A. A. EVENTS. VIVIAN KIRKPATRICK. Oh, Alice, why didn't you come to the G. A. A. meeting? We made plans for the spiffiest party! A Gymnasium Party, if you please, and no dull moments allowed. There's going to be something doing clear down to the ' 'Home, Sweet, Home. My dear, don't tell me you don't belong! Do you really mean to say that you've finished two terms in Yeatman without finding out what fun and good friends you can find in the G. A. A? The afternoon walks alone are worth the dues, and if youive never had the pleasure of hiking along the road with your best friends, a ravenous appetite, and a cherished sand- wich, you can't begin to understand what you've missed. The Saturday morning hikes are the best of all, of course. Can't you imagine yourself away out in the country with a jolly crowd of girls, a crack- ling wood fire you've made yourself, and an unlimited supply of wieners and toasted marshmallows? This takes Wednesdays and a few Saturdays. If you are a real lover of sports, you will come down to the gym for some apparatus work on Tues- days. Do you know, I think the appara- tus squad work is the most interesting thing on this year's varied program. You see, there are so many of us, and we are all so determined to have a good time, that we are coming to consider it our weekly party. With Miss Krumiech for an in- structor, there is no danger of any tire- some, dragging lessons. We are all there for pleasure and work at the thing we like to do, and we get both. By the way, have you noticed the num- ber of girls out on the school field practic- ing for the Field Meet? I used to think that running, jumping, and hurdling were hard work, but since I've seen how disap- pointed the girls are if they lose a chance to practice, I've changed my mind. In fact, I'm getting so curious that I'm going to Pagf Ninety try it myself, and I hope that you and your friends will try it too. Since the weather has been so hot, haven't you, in the midst of a hard, dull lesson, dreamed of some cool swimming pool, with yourself in the center, floating lazily around, and an occasional exhilar- ating dive? Miss Lucy has charge of the swimming division this term, and they're always glad to welcome any new members. If you are not an expert swimmer, this is a good place to learn, and if you are expert, you will enjoy the swimming and diving contest at the end of the term. Hockey? Yes, we are going to play it next term again. No wonder you want to join, and get on one of the teams, for most of your friends are enthusiastic players. I want to give you a friendly warning. Get your name on the list early, for all the for- mer Reds and Blues want to play again, and many others, like you, want to get into the game. After it becomes too cold to play hockey, basketball teams will be or- ganized. Oh, excuse me, Alice. Of course, you want to know who the officers are, but it is like me to leave the most important thing till the last. Yes, your guess is right, for Geraldine Veness is the president. Roma Schaefer is vice-president, Bernice Ross- feld is the secretary, and Alice Davis takes our money. Did you know that the ad- visor for your own term, the third, is Em- ma Mulvihill? The first term advisor is Margaret Jordan, the second is Mary Con- don, and the Seniors have Frances Boyle. If the officers are good representatives of the club members, the club is one of the best, isn't it? Miss McQuiston has had charge of the club activities for some time, but she has been obliged, on account of an unfortunate illness, to give up the over- seeing of affairs, but we have been very fortunate in securing Miss Kelly's services. We are most grateful to her.

The Or- chestra got off to a good start by holding its first meeting on February 7, and elect- mg the following officers for the current term:- President. .,,,......,... Maurice Benson Vice President .... , ..... Andrew Clasquin Secretary ......,... Geraldine Williamson Treasurer. . ....,..... Walter Boeger Librarian, ,.........4 ....... E lmer Wolf Ass't Librarian ...... . .... Arthur Guntley Life Correspondent ,... James Shuhardt A person, casually glancing at the fore- going list, would receive the erroneous im- pression that the Orchestra is composed of boys. A more careful examination, how- ever, with a pause at the third name, will correct this delusion. Nevertheless, the orchestra is composed largely of boys this term. I cannot account for this, ex cept by supposing that there is not an abundance of musical talent among the girls of Yeat- man. Girls, do you accept this challenge? Nine boys and eight girls received letters for satisfactory attendence and work dur- Their names are:- Maurice Benson Andrew Clasquin ing the preceding term. Margaret Brewster Vinlta Buscher Dorothy Diestelhorst Adolph Friemel Edythe Jones Vernon Moore Antoinette Lester Pence Moczydlowska Albert Polunsky Willard Scott Martin Steitz Phil VValton The orchestra contributed to the success of Miss Randall's play given on March 2. From numerous ciomments that l heard, I am sure the students who were present that memorable afternoon went away feel- ing. that they had received full value for their money, not taking into consideration Dorthea Schneider Helen Walsh Geraldine Williamson the fact that the proceeds were to buy books for the Library. Our next public appearance occured on March 21, when we contributed our bit toward the success of the tax campaignw. Our part of the program was by no means the least applauded. Our most importance appearance Ito the Seniors! occured on March 31, when we played a march to make their Color Day a success in spite of the miserable, rainy day provided by Nature. The Seniors ex- pressed their appreciation by requesting us to come to their aid on their Flag Day, May 5. We acquiesced to their wishes and played for them on that date, with results just as pleasing as those on Color Day. The Hbig dayw, however, took place Friday evening, May 12. This was our annual concert. This was given under the auspices of the Patrons, association, and was coupled with the moving picture, tllulius Caesarw all of which helped to make the occasion the biggest hit of the season. As this annal is attaining a considerable length, I shall have to bring it to a close. Suffice to say, however, we are to play at the presentation of the Senior Play, UTwelfth Nightw, and we intend to make it an achievement worthy of the occasion. We can always use new members with talent, therefore, if you are laboring under the idea that you possess some of this usable talent, donyt let the idea get away from you, but go up to Mr. Birrls room, 208, and communicate with him. Quite recently the Board of Education decided to allow Mr. Birr to award credit to the mem- bers similar to that received by the Senior Music Class and under the same conditions. This should quicken the desire to be- come a member of the Yeatman High School Orchestra conducted by Mr. Birr. Puff .Yinrl-v One
