tons at Washington.

pupils belonging to athletic teams,
working on the school publication
and in other general organizations
where membership is not restricted
are included. Glass B includes clubs
of more Selective type and concern
ing particular branches of study.
officers in the clubs are divided
into major and minor groups. On
this basis a pupil is prevented from
holding more than one major and
one minor Office or two minor
Offices during a semester.
Scholastic requirements for the
offices demand that no pupil shall
be eligible for major Office unless
he has an average of 80 per cent In
all subjects.
Many Clubs Organized
Washington has the following
clubs: Class A, Senior Post, athletic
clubs, Washingtonian, Minute Men,
Hi-Y for Boys, Girl Reserves and
Camp Fire Girls; Class B, Art

in a festival for a dancer who had
fallen Ill. This was the beginning
of her brilliant career.
Harald Greutzberg is German.
AS a child he attended the opera
with his mother which filled him
with a desire to sing and dance
after the manner of the great artists
he say. After the study of paint
ing, costume design, and primary
dancing at the Mary Wigman
school, Kreutzberg appeared in the
ballet of the Hanover and Berlin
operas.
Later he was engaged by Max
Reinhardt for the Salzberg festival
plays. He was erninently successful
as the master of ceremonies in
"Turandot," and came to America
for the first time in 1927 to appear
in Reinhardt'S production of mid
summer Nights Dream"
Returning to Germany he began
to dance with Yvonne Georgi, whom
he had met at the Mary Wigman
school. These two young dancers
began to originate dances which
have since made them world IA
nous.
Now they are fulfilling their third
season of American engagements.
Several new dances have been added
to their program, including Kings
Dance" by Kreutzberg. described as
wild and barbaric."
Mrs. Nancy Martens is bringing
the dancers to English'S as part
of her winter offering.
