And She Shall ake Music The MUSIC CLUB is an organization with mem- bership open to students having an average of B on six semester hours or more of applied music, and a gen- eral average of C on all other subjects. It meets the first Thursday and third Friday of every month at which time programs of varying length are presented. This provides an opportunity to hear fine music and gives its members an incentive to perform composi- tions currently being studied before submitting them at regular examination. The Club's programs are especially useful to sen- iors preparing recitals, but poise and assurance may be gained by all students anticipating public appear- ances in Chapel or elsewhere through participation in the programs. By offering many opportunities to gain experience through frequent appearance before a critical audi- ence, the Music Club functions as an integral part of the music students' education. Membership in the club should be a goal for every student working seriously in the field of music. Bees in their Bonnets The BIOLOGY CLUB's aim is to stimulate inter- est in biological work. It offers to students interested in scientific matters an opportunity to study impor- tant developments in this field. Mr. Reynolds and Dr. Deviney, co-sponsors of the Biology Club, meet reg- ularly with members to aid them in discussions on the new discoveries. In many of the meetings, film- strips and slides are shown to help the students un- derstand more fully the new ideas presented. The club also visits interesting places such as dentists' and ra- diologists' offices. Once during the school year the club has a supper at which they discuss many other interesting topics as well as scientific matters. All their time is not spent in scientific activities, however. During the Christmas season members prepare and carry a bas- ket of food to some needy family in the area. The goal of the Biology Club is to make students more aware of the wonders around us and at the same time to enjoy working together. Seated: Sawyer-president. Standing: Atkinson, McCreigl1t, Bishop, Campbell, Gibbons, Parker, Foster.

A familiar event on the Coker Campus is the bi- monthly Thursday night meeting of SIGMA TAU DELTA's Pi Gamma chapter. Students desiring to foster a new interest in literature and creative writing gather after supper for informal and enlightening pro- grams conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Sisson and Dr. French Haynes. The program for regular meetings varies from the reading of material written by members to the dis- cussion and analysis of great literary works. Sincerity, Truth and Design, the motto of this English fraternity, is carried out in the original writ- ings of each member. The club's activities began this year with the im- pressive initiation services for the new members. This was followed by some horseplay supplied indirectly by William Shakespeare. The Sisson's Christmas party this year was some- thing special. Dr. Sisson administered the annual ritual of the Christmas cookie while the tiny revolving angels tinkled a delicate mes- sage of good cheer. Out- side, Mother Nature had frosted the land with a generous icing of snow. Coker's literary fes- tival was a highlight of the year. Guest speaker, Margaret Webster, not- ed director and actress of Shakespearean drama, presented to Co- ker students and guests her experiences in the field of drama and a realistic picture of Shakespeare and his works. The national magazine The Rectangle has pub- lished a great deal of work submitted by merr1b61'S from the Coker chapter.

By participating in the INTERNATIONAL RE- LATIONS CLUB students find help in reaching a better understanding of world problems. Each year a large group of students join I.R.C. indicating that a keen interest in world affairs is prevalent among the Coker student body. In the fall the new members are invited into the club at an international banquet featuring foods from all over the world. Upon admission each member takes the following pledge: I, realizing the seriousness of war and the neces- sity for that cooperation among nations which alone can make peace possible, do solemnly promise to study the relations among nations and to promote in myself and among others attitudes of sympathy and good will towards all peoples of the world to the end that understanding may produce peace. At their meetings club members strive to uphold the ideals of this pledge by seeking to discover the facts about current news of world-wide interest. With the help of Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, sponsor for I.R.C., the students then discuss the problem from all angles and try to obtain a clear picture of the whole sit- uation. This year I.R.C. has giv- en its members much ma- terial for fruitful discus- sion through its varied programs. A review of the book The Ugly American stimulated a very interest- ing discussion on our for- eign aid policies. Cther programs which gave many members an oppor- tunity to actively partici- pate in the meetings in- cluded such timely topics as the Space Age, com- mune life in China and capitalism versus communism. Interest in world affairs is a vital part of a good education and I.R.C. continually fosters this interest in its members.
