26 THE QUIVER The E. C. Club was organized this year by the Commercial Junior English Class, with committees to plan and conduct meetings once a week. Its programs have included visits to France and to the western part of the United States and discussions on famous artists, living authors, modern sports, and poetry. We have had several speakers throughout the year in the Assembly Hall. Mr. Charles E. Smith of the Chamber of Commerce spoke about “boosting” the city and distributed circulars, “Facts About Woonsocket”; Mrs. T. J. McLaughlin talked about the Red Cross Christmas Stamps; and Superintendent Carroll “returned to his own” several times and talked to us on different subjects. Mr. Spratt has installed a new card system with the physical and athletic record of each pupil. Two spaces on these cards are reserved for pictures of the pupils as Freshman and again as Seniors. One afternoon a photographer took small pictures of every pupil in school, obtaining about 400 photographs in an hour and a half. William Smith has served as school reporter for “The Woonsocket Call” this year. The D. Y. S., the English Club which was formed last year, was continued this year with increased interest and progress. The Club studied American Literature, the chairmen of groups and names of authors being selected by Miss Mowry. The chairman chose his own committee, each pupil having to serve on three committees. The meetings were very interesting and instructive. The chairman gave a biographical sketch of the author, which was supplemented by oral themes and readings by the pupils. At one meeting, at which the life and works of Harriet Beecher Stowe were discussed, selections from “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” were acted in the hall. During the Christmas vacation, the first dance of the year was given by the Seniors. The decorations were of rose and blue crepe paper. Many former students who were home from college attended, thus helping to make the dance a social and financial success. The patronesses were Mrs. William Franklin, Mrs. C. H. Shambow, Mrs. Charles Cook and Mrs. Arthur Bachand. Miss Bartley was the coach this year for the girls’ basketball team. About twenty girls assembled once a week in the gym and for an hour or more the Juniors and Seniors played against each other. The girls also played indoor baseball and tennis. John Nasse of the Freshman Class was in the Woonsocket Hospital from January to May with a broken leg. A large picture, “The Puritans Going to Church,” has been purchased by the school and hung on the wall at the back of the stage in

THE QUIVER 2b Several of the Senior girls have played for opening exercises this year. Nickerson Taylor played for singing lessons on Tuesdays and Esther Falk for the Glee Club. When Marshal Foch visited the city last fall, the Woonsocket High School was honored by his presence and by the fact that his speech was given from an especially prepared platform, built on the girls’ tennis court. The school building was highly illuminated, and much enthusiasm was manifested by cheers and songs. On November 30, December 1 and 2, a play. “The Sunny South. was presented in the Assembly Hall under the auspices of the Teachers’ Association, the High School, the Alumni, and the Trustees of the McFee Memorial Library. Tbe play was well attended on all three evenings and netted, together with the sale of candy contributed by pupils and former students, almost $600. The chairman of the committee in charge of the sale of candy the first night was Mrs. Hattie Scott Redfern, ’92; the second night, Mrs. Florence Haigh Palmer, '03; and the last evening, Miss Muriel McFee, ’08, and Miss Elizabeth O’Donnell, ’14. The High School Orchestra furnished music between the scenes of the play. The cast of characters, in their order of appearance, was as follows: Joshua Phiney Aunt Doshey Major Crofton Anner Liza Lanzo Lelia Crofton Col. Daubeney Col.
