through the efforts of our members. Our program consisted of several short playlets and recitations, and at the close of it Santa Claus dis- tributed gifts to all of us. Our next meeting was held March 8, 1921. At this meeting, Mr. Humes of the Y. M. C. A. spoke on a very interesting subject which he entitled Keep Agoing. Immediately after this talk, we elected our officers for the second semester. Miss Ella Haines was elected President; Frank McDermid, Vice-President; Martin Martzowka, Sec- retary and Treasurer. The Club has been a success throughout, and those who neglected to join or attend the meetings surely lost something which they will never be able to regain.

The programs given this year have been greatly vained, from the best music played before the various Parent-Teacher ' s Clubs, to the popular programs given before the High School Assemblies, all have been received with enthusiasm. The first formal occasion was the Junior Play at which time, the orchestra played an interesting program before the curtain and between acts. On April sixteenth they furnished the music for a successful All-School Party, playing for the dancing from eight to ten. On May twentie th the orchestra goes to compete in the State Musical Contest at Mt. Pleasant, along with many older and more experienced players, but they hope to bring back some recognition to

money-making project proved to be successful. We wish you as good luck, friend Juniors, for you know, as we understand it, last year ' s Seniors were not quite so successful as we were. ' Tis not the strain of the wedding march that strikes our ear, but we hear the wail of our graduation march as we proudly step forth to greet the brother mortal more advanced in years than we who stands before us. The curtain falls, and we are no longer bona-fide members of old Arthur Hill, but only in the realms of memory can we cherish such thoughts.

The Club held its first meeting of the year on October 19, 1920. At this meeting, officers were elected for the first semester. We chose for our President, Ruth Avery; Vice-President, Isla Jones; Secretary and Treasurer, Martin Martzowka. With this body of competent officers, President Avery began her term by appointing a Social and Program Committee. At the opening meeting Miss Vanderhoof, Mr. Rickerman, and a few other faculty members, were the guests of the Club. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Boyd, one of Saginaw ' s prominent surveyors. The second meeting was held at this High School on November 9, 1920. At this time, the program committee presented the program w ' hich they had prepared. The program was very interesting and was accepted unanimously. The third meeting was held November 30, 1920. The ready response of the members to our requests for music was a source of en- joyment. Several good musicians gave us enjoyable additions to the regular program. On Monday evening of December 20th a Christmas entertainment was given in Pioneer Hall. A splendid and amusing program was given
