L. Sanders answering M. Leahy ' s signal to cut in at a fall Coffee Dance. Barnard Hall Social Committee The tap of a white hand on a silk-clad shoulder — a soft murmur of acquiescence, and we have that unique characteristic of the Barnard Coffee Dance, the gentle art of cutting-in as practiced by the female of the species. This year, the Barnard Hall Social Committee effectively con- summated plans for larger and more elaborate parties, and, for the first time, the scene of one of the Coffee Dances was transferred from Barnard to Earl Hall. The committee also sponsored the purchase of Barnard ' s public address system. Social Committee members planning a dance. Rear row: C. Lawlor, M. Leahy, V . Hughes, Chairman P. Mann, E. Webb, B.

Vocational Committee Providing a touchstone for the various careers which open out before the Seniors, the Voca- tional Committee with Georgia Sherwood as Chairman has proven to be one of the most popu- lar of organizations, among the upperclassmen. At teas, luncheons, and assemblies during the year, women of prominence were presented who discussed opportunities for graduates in their chosen fields.

Phelps, P. lllingworth, and Kremsdorf— build a ' ' flat. ' ' Wigs and Cues, with Roberta Hadley as President, concen- trated its main efforts of the season on the production of its fall play. Berkeley Square by John L. Balderston, the story of a twentieth century man ' s re- turn to the eighteenth century, was chosen for production. The staging committee reproduced an eighteenth century drawing room which was decorated with genuine Queen Anne fur- niture by the property chair- man. The costume committee supplied the cast of eight Barnard girls and seven Columbia students with period costumes. Under the direc- tion of Anton Hardt, Berkeley Square played to two large audiences in Brinckerhoff Theater. Several teas were held through- out the year in the clubroom which was redecorated by two mem- bers. A banquet at which club pins were awarded to six members for service to Wigs and Cues concluded the ye ar. a wig for F.. Anderson.
