Choir Rapidly winning somewhat of a national reputation for a cappella choral work, the choir again took a spring tour of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania cities, and again sang over the National Broadcasting Co. network, from Station WCAE in Pitts- burgh on May 10. Sixty voices comprised the choir when on tour. A considerably larger contingent appeared on campus programs and at convocations.

« AI ma Mater Mythology, and the Wheel of Activities. This year it's the turn of The Awakening of Knowledge. Nominated by a W. W. L. and faculty committee and elected by the women of the col- lege, a junior coed reigns over the festivities in June, and is the personification of Alma Mater for the next year until she crowns the new Queen. Margaret Bri 11 hart was Alma Mater for the 1935 pageant depicted below. Miss Lorraine Albright receives the crown for 1936 in the pageant of June 6. Faculty members Immell, Cadwgan, Bowman, Dunn, Helsel, and MacPherson, work with the Alma Mater Day student chairman in planning the celebration. Assistants to the student chairman are in charge of costumes, decorations, dances, flower children, purchasing, programs, properties, publicity, and ushers.
