The board this year consists of Betty Michaelfelder, president, Betty Hart- man, vice-president, Jeanne Seiss,'recording secretary, Florence Siegenthaler, corresponding secretary, Virginia Byrne, treasurer, and Julie Palm, chaplain. Social activities were planned following the opening meeting. A roast in the fall renewed acquaintances and club activities for the new year of the Pericleans. Several attractive spreads were held in members' homes, an impressive formal installation of new members and oflicers took place, and a beautiful pageant was presented for all students at Christmas time. In co- operation with the other Literary organizations, plans for the third annual Literary Dance were perfected and carried out. In fitting conclusion to a year filled so full of activities, an attractive farewell party was given for retiring senior Peris. To the loyal advisers, Mrs. Carrie Whaley, Mrs. Edith Schwenke, and Miss Marian Smith, who have been willingly helpful in every way, the Peris say thank you.

ZETALETHEAN TO spread finer knowledge and understanding of literature in its various phases and to lear11 more about contemporary authors, the Zetalethean Literary Society was organized several years ago. The girls at DeVilbiss have formed the Delta chapter of this literary group. A fine consti- tution has been framed, enumerating the various ideals and purposes of the club. A quota has been set, and the membership is limited to fifty girls. Any girl receiving an average grade of C or better in her studies may become a member of this organization, provided that she attends meetings regularly and shows her interest in the club and its aims. Cooperation has been stressed as an important factor i11 this group, and the members have willingly aided the officers and advisers. This year the officers were Dorothy Gobrecht, president, Dorothy Ash, vice-president, Jeannette Meyers, secretary, Lorraine Coombs,treasurer, Louise Rowan, censor, Janet McMahon, ehaplaing Bettie Jayne Parker, sergeant-at-arms. With Miss Mildred Pash, Miss Faye Miller, and Mrs. Anne Sutter as the three advisers, a great deal has been done for the members in both educational and social standpoints. Many interesting soeial activities were planned by the Zets during this school term, and perhaps one of the most attractive of all was the Valentine's Day tea, given for the members of the Zetalethean society in all the high schools of this city. Two formal inductions were held to install the new oflicers and members. Both of these colorful affairs were followed by spreads in the homes of various members of the organization. The members again aided the other literary societies in planning the annual Lit dance, which was quite a success, as it has been for several years. Clever sweaters were purchased this spring for the club distinctions. An impressive farewell party was held for retiring officers and senior members as a climax to the year's activites. Meetings were held every two weeks, interesting programs were arranged by Dorothy Ash, and the knowledge of contemporary authors and poets was greatly increased. At one of the first meetings of the year, Miss Rose Bloom was guest speaker. Her topic was very interesting as she gave a clever book review of Green Pastures. At other meetings, the program consisted of biographies, skits, book reviews, and readings, all given by various members of the organization. Cooperation with the library and other members of the literary councils, the members helped to make Book Week a success at DeVilbiss. With the capable committees selected at the beginning of the year, the girls have earnestly worked to maintain the fine standards and ideals of the club. Perhaps one of the finest factors in the organization is the willingness to work and the fine feeling of friendship which is so predominant among the girls. Their sincere gratitudes is intended to their advisers, and they hope that next year will be ever more successful in every way. :Sth Run-: Betty Hetfelman.
