FRENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais The French students started out this year right by originating a club to make their study of PYench more interesting. At the first meeting the following officers were elected : President Walter Strobel Vice President Esther Walker Secretary Phyllis Pitts Treasurer Carl Lilliestiema Several meetings were held but on account of the illness of their advisor, Miss Keating, many plans were given up. Although Le Cercle Francais is yet young in school activities, it promises to be one of the outstanding clubs of Arthur Hill. PHYLLIS PITTS, Secretary.

( Miss Kilbourne Faculty Advisors Miss Lesh Auditor W. W. Haggard The Letter Club On Wednesday, February 8, 1922, the members of the nineteen twenty-one football squad met and formed an organization to be known as the Letter Club of Arthur Hill High School. The objects of this organization are to promote better fellowship and better sportsmanship among the athletes, and to raise the standard of athletics in Arthur Hill. The following signed the constitution which was drawn up, making them charter members: Louis Coash Harry Hawkins Myron Cox Nick Mangutz Joe Friskie Russell Norton Charles Grube James Pearson Paul Hackett Raymond Scheib Raymond Hart Harold Schimmer Herbert Wallace Application cards have been printed and a campaign is being put on to obtain members. Any male student of Arthur Hill who has earned one or more first team monograms in either football, basketball, baseball or track is entitled to active membership in this organization. Also, any alumnus who has earned one or more monograms is entitled to an associate membership. The first team coach, Mr. Bassett, is an active member, and Mr. Haggard, Mr. Ramsey and Mr. Allen are honorary ' members. Although the only thing done by the Letter Club, up to the time of this writing, has been to arrange a series of inter-class basketball games, it expects to do other things before the school term ends. At present, it is merely getting a firm foundation with which to carr ' on what will be a very good work in the future. The officers for the 1921-1922 school term are as follows: President Harry Hawkins Vice President Charles Grube Secretary Herbert Wallace Treasurer Raymond Scheib

The Girls ' Club The Girls ' Club was reorganized for this school year during the second week of September. A committee meeting was called to nomi- nate the officers, and the next week the girls gathered at the Annex after assembly and elected the following: Presiden t Eleanor Johnson Vice President Helen Carr Secretary Ada Giles Treasurer Sarah Pritchard The girls gave their first party on Friday, October twenty-sixth. A short business meeting was held at which the honor system was dis- continued. It was also decided that the ten girls (from any claes) who had taken the most active part in the club should be awarded club pins. Stunts and games furnished amusement until the refreshments were served, and then the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The attendance at this party was a record-breaker for the club — the Annex was crowded and over three hundred girls had a fine time. The next time the girls came together was in December for a Christmas party. Means were discussed for giving some one in need a happy Christmas and it was finally decided that everj- girl should donate something toward a Christmas basket. This plan met with en- thusiastic approval and four large baskets filled with eats and toys were given away. The faculty as well as the students put on some amusing stunts and novel refreshments — candy in red and green stock- ings were distributed. A Costume party was held at the Annex on Saturday evening, March eighteenth. Almost three hundred girls attended this party and about everj- kind of costume the mind could conceive was exhibited. Prizes were awarded for the prettiest and funniest costume and after an excellent program, dancing was enjoyed. A Spring party is being planned which is bound to be as big a success as the past ones. Because there was no large session room where the girls could meet for business, all practical affairs had to be transacted at the parties. Despite this difficulty the Girls ' Club has been a wonderful success this year. The girls have seemed to pull together on the same footing, the freshmen have become acquainted more readily than usually happens, and the club has furnished forms of interesting amusement that cannot be equalled anywhere else. Eleanor Johnson, president for the second time, deserves much merit for this success. She has worked hard and faithfully all year, and it has meant more responsibility than most of us realize to plan and materialize four or five big parties. Everj ' girl in high school will remember her and the club which has given each one so many good times during the vear ' 22. ADA GILES, Secretary.
