291 ALTAE PUELLAES IN order to develop to a greater degree the poise, grace, and distinction of tall women and to promote interest and appreciation of them, the Altae Puellae organization of tall girls was founded in 1933, under the leadership of Frances Curtis. To be considered eligible for this society, one must be five feet, seven inches or over, and it is necessary that she attend two meet- ings before being considered a full-fledged member of the club. In numerous ways the Altaes, as they are commonly called, have succeeded in many enjoyable times socially. Among their many outside activities was a rather unique party, given at the Close Park Shelter House, and to which many of the tall boys in the school received clever invitations. This affair was one of the most successful planned thus far by these versatile girls. Among its other projects have been listed their annual Christmas tree, which was beautifully decorated, their outstanding per- formance in the annual DeVilbiss Deviltries, and their clever individual club annual which contains picture of the officers, members, and of the alumnac group. This unusual idea has been received with great enthusiasm and interest by the active members of this club. This society, which is chartered, has a written constitution and a closed membership, has met with great success in the majority of its undertakings. Inductions, which are held each year in a most attractive manner, formally take the new members into the organization. At the meetings, which are held every two weeks at the homes of various members, interesting and lively programs, well proving the great ability of these girls, are preceded by a thorough and well-planned business meeting. Perhaps one of the finest and most praiseworthy of the many fine characteristics of this capable group of girls is the delightful manner in which they have cooperated throughout the entire year in every possible way. Wider interest was created in this society when a two-column write-up, along with a large picture of the officers and founder of the club was published. With Miss Pauline Payne and Miss Marie Stoll as the two efficient advisers, the officers have found it exceedingly easy to carry on this ideal of cooperation among the members. Another of their more interesting and attractive affairs was the second annual style show, given with the cooperation of one of the local department stores. This affair, at which the tall girls belonging to the club eapably served as models, was attended by a group of girls in DeVil- biss, and was a huge success. The members wish to extend their deep gratitude to the following officers of the Altae Puellaes: Ruth Fox, president, Betty Michelfelder, vice-president, Betty N. Barefoot, secretary, and Marie Fox, treasurer. This cabinet has proved itself able to handle all of its many duties. At the end of a very successful year, the Altae Puellaes unite in their hope that their club, which is a departure from the ordinary, will continue in prominence and active undertakings as it has during its initial years of existence. 4th Raw: Pauline Carr, Dorothy Schramm, Virginia Clancey, Henrietta Blessing, Billie Cramer. 3rd Roux' Mary Ellen Mills, Annabelle Haag, Miriam Wearley, Charlotte Homrighaus, Bettae Shank, Virginia Stewart, Jean Myers. 2nd Row: Jane Bayer, Janis Weisler, Betty LeSueur, Miss Payne, Miss Stoll, Lillian Melchair, Virginia Baker.

SORELLES The Sorelle Social Society opened their yearly activities with a tea for the alumnae in the home of their adviser, Miss Rose Bloom. Following this, they held their first regular meeting at the home of Sally MaeDermid, where they elected the new officers: Virginia Byrne, president, Bettie Jayne Parke, vice-president, Betty Bullock, recording secretary, Dorothy Gobrecht, corresponding secretary, Sally MacDer1nid, treasurer. These officers planned a Hallowe'en party for the faculty. In December, Doris Punsky opened her home for the induction of new members. Later in December, under the direction of Virginia Byrne, the girls sponsored a bake sale which proved highly successful. When Christmas time came, the annual custom of their society was again observed. A Christmas tree bearing notes was placed in the hall where anyone in the school who desired to send a Christmas greeting to a friend was eligible to do so simply by paying the small sum of one cent. To usher in the New Year, the girls decided to raise money by having a bridge at the Y. W. C. A. Nancy Wiggins was appointed chairman and Louise Adams, Jeanette Shaeffer, Rita Talbert, and Dorothy Boyd helped her with the arrangements. February again found the girls paying more attention to business affairs than to social functions. But when spring came, they were once again ready to undertake more social activities. The most important event was the afternoon dance held in the girls' gym. Bettie Jane Eichner, Jane Miller and Jeanne Nooney took charge of making this affair successful. On April 28, the mothers had a chance to chat together when the mothers' tea was held in the home of Betty Bullock. Here, under the capable direction of Florence Buser, the committee aided the girls in entertaining their mothers. Besides being served refreshments, the mothers witnessed a program appropriate to the occasion. At this time, each of the officers played her part in the afternoon's affair. Mrs. Byrne, mother of the president, responded to a toast given in honor of the mothers. O11 May thirteen another beautiful party was given by the Sorelles, this time in honor of the seniors. Built around the theme A Garden of Memories, the program in which a girl representing each of the four classes took part, will provide happy memories for all who attended the banquet. A club history, will, and prophecy were given by the departing seniors who also left the club a large scrapbook in which to file clippings of future activities. The retiring members enjoyed the evening except for the fact that they were now joining the alumnae group. They hope to have a cottage at one of the lakes during the summer. Last summer, they took their vacations at Clear Lake, Indiana, where they were able to become close friends. The regular meetings are held bi-monthly in the girls' homes. The primary purpose of the club is to promote friendship and provide plenty of happy days for all concerned. The meetings begin at seven-thirty. After a short business meeting and refreshments, the girls leave at nine- thirty for their respective homes. wird Row: Rita Tnhltert, Eilene Cooper. Jeanne Nooney.
