Organizations
EVA BENEDICT, '16

Student Body
    Owing to the diligent work of our financial secretaries, the enrollment in
the Student Body has greatly increased over that of the preceding years and keen
interest is manifested in all the departments.

    Under the management of the Student Body the Lyceum course was secured again
this year and was creditably handled.

    The officers elected for the present year are as follows:
Howard Remick, '16          President
Theresa Bauer, '16          Vice President
Edward Devine, '17          Secretary
Edward Walters, '17         Treasurer
Oras Black, '16             Auditor (Resigned)
Amy Boynton, '16            Girls' Financial Secretary
Harry Cassaretto, '16       Boys' Financial Secretary
Gladys Coblentz, '16        Editor
Clair Willms, '16           Business Manager
Waldo Porterfield, '18      Property Manager
Estella Posey, '16          Girls' Basket Ball
Edward Atwood, '18          Boys' Basket Ball
Frank Carpenter, '16        Baseball
Nathaniel Adams, '18        Tennis
Woodson Hawes, '17          Track
Sherwood Spurgeon, '18      Yell Leader (moved away)
     The office of auditor upon being left vacant was filled by Ernest Fink.


Agriculture Club

    Although the number of members belonging to the Agriculture Club this year
is thirteen, the organization is anything but unlucky. Ralph Parker won the
potato raising contest last year and he was awarded the trip East. The other
members were given a five days' trip to Davis and to the San Francisco
Exposition. On their return they entertained the assembly with an account of
their outing interspersed with songs and yells.

    The members met in October and elected the following officers:
Raymond Beckman          President
Arthur Knudson           Vice President
Ralph Parker             Secretary



An Orchestra

    One of the interesting features of the school, and one of which we are very
proud is our orchestra.

    The orchestra has always kindly consented to play at the debates and has
entertained the assembly several times. We were proud of their success in their
first public effort in rendering a sustained production, the Junior Operetta,
"The Windmills of Holland."

    Besides playing for school affairs the orchestra rendered several selections
at an entertainment given by the Congregational Church.



Glee Clubs

    The Girls' Glee Club containing forty-five voices, has practised diligently
through the whole year. They sang for the Woman's Club and the ladies were so
pleased with their music that they invited them to sing at the Federation of
Womans' Clubs held in Lodi.

    The Girls' Glee Club met in October and elected the following officers:

Edith MacKindly          President
Jennie Jones             Vice President
Philoma Ferguson         Secretary and Treasurer
Edythe Keast             Librarian

    The Boys' Glee Club numbers eleven members. They have entertained us very
pleasantly several times in assembly and gave several numbers at the
entertainment given by Dr. MacClaren.
