THE SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY MR. BRACKETT . . . ....,..,....,...,.., Faculzy Secrezary MR. MERIGOLD .4,4,. Facully Member ol' Executive Commillee MEMBERS LAWRENCE FOX ALPHA EPSILON UPSILON, the Clark Scholarship Society, was founded in 1914 at the suggestion of former Clark President, Edmund C. San- ford. This honorary society was founded with the realization that there are men who are interested in knowledge for its own sake and for the benefits which it bestows upon mankind: therefore its object is to further the main- tenance of a high and broad conception of scholarship through which knowl- edge will be placed at the disposal of mankind. Membership to the society is conferred upon those men who have achieved high scholastic standing during their college years and is given at the end of the Junior year or during the Senior year of college. Additions from the faculty are made occasionally. The number taken into the society this year has been greatly decreased due to the present conditions. Following graduation. membership will increase. l70l

GLEE CLUB CLARE CASSIDY . . ...... Presideni RUTH O'FLYNN ,.... ..... V z'ce-President BERNARDINE CASHEN ,..,.. . . . . Secretary-Treasurer AGAIN a new musical director has come to Clark and is successfully heading the musical clubs in school. He is Mr. Carl S. Malmstrom, who replaced Charles T. Lee. With Mr. lVlalmstrom's aid, Glee Club has become one of the largest organizations on the campus. Appearances at assemblies, teas, and student-faculty Wives' gatherings have been carried out smoothly and efliciently, and Glee Club has hit the stride at last. The biggest undertaking of all, third year, and also something of an inno- vation at Clark, was the operetta, The Forest Prince based on Tschaikowsky's melodies, which was presented this May in collaboration with CUPS. Go- ing on the success of the operetta, it seems that Glee Club has truly staged a comeback and can safely look forward to an even bigger and better club next year. l69l

NORDEN ARDEN ALMQUIST . . ..... President Nomvm GUI.LBr3RG . , . . . . Vice-President JEAN BITCKIER , . . . . Secrelury ARTHUR JOHNSON . . ....... Treasurer EMIELINIE HIGHBERG . . , . . Program Chairman ORDEN is a comparatively new organization at Clark and is made up of students of Scandinavian ancestry. The club's purpose is to acquaint its members with Scandinavian culture and customs. Last year, because of military conscription, Norden was not active on campus. This January, how- ever, a reorganization meeting was held and officers were elected. Dr. Ekblaw was appointed faculty advisor, and plans were made for the remainder of the year. , Since then, the club has met monthly. Dr. Ekblaw has spoken before it, and a private home was opened to the Nordens, where they listened to and dis- cussed Swedish music. In April, the members of the club attended a meeting of the Swedish National Federation. The main purpose, of Norden for the duration, is to keep the name of Norden before the public eye until there can be a larger and stronger organization of Scandinavian students at Clark. SKETCH CLUB NY Wednesday afternoon, the sensitive scientist may discover his private northside of the second floor in Jonas Clark building invaded by strangers. No! no histologists or even pre-meds. but to this haven flies the ama- teur artist with all the fixings except the felt beret. Bill Dacey leads the little group to a quiet corner where only whispers of the frog's respiratory system can be heard, and while he wanders through the skeleton-decorated labs in search of the perfect still life subject, the few dilet- tantes set up their easels and get into the mood for what is to come. They all marvel at the fossil that Dacey manages to dig up in the depths of Potters and Nunnie's galleries and after looking at it from every possible angle, each one puts his impressions down on paper. This, friends, is the Sketch Club, begun this year not by professionals but by those who are just interested and enjoy doodling. We are hoping that some- thing great will develop from the hours spent in this pastime. Perhaps some great genius will be discovered--who knows? l71l
