger pangs has not been determined, as yet Suffice it to say that we eat enormous lunches to condition us for the coming battle, in my case, math To any Junior contemplating advanced mathematics Speaking from my personal experience, bring plenty of intestinal fortitude to class, in addition to homework, you ll need it' Although considerably demoralized by math books fnot to mention covers , I stagger into Health and Mr Clifford Can you imagine anything more interesting than naming the bones of the back when Mr Clifford is asking the questions? By 2 30 we barely drag ourselves across the hall to History, and we re in such condi tion that Mr Deutscher has problems on his hands as well as us students Once he tried showing a movie for our edifica tion, but the film ended up as merely amusement, and we havent been enter tained since I wonder why? At precisely 3 20 a strange metamorphosis takes place Pep replaces pessimism as we bounce cheer fully off to our extra curricular activities There are always meetings of the Latin, Math Spanish French Dramatic, or Girls Clubs The highlight of each meeting is refreshment time, of course Sometimes there are pep meetings where we all join to give a rousing cheer for Baker Later in the year come Alhambra meetings, where everything but business is discussed, and play practices take precedence the latter are quite often hilarious, especially when some unsuspecting student ns wrapped up in the curtains Meanwhile, the fellows slave away for two hours or more on the basketball court, football field, or baseball diamond, according to the season The hardier females usually brave the elements Page eleven ' 9 . . . , - u - as 1 . . . , . - . . - - . , . .

V. football In the last two years of high school he was in the Dra- matic Club. fPresident of that when a Seniorj Honor Society Varsity football and track. In addition to all this he took part in the plays The Whole Town s Talk- ing and The Trysting Place .

While in his Junior and Senior years he belonged to the Math Club and the Hi-Y holding the office of secretary when a Senior. He also belonged to the French Club and played varsity football.

Presidents of the various clubs pound the gavels, and the meetings come to order, the would-be Barrymores work diligently on their play in the auditorium, and the boys go to practice to get in shape for the coming athletic Contests. These activities are not merely for pleas- ure, something is gained from every one of them. The fellows and girls participating in sports learn teamwork, good sportsman- ship, and clean living. By attending club Page twenty-eight ATHLETICS THE SHOP DANCING CLASS meetings regularly and taking part in the programs, we learn cooperation, organiza- tion, and we develop correct character traits. During the play rehearsals, self-con- trol and confidence are learned. In some way, all of our extra-curricular activities, if participated in wholeheartedly, round out the education we receive during school hours. Here in W. I., because our extra-curricular program is so intensive and offers so many benefits, we should all take part in it and get as much from our educa- tion as possible.

The meetings were care- fully planned and were usually fol- lowed by entertainment and refresh- ments. The otlicers were: Helen Bassett President Alice Richardson Secretary Catherine Taylor Treasurer Marita Henshaw Roll Caller The club attempted to further the knowledge of Latin and under the su- pervision of Miss Gates, they were most successful in this regard.

Its aim is to make French a more living and interesting course in our school. The club has two oflicersz President. -leanne Malone, and Secretary-Treasur- er, Jane Grover. The Club, at the suggestion of Miss Langlois, its advisor, hopes to get Bil- lets not only for a French opera but also for a New York show. SR. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club sponsored a won- derful dance entitled El Casino , which was an enormous success. It was based on the idea ofthe bazaar and thus it had many booths in which games were played and prizes won. The club's aim was to broaden the knowledge of the use of Spanish and to more fully acquaint the members with the land and customs of Spain. The following officers faithfully car- ried out their duties: Ruth Kester President Peggy Warren Vice President Rita Proulx Secretary Barbara Lace . Treasurer Miss Flick Advisor After much careful deliberation, they finally voted to purchase pins sig- nifying membership in the Spanish Club. J R. SPANISH CLUB The Junior Spanish Club began the year with the election of the following oflicers: Sherman Katz President joseph Pastell Vice President Connie Wbodward Secretary Laura Francischini Treasurer Miss Flick Advisor The club participated in the dance Fl Casino by operating one of the many fine game booths.

SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB On December 12, 1946, the Senior Girls, Club held one of its annual dinners. It was a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, carols, and Christmas gifts to give it that Christmas spirit. February 12, 1947 is the date set for a trip to New York City where we plan to see the play 'fjoan of Lorraine. Another an- nual dinner which is certain to live up to all our old traditions, is set for St. Patrick's Day. Other than furnishing entertainment for ourselves, this club renders services for various needs. The major- ity of such services are rendered to the P.T.A. when- ever it holds card parties or meetings, however, our girls volunteer their services to any organization with- in the school or the community whenever they are needed.

Recently, the club inducted ten new members. GIRLS HI-Y Carol Mae Losee A President Norma Brideau Vice President Lurana Oliver Secretary Doris Smith Treasurer Beverly Eaton A Chaplain The Girls' Hi-Y is a relatively new organization and has thus far succeeded in adopting a constitution and electing officers. Participating in both the county and state conventions, they are proud to say that one of their own members was elected to serve as an ofhcer of these larger Hi-Y groups. The club has high ideals and plans to sponsor dances and other social affairs. XVith the aid of their advisor, Miss Beik, they are sure to be successful. ALHAMBRA The publishing of this annual would have been im- possible without the untiring efforts displayed by the advisor, Miss Gatesg the editors, Ruth Harwood and Julie Peacockg and the entire staff. Composing the dummy, taking pictures, compiling copy, and obtain- ing subscriptions are only a small aspect of the work involved in publication, which occupies the staff every afternoon during the school year. We congratulate the staff on this 1947 Alhambra. JR. GIRLS' CLUB The jr. Girls' Club draws its members from the seventh, eighth and freshman grades, among whom this club is very popular. The girls spend the time at meetings in making scrapbooks which they donate to hospitals and children's sanitarii. In addition to this creditable service, the girls give teas and parties where they learn proper food preparation and service and practice manners.

The oliicers of the club are: President, Gordon Levyg Vice-President, Dick Teachmang Secretary, Ronnie Coleg and Treasurer, john Moore. On The Program Committee are joe Miller and Edwin Kucharski.

MATH CLUB The president of the Math Club this year is Jack Ayresq program chairman is Rudy Mennag secretary-treasurer is Jane Grover: and Miss Hahn is the very capable advisor. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in mathematics among the stu- dents in the math classes of Wf I. At the meetings members have learned how to use and make a slide rule, how to operate and read a sextant, and how to make Christmas decorations using math. By hearing talks by various speakers, members learn about radar and aerial and nautical navigation. At future meetings we plan to learn how to use a transit and at the last meet- ing of the year we will have a treasure hunt with mathematical clues. CRAFT CLUB The Craft Club was organized this year by Mr. O'Toole who is the present advisor of the club. His main hope is to help to develop hobbies, provide for spare time activities, and encourage the use of the work shop for those who otherwise would not have the opportunity to use it. During the year, we have sold Beat N.T. and XYfl.H.S. pins to raise funds for the treasury. In the Spring of the year we will prepare plans to further the inter- est of the club.

Perhaps this is true because of the untiring efforts of Mrs. Hadley, the advi- sor of the organization. The aim of the Dramatic Club is not only to develop an interest in plays and LlK'LII'l1LlIiCS,l3L1f to enhance the dramatic in- stinct as a mode of expression. It also serves to promote a social interest in its members by working together for the successful completion of a project. This project is seen by the school in the form of the three one-act plays, or the various other dramatic productions aided by the organi- zation throughout the year. The club's president is Laurie Fitz Gib- bon .lnd the Vice-President is Eugene Mal- aspino. The oihces of treasurer and secre- tary are held by Carol May Losee and Bar- bara Braun, respectively. The Club is going to see a New York play later in the year. MUSIC ORCHESTRA Certainly no school's music department would be complete without an orchestra, and we students at W I. are proud of our very excellent orchestra and its director. Through the years since that first day when a group of excited students clamored for the or- ganization of an instrumental group, the orches- tra has grown both in stature and repute. At the beginning of this school year many of us were doubtful of the orchestra's future, for it was no longer possible to meet on school time. Practice was to be held during the lunch period. We held our breath and waited, but our fears had no foundation. The response was gratifying and the organization began to surpass its former excellent reputation. The orchestra played for the three one-act plays, the Junior and Senior plays and held its accustomed place in the Spring Music Festival. To that organization and its conductor, Mr. Hackett, we give our grateful thanks for a successful season.
