could be explained as clever EuesseH

One Of the simplest tests wus as

"THE SIRENS CLUB"

The last basketball practice was held
at the Morey Junior High School last
Thursday evening. Members of the
first team including the substitutes
showed mp very well and it is the pre-
diction of cur captain Mr.. Harry Soltz
that it will be successful basketball
season.
In view of the fact that everything
done by the Sirens club has been Il sue
cess, in appreciation to their parents
and friends have decided to give two
big affairs next month for their bene-
fit. Ii has been thought by all its
members that without their entiring
efforts the undertakings of the club
could not have been up to its high
standard.
The first affair of the month will be
given in honor of the parents of the
club and their friends. This will be
given on November 9th, Thanksgiving
night appropriate to the date in the
form of thanks. A comedy play in
which members Of the club will cast In
singing, n speech by well noted speak
er, many other forms of entertainment
are being planned for the program for
that night The affair Will be held at
the Ohabek Zadck Congregation at 2222
Marion and joyful evening will be
had by all attending.
few weeks later an invitation af-
fair will be given for the younger
friends folks of the club. This affair
will also be in celebration of the sue
ccSa of the dance recently given by the
club at the Coronado. Inaugural ad-
dresses will be given by the newly elect
ed officers of the club, namely: Max
Kahn, president; Willie Agren, vice
president; Louis Cohn. treasurer and
Charles G. Bauer, secretary.
The committee ON both affairs con
sisting of Willie Agren, Harvey Fried
land, and Louis Cohn are dev0ting most
cf their time in their efforts TO make
both of these affairs something to be
remembered by everybody who will at
tend them. A great era Of activity is
forecast by the Sirens club. Many
achievements are being planned for by
the organization in the form of large
undertakings.
As well as entering a social career
the club is entering also an era of cdu-
catiunal work At the last meeting,
Mr. Agrcn gave n speech before the
club ON Politics and Politicians in the
coming election Many ideas of inter
est We're brought out III his speech and
