THE CLASSICAL CLUB 2 sie 2 sie Q 4 sig 2 se ,!, l Mil! Early in October the members of the Classical Club met and elected the follow' ing oflieers: - K ALICE LEI-IDE ......... .......,.,...,,.

'Treasurer This is the fourth year that the club has been in existence, and we feel sure that it is justifying that existenceg particularly since one of its chief interests, the classical library has grown considerably, having increased to twice its original size in this last year. To Professor Henry Dawson we are especially indebted for three volumes- Smyth's Aesehulyan Tragedy, Herodotus, and Scott's Unity of Homer. These books have been of great value to the students. In spite of this encouraging increase we realize that there is yet much to be clone, and we sincerely hope that the new members of the Classical Club will not be less zealous than we in helping the growth 'of a truly worthfwhile library and club.

. QUVILLI f T M gi ANQQA Since we were this year the Junior Sorority, the initiation of the incoming Fresh- man Class was our first task. The candidates were subjected to a week of probation during which time the Juniors tested their character and good nature by submitting them to many little trials and inconveniences. Friday, the last day of probation, was the real test, the Freshmen came, clad in the raiment of their childhood days, and performed many antics which caused much laughter and mirth among the upper classes. But the participants came through the ordeal valiantly, and we were glad to welcome them as members of Kappa Chi at the formal reception on October 14. This year Kappa Chi cofoperated with the St. Vincent de Paul Society in bringing Christmas cheer and comfort to the many poor families in the city. The girls did their share by dressing dolls and contributing clothing. On December 16 we had a spread , the purpose of which was to fill the stockings with Christmas candy. These, together with clothing, were then forwarded to the St. Vincent de Paul headquarters and were distributed where they would be the most appreciated. Shortly after the Easter holidays the two Sororities, Alpha Sigma and Kappa Chi, combined to give a May-time party. This was a new procedure and was acclaimed a brilliant success. Thus reads Kappa Chi Chronicle for the year 1924 f 1925. W Mazziur Glheqatvr ANNE I-IOWLETT, '20 ,... ......... ............. P 1 esident HELEN LEINERT, '20 ..........,, .............

Because of our increased membership this year, we have found it impractical to meet at the homes of the girls, and so we have met either in the ballroom of the Catholic Business Women's Club in Summer Street, or at the Lenox Hotel. We had two dinner parties there, the first in November, and the second in February, followed. by bridge. In December we also had a supper, this time at the College. Afterward we made stocking dolls for Christmas, which were used for the children of the families of whom we took care as our share of the Alumnae work. In order to become better acquainted with the younger Kappa Chi members, we had our annual joint meeting of the Actives and the Passives in May at the Lenox. Twice our friends joined with us to have a good time. On November 18, 1924, we held an informal dance in the ballroom of the Hotel Buffalo. We had Over two hundred guests. Later in the year, at Easter, we entertained at a formal supper dance in the Grill of the Statler. Invitations were limited to one hundred couples. We are very sorry to record the death of one of our members, Jean McCarey Sterne, for whose soul we had Requiem Mass sung in our loved College Chapel. 115'
