The Royal Order of Homemakers under the direction of Mrs. Brabham has gradually improved during the last two years. More time is being devoted by the officers and the adviser toward making the club a place of interest for the members. New and different ideas have been suggested and successfully executed. The interests of the members and the successful continuation of the club was uppermost in their efforts. During the latter part of April the girls, accompanied by their adviser, Mrs. Brabham, journeyed to Chico to attend the annual R. O. H. Conference held there. The confer- ence is attended by all the affiliated Home Economics clubs from the different schools in Northern California. In the course of the year many food, candy, hotdog, cake and pie sales were given. The proceeds from these sales were used to help the girls buy their R. O. H. pins. Part of the money was used to help finance transportation to the conference. The remainder of this fund was used to pay for some of the social events and to purchase needed equipment. Of the many delightful events during the year, the initiation ceremony was perhaps the most impressive. The candle-lighting ceremony was very lovely. Some of the other outstanding events were a progressive dinner, held early in the spring, and a dinner held in honor of the R. O. H. members, both past and present, in Westwood. The club made dainty curtains to go in the three home economics rooms. Officers for this year were Ruth Perry, president: Alice McCrea, vice-president; Marie Pappa, secretary; and Alice Linn, treasurer. «24»

DRAMATICS Tiger House, a mystery comedy in three acts, was presented April 28, with Marian Hull as the heroine giving a splendid performance as Erma Lowrie. Other characteriza- tions were Ellsworth Vandervate as Yami, a Hindu; Elizabeth Yeager as Sarah Broderick; Mary Pearl Stubblefield as Murdock; Tom Miley as Macintosh; E. Carroll as Oswald Kerins; Marilyn Bergstrom as Peggy Van Ness; Don Prusia as Thompson; Doris Stanley as The Mystery Woman ; and Ray Hampson playing the double role of Arthur Hale and the Tiger Man. The second semester, two plays were given. So This Is Paris Green,” a rip roaring French comedy with Marian Hull alternating in the clutches of Ellsworth Vandervate and Tom Miley, gave an inside story of life in the Parisian underworld. White Elephants, an amusing play in which the rich society newlyweds let the burglar steal their valuables so that they could collect their insurance, only to find that her husband had forgotten to mail the insurance policy, was well performed by Bob McNevin, Doris Stanley, Mary Jean Patterson, and Elwin Carrol. «23»

CAMERA CLUB With the coming of the fall roundup of wild Students and the task of again breaking them to the harness of school work, we received a new shipment of teachers. Among them an expert amateur photographer bearing the name of Mr. Allen was found. Mr. Allen, when he docked, was found with a camera clutched in one hand and in the other a briefcase full of new ideas for improving the Camera Club. Now we have some twenty- seven persons signed up as active members. On several occasions hiking trips were taken. The first of these was a hike to the top of Goodrich mountain. Some very interesting pictures were taken, one of which was posted in the library. The second trip was to be a distant trip to Deer Heart Lake. On this trip could be seen two new members, namely, Myrtle McCall and Winnie Emerson. Tagging in the wake of the fleet-footed girls as they skimmed over the ice and snow could be seen the very familiar Cartwright. Camera Club Week has always meant bad weather and this year was no exception. When the first Camera Week was announced it snowed five feet. The second time it snowed, not five feet but ten feet! But, ah, the third and last time was a charm. Some of the members who couldn’t find time to go on any of the hiking parties were: Elizabeth Yeager, Zina Rowely, Mary Stubblefield, Hanlon Tharp, Don Hoffman and Pearl Morey, the ex-president who resigned on account of illness. James McDonald took over the job with Winifred Emerson as his Secretary-Treasurer. « 25 »
