Fine Arts cmd Hi-Y Society Lights Walking through the catacombs was the horrible event experienced by the new members of the Fine Arts Club during their informal initiation. This initiation with their ceremonious formal induction started the very entertaining year. The new president, Jacqueline Sutfin, was ably assisted by Elizabeth Carr, vice-president, Elizabeth Sims, secretary, Phyllis Whitney, treasurer, and Betty Carson, social chairman. Interest in world affairs was made very real by the speakers who described the countries in which they had lived or traveled. Miss Rogers gave a fascinating talk on her experiences in Turkey and showed slides and beautiful souvenirs. At the Mother and Daughter Tea Mrs. Skjerne, dressed in native costume, gave a picture of life in Den- mark. Sunny Tahiti was described by Miss Mar- garet Martin. A comparison of the social life and education in Austria and America was discussed by Mrs. Jaszi. The beauty and simplicity of life in W'ales was the topic of Mrs. Brownis talk. Miss Champney, junior advisor, talked on the value of clubs in high school life. That every per- son should develop a philosophy of life was the contention of Mr. Wigton in his speech before the club. Odd hobbies and stories were related by Mr. Sears. Miss Metcalf informed the group about the work of the Red Cross in the present war. The history of the opera was presented by Mr. james Hall. The highlight of the holiday season was the Hi-Y-Fine Arts formal attended by alumni and members of both clubs. An innovation of the year was the party for girls outside of the club, each member asking a friend to be her valentinef' At the beginning of the second semester the club welcomed two new members, Marceline Dunn and Marie Szeliga. Concluding the year the Fine Arts Girls held a banquet announcing the l94l-42 officers. Page ttcenty-four' Top row: Shirley Papworth, Eleanor Cook, Shirley Oliver, Ada Reed, Jeanette Schubert.
