1935 THE CHALK LINE Page 27 MADRIGAL SINGERS MUSIC ACTIVITIES During the year now closing the glee club has completed four principal units of work. Given in conjunction with the orchestra, the first of these, the customary concert before the student body, augered aright the successful season in store for the club. Also a part of this concert was repeated when the legislators were visiting the school. At the Christmas concert, comprising the second unit, the club continued its tradition of performing carols from different countries; France, Haiti, Russia, and Poland being the ones selected this year. Marking especially the activities of the winter quarter was a visit to Rutledge, for this is the longest trip that the club has ever made en masse. Finally, in bringing its year to a triumphant close, the club produced “The Spanish Grandee ’ an operetta rep¬ resenting probably the best aggregation of musi¬ cians this school has seen. Then, after this, thus successful operetta the club treated itself to a well- earned picnic.

Page 26 THE CHALK LINE 1935 I PESTALOZZIAN SOCIETY PESTALOZZIAN ACTIVITIES When our school year is ended on June 7th the Pestalozzian Literary Society will have concluded one of the most successful years of its existence. In the year just passed this society has been of untold benefit both in a social and an instructive way to the dormitory men of State Teachers College. The programs of the society have been featured by many well-known speakers, among whom were S. D. Jackson and Supt. Roy Bigelow of the John¬ son City Schools. Other features of the programs have been moving pictures, special music and talks and other parts of the programs taken by the mem¬ bers themselves. It was through the courtesy of the society that the Men’s Hall lobby was furnished with newspapers and the best magazines of the day. One of the most highly enjoyed occasions spon¬ sored by the society was the Men’s Dormitory ‘Open House’, given in the winter quarter and at¬ tended by several hundred Coeds, faculty members and friends. Two sets of officers of the society were elected each serving one-half of the school year. These were as follows: FIRST SEMESTER President Nathan Jones Vice-President Lloyd Thornton Sec.-Treas. Lawrence Courtney Sgt.-at-Arms Pryor ‘Popeye’ Hunt SECOND SEMESTER President Lloyd Thornton Vice-President M. F. Parsley, Jr. Sec.-Treas. Willard ‘Patrick’ Garland Sgt.-at-Arms W. N. ‘Casey’ Jones

WOMEN S INTRAMURAL DEPARTMENT The Women’s Intramural Department has just completed a very successful year under the capable direction of the manager, the assistant manager, and the heads of sports. Each activity was entered in¬ to by a larger number of girls than in the past years, and we feel that these girls who are taking part in this department, in addition to their classwork, will be far better prepared to teach as they have a more rounded education. The following is a list of the year’s activities and the champions of each: Volleyball —Sophomores; Basketball — Sophomores; Baseball — Sophomores; Ping Pong—Anne Bryant; Foul Shooting—Wilma Dean Sherrod; Horseshoe —Hazel Chandler; Cro¬ quet-Nancy Hale, This, the second year for the circus which was sponsored by the Physical Education Department, was again a great success due to the willingness and co-operation of both the women’s and men’s departments and the Training School students. A play, The Drunkard; or, The Fallen Saved ”, an old familiar, rip-roaring, fast moving, soul¬ searing melodrama portraying the evils of the mauve decade, gave the audience many laughs but kept them spellbound until the final curtain “T.
