Uhr Girls' Erttmatir Qiluh 14. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If J0hnson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare. Fancy's child. NVarble his native wood-notes wild. On December Sth, 1915. the girls of VVestern High school, interested in the study of the drania. met with Miss Bothe. The meeting resulted in the organization of the Girls' Dramatic Club, the purpose of which was to educate along' dramatic lines. It was decided that our meetings be held on Thursday afternoon of every other week at three o'clock, and that the Greek drama be our course of study. The course of study has proved both interesting and educational, aside from the entertaining 1,n'ogrxtn1 numbers, such as scenes from Shakespeare, resumes of popular modern nove's and various other pursuits of dramatic entertainment. Uur first open day of the club, April 14th, 1916, was marked by the presentation of the Greek comedy, The Clouds, having been prepared under the direction of Miss Merrill. It sparklcd with wit and humor, and was delightfully received by all, the cl'aracters doing justice to their respective parts. Both Miss Bothe and Miss Merrill have been very instrumental in tending to make our 0l'g'2lllii2lfi0ll a success, and we wish to take this opportunity to extend to them our sincerest appreciation, with the hope that the club will next year and henceforth be fortunate as to receive the co-operation of two such splendid per- sonages. 921 ll Q X 9 ul . - 'A -Fai?

V 1 It meairrn Rabin 6311111 A Vkfireless te'egraphy is a new feature which has been added tp our school dur- ing the past year and it is mainly through the untlring edorts of Mr. Crawford, to- gether with the aid of those Who were interested along that line, that such a thing were possible. A Last fall a meeting of all the boys interested in the wire'ess was called and as a result a club was organized under the name of NVestern Radio Club. At the first meeting of the club the following oflicers were elected: Nelson Gilbert, presidentg John LaRue, vice-president: Lewis l'owrie, secretary: Edwin Greenleaf, treasurer, Albin.-Johnson, librarian, and Reed Nichols, chief censor. It was decided that meetings would be held on the NVednesday of every other week, and that the dues would be ten cents per month. The object of the club is to awaken an interest in Wireless telegraphy and to be instructive along all sorts of electrical lines as well as furnish a means of pe- cuniary support. As an aid thereto books and magazines have been purchased by the club for the use of its members. In February an electrical carnival was given by the club for the purpose of raising funds. Electrical stunts of all kinds were exhibited including demonstra- tions in wireless telegraphy. A one-act farce concluded the carnival. It was a great. success considering that it was the first entertainment of any kind, given by the club. The study of the wireless has proved both interesting and educational' and it is to be hoped that this branch of activity will be kept up and improved upon as time goes on. f S W ' 1, A .A,1A',, !l0fm lll lllttll Ill gg?
