Cumnt Science Club PATRICIA KILDUFF CHARLOTTE DOPPLER JOYCE JOLLIMORE . PATRICIA WELCH MISS AM MI DOWN President P ' ice-Presidenl Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser Men live to wonder, and that is the seed of science The activities of the Current Science Club vary somewhat from year to year in accordance with the interests of the members. There are, however, two activities which have become college traditions. The first of these is the annual campfire supper at Mr. Lamprey ' s Sudbury estate. Our party this year was outstanding. Mr. Lamprey first led the girls in a walk around the grounds, pointing out the beauties of the natural surroundings. Then supper was pre- pared by the girls at the open fire, following which the members gathered about the campfire for a short business meeting. The evening was climaxed by a talk on nature and by the reading of some nature poems by Mr. Lamprey. We shall all long remember the pleasure of this occasion. The second activity is the December sale of Christmas greens and dish gardens, which are made in the college greenhouse. This year both students and faculty members took advantage ot this opportunity to purchase attractive Christmas gifts. •f 23 1948

Athletic Association LUCILLE GRIFFITH . RUTH BERG DOLL RUTH MARTIN . . BARBARA FITZGERALD MISS MARGARET O ' BRIEN President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser To love the game beyond the prize. Our Athletic Association is one of the most popular clubs in the College. Here many of us find relaxation and enjoyment in extra-curricular activities. In a varied and well-balanced program, we not only develop the technical basic skills pertaining to many sports, but we have strengthened within us the knowledge that participation in such a program contributes to the de. velopment of desirable character and personality traits. Volley ball in the fall, basket ball in the winter months, followed by badminton and tennis skills in the spring are featured activities. The love for sports, which lies deep within us, finds an outlet and is cultivated in the warm and friendly atmosphere of our gym. 11 LAMPAS

Drama Club BEVERLY MELNICK RUTH O ' HARA . IRENE FLAVIN THELMA RAYMAN MISS GAFFEY President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The Play ' s the thing! The Drama Club opened its 1947-194R season with a puppet show, The Infants on a Holiday. After mastering the manipulation of the puppets and the synchronizing of their movements with the spoken line, the girls were able to give a delightful entertainment. On December fifth many of the mem- bers attended an excellent production of Shakespeare ' s The Taming of the Shrew at the Emerson Theatre. For the Club ' s Christmas party the girls gave an amusing short play. The Christmas Goose, and sang carols. A beautiful miracle play was presented by the Club at the College Christmas Assembly. This was the highlight of the Club ' s Yuletide season. In addition to the plays on festival days, the Club also gave short plays at its monthly meetings. These plays afforded members an opportunity for gaining experience in directing and pro- ducing plays as well as in acting. The year ended with a gala celebration. {24 LAM PAS
