SPANISH CLUB Spanish Club Although the Spanish Club is by no means a new organization in Arthur Hill, the year of 1921-22 proclaimed that the Spanish Club was going to flourish and that the student body was going to accept this club as one of the most prosperous of the foreign language clubs in the high school. At the first meeting, held September 25th, the following officers were elected for first semester: President Pearl Hansen Secretary Daisy Hollies Treasurer Howard Claflin Refreshment and entertainment committees were elected as follows: Refreshment Committee: Hellen Hollies, chairman; Tessie Turner, Ray Goodrow. Entertainment Committee: Gladys Streeter, chairman; Culbert Arnold, Hubert Ryan.

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.

With this body of competent officials the Spanish Club was able to live up to the student body ' s expectations. November 12, 1 21, the Spanish Club members served a typical Spanish supper to about fifty people with general dancing afterwards. The Guest Supper, held January 12, 1922, was the largest, most successful activity of the first semester. This meeting ended the first semester activities, and all the members feel confident that the club has accomplished its purpose of introducing, to others, customs, man- ners and ideas which are typically Spanish. At a special meeting held February 7, 1922, the following officers were elected for second semester. President Pearl Hansen Vice President Carl Pohlman Secretary Helen Hollies Treasurer Robert Haines Chairman of Entertainment Committee : Daisy Hollies. Chairman of Refreshment Committee : Jessie Turner. The committees appointed by the chairmen are : Entertainment Committee: Eleanor Brewer, Bradley Cox. Refreshment Committee: Gladys Streeter, Helen Hollies. The Spanish Club decided at their Valentine party, which was held in February, to give a play which will take place in May. The com- mittee appointed to select the play is the following: Carl Pohlman, chairman ; Jessie Turner, Eleanor Brewer. The success of the Spanish Club during 1921-22 was partly due to the club advisors, Miss Abele and Miss Brown, whose main effort was to make the club a huge success.
