Self-expression Ends different outlets in these groups sixty-eight Terpsichorean enthusiasts find modern dance a wonderful medium of self- expression. Audiences of the Mfinter Concert, Bandarama, and various other activities witnessed the leaping, prancing and pirouetting of the graceful members of the Modern Dance Club. Their rhythmic movements proved to be an enjoyable supplement IQ the musical scores of these programs. Other than to provide entertainment, the goal of each member is to learn to express herself more creatively. The various aspects of the theatrical world stimulated interest in the Drama and Art Clubs. Acquainting themselves with acting techniques became the main concern of Drama Club members. In developing latent talents, shrieks of help and cries of amazement were heard from behind closed doors. From this group of dedicated thespians came many successful participants in the school plays. The Art Club which concentrated on stage settings, scenery and costurning, pro- vided opportunities for the artistically inclined to study the rudiments of good design. Other interests were discovered through field trips to museums, galleries and art centers. There, they studied the Hne works of both the masters and moderns. From the violent to the ridiculous, these amateur thespians displayed their hidden talents which were cultivated in the Off-Broadway Club.

Clubs provide training for feminine occupations Neatness and excellent posture are inevitable gains bestowed upon members of the newly organized Cody Model Club. These Comettes have often had the op- portunity to put their talent to work by posing for art and photography classes. In the recent fashion show, sponsored by Simplicity Patterns, the girls modeled smart spring styles. The Future Nurses Club and the Stitch and Stir Club serve our commun- ities by inHuencing Cody students to become practical achievers. The Stitch and Stir members have sold goods they have canned, and have served at teas and luncheons. They also made the felt pen- nant pins worn by proud Cody students. The future nurses made dolls and gave them to the children's hospital, and have attended open houses within other hos- pitals to see how they operate. At other meetings Army and Navy nurses spoke to them about their professional respon- sibilities. Increased self-reliance was a beneficial outcome of active membership in both clubs.
