igh Zo EIR IGT Sede Women’s League S A RESULT of elections held early in the school year, the officers of the Women’s League for the year 1930-1931 were as follows: Eren Learman, president, Mary Ger- trude Pearsall, vice-president; Jennie Jones, secretary; Florence Cherry, corresponding secre- tary; and Fabianna Permoda, treasurer. Later the following chairmen of committees were named: Jane Beckett, social, Ruch Larcom, athletic; Florence Schultz, program. Each of the five groups of the League carried out a project for which money was raised for the Loan Fund. This Loan Fund, maintained by the money which the groups earn, is open for use by any studenc in Junior College. The Arpatia group sold sandwiches in the cafeteria; the Boba group sponsored a bridge party; the Mystics sold froscbites; the Corona group gave a play, while the S. S. S. group put on a Bridge-Dance. Much time and effort was spent by the girls in the individual groups to enlarge the Fund, and at the same time to promote a feeling of friendship and good-will among the members. This year the sports for women were more varied than ever before. Miss Ada Royal, girls’ physical education instructor presented the Bowen cup to the Women’s League. Each group competes for the cup, which is won on a basis of points earned, and the successful group may keep it during the ensuing year. The athletic schedule began with basketball during the winter term. From the tournament in which every group put a team, the Boba team emerged as victors. Rifle practice was next on the schedule. Twice a week the members of the League had the privilege of going to the Y. W. C. A. to practice, and the shooting match held at the end of the period devoted co this sport was won by the Corona group. A girls’ rifle team was formed from those who had the highest scores. A swimming meet was held between the groups and was won by the Corona group. Next came tennis, one of the most popular sports. Each group was represented by a singles and doubles team, and matches were played off between the different group teams. The Arpatia group won the doubles contest, while the Corona group was the victor in the singles, groups thus tying for first place, as the singles and doubles team act as one unit. The baseball games are just being played off, and it is impossible to foretell the victor. The cup, for which the groups all were working, was won by the Corona group, which had more points to its credit than any other. The social activities of the Women’s League are varied. Each group has a social meet- ing at least once a month, and at that time the members have the opportunity to become better acquainted with one another. Every year, there are two social functions in which the whole League takes part. Ac Christmas time a banquet was held in the cafeteria of the High School for the entire League, students, women faculty, and the wives of the men faculty members. The last social event of the year was the First Annual Spring Banquet, which was held at the Trinity Parish House, Friday, May 15. The guests of the evening were Mrs. Burk- hart, who sang several songs in English and in German, accompanied by Mrs. Mueller, and Mrs. Katherine Diepenbrock, pianiste, and Miss Katherine Diepenbrock, violinist. 15

C. Klingbeil, director, Joseph MacPhail, Olive Meier, Edgar Woods. Junior College Play UDGING from many favorable comments received and the empty ticket-rack, the Junior College play, ‘Little Women,”’ was by far the most successful college play ever produced in Bay City. It was through the efforts of the capable dramatic director, Mr. Henry Kling- beil and those in the cast, who seemed to possess an unusual amount of histronic talent, that this success was realized. The play was adapted from the book having the same title by Louisa M. Alcott, and even the most difficult scenes were interpreted with almost professional abilicy. There were moments of eye-moistening pathos and mirth-provoking humor which aroused to the fullest extent the sympathy of the audience. The members of the cast were: Mr. March, Joseph MacPhail; Mrs. March, Dorothy Dustin, Meg, Elizabeth DeWaele; Jo, Eren Learman, Beth, Ruth LeRoux; Amy, Madeline Race: Aunt March, Olive Meier, Mr. Laurence, Otis Heath; Laurie, Louis Meisel; Professor Bhaer, Phillip Patterson; John Brocke, Edgar Woods, Hannah Mullett, Dolores Flajole. Acting as prompters were: Madeline Meloche and Ruth Schmidt. Miss Lola Bishop and Mr. Yeakey arranged the state settings, and those in charge of the costumes were Ruth Knepp, Florence Cherry, and Emma Sartain The four “‘little women” represented Bay City at the Michigan Association of Junior Colleges, meeting in Flint where they presented a scene from the play. It was as well received by the Flint audience as it had been in Bay City. League of Nations HE Fourth Annual Session of the Model Assembly was held this year ac Hillsdale College. To this assembly, each Michigan college sends delegates who represent one or more members of the League of Nations, there being three delegates for each nation. Bay City this year, represented Canada at the assembly. Henry Van Welde, Jack Nichols, and Phillip Patterson, accompanied by H. C. Klingbeil, were Bay City’s delegates. The program of the session included committee meetings, general assemblies, and social activities. ia
