T h eodosia Boss Another successful year has been added to Book Club history under the efficient guidance of Dr. DuBois and the warm hospitality of Mrs. DuBois. The purpose of the club is to gain more extensive knowledge of contemporary literature. Discussions were led by various members on the lives and works of a number of living poets. Miss Marjorie Sargant headed the committee on book selections and the follow- ing books were added to our Book Club library: Man Of The Renaissance by Ralph Roeder. Play Parade by Noel Coward. Anthony Adverse by Hervey Allen. Modern Tragedy by Philip Bentley. 1'The Unforgotten Prisoner by R. C. Hutchinson. Flush by Virginia Woolf. Marie Antoinettev by Stefan Zweig. The Book Club owes its appreciation to Mrs. Trevorrow for her delightful review of Anthony Adverse by Hervey Allen. C. C. I. PLAYERS The C. C. I. Players are made up of the members of the two Play Production classes. During the year they presented in the Little Theatre eight one-act plays, including modern and costume plays. The girls are their own stage managers, property men and electricians as well as actors. At Christmas time they gave as their contri- bution to the season the ancient Mystery Play The Second Shepherds Play. This year the Players entered a new venture. They were asked to compete for a cup in the North Jersey Intercollegiate Dramatic League, They entered the one-act comedy Overtones by Alice Gerstenberg. The Misses Sommer, Meier, Saunders and Wilkinson were the cast, and Misses Tewksbury and Hamilton were the stage crew, while Marjorie Meyer acted as business manager. The competition was held at Westside High School at Newark, and the other contestants were Dana College and Drew University. Another interesting feature was an invitation to present a one-act play at the assembly hour at Nutley High School, Nutley, N. J. The players were received with ovation by an appreciative audience. C. C. I. returned the courtesy by asking the Nutley Players to come here. On April 20th, they presented an all-male cast to the delight of the C. C. I. audience in a one-act play, That same evening our Players gave three one-act plays. These Play Production classes put on the College Senior play in conjunction with Blair Academy. It is quite a treat to the players not to be men but to play opposite real boys. The seniors had the outstanding roles and the Freshmen acted as stage crew and understudies. The members of this year's classes are: Margaret Meier Hildred Hamilton Marjorie Meyer Helen Saunders Anna Myketiuk Irene Sommer Marion Wilkinson Helen Terry Tewksbury 60

THE HACK '34 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB OFFICERS Ethel Gilchrist .,... .. ,4,.., ,.,..,... , . .,...,... President Lillian Cooper .,.......,.,..... ..... ,.,...,..

S e c retary-Treasurer It is the purpose of the International Relations Club to learn of other peoples, their customs and their habits, thus to promote a better understanding between these peoples and those of our own country. The ear,s work was started at an After Dinner Coffee in South Parlor when y , . . Mrs. Trevorrow, Honorary President of the club, spoke to the members on K'Cond1t1ons in Europe. She presented a vivid picture of conditions as they were before the World War and after. On December fourth, the moving picture America Goes Overn was shown to the school. This film consisted of actual pictures of the World War, and illustrated the fact that war has other sides than the romantic and glorious ones so often shown to the public. At the fourth meeting of the year, several members delivered short talks on the various phases of Italian life which were pictured to us in the film, Italy and Her Surroundings, loaned to us by the Italian Tourist Information Ofhce in New York. The l'First Annual Banquet of the International Relations Club was held in the dining room on February 26th. This dinner was formal. National hymns of the various countries were sung, and Dr. Trevorrow gave an interesting talk on South America where he visited during the Christmas vacation. Dr. Strong, an Arabian medical missionary home on furlough, addressed the school on March Sth. He was dressed in native Arabian costume, and delivered an excellent illustrated lecture on his experiences in Arabia. At the conclusion of his talk, he answered many questions that his interested listeners asked. At Various meetings during the year, the members reviewed and discussed books pertaining to the subject of international relations. One of the best opportunities we have of knowing girls from other lands is through the foreign student who resides among us each year. One year it was a girl from Roumania, another year one from Czechoslavakia, and for two years she came from England. This year we have a student from Chile. We especially were interested in the presentation of a Chilian flag by Lt. Col. Palmer, representing the Chilean-American Association, after his illustrated lecture on Chile, which was introduced by a word of greeting from Mr. Grez, the Consul- General of Chile, and Chilean songs by a native baritone. This makes the twelfth flag in chapel. The club desires to extend its appreciation to Dr. and Mrs. Trevorrow, and to Dr. Paxson, our faculty advisor, for their help in the arrangement of the programs. 59
