NEWMAN CLUB Officers of the Newman Club are Glenn Houghton, President; Robert O’Brien, Vice-President; Marion Schuster, Secretary-Treasurer; and R. E. Smith, Adviser. The Newman Club, organized in the Fall Quarter of 1935, is an or- ganization of all Catholic students in the D. S. T. C. This club sponsors dances and assembly programs among college students and within the col- lege. This year a study group was organized within the club, meeting once a month on a Sunday night. Prominent speakers were featured at each meeting, after which entertainment and refreshments were provided. The Communion breakfast has now become a tradition among the Newman Club members and is served during Lent. Much has been accomplished by this club in forwarding good co-opera- tion among the fellow students, socially and religiously. Twenty-eiprht

WOMEN’S LEAGUE The Women's League, an organization of all the women students in college, has, for the past year, been led in its various activities by Leora Brown, President; Lorraine Stuart, Vice-President; Marion Schuster, Sec- retary; Myrtle Mae Bahm, Treasurer; and the Misses Somers and Campbell. Early in the Fall Quarter the annual initiation ceremonies were held in the Assembly, at which time the Frosh girls became members of the group. During the year the League has sponsored several assembly programs. In the Winter Quarter they were hostesses at a Washington Tea, which was given for the mothers of the League’s members. The outstanding activity of the Spring Quarter was the annual Mothers and Daughters Ban- quet. Friendship, purity, and loyalty, which are symbolized by the League’s colors of Red, White, and Blue, is the aim which the Women’s League has endeavored to promote. Twenty-seven

ART CLUB The Art Club is an organization which gives training and practice to the students who have a liking for art work and wish to cultivate their abilities. Composed of two groups, the Sketch Club and the Sculp Club, the Art Club is under the supervision of Miss Beiler, Art instructor. The members of the Sketch Club are interested in sketching from life and still life, both human and animal drawings and paintings. In addition, much emphasis is placed on the sketching of landscapes with the result that many of the local scenes have been reproduced on paper by the students. The sketches are done in oil, ink, charcoal, chalk, and pencil. Each quarter the best works are bound and placed in the library. As officers the Sketch Club elected James Jewell, President; Gladys Dahlgren, Secretary; Myrtle Mae Bahm, Treasurer; and Verlie Fisher, Historian. In the other division of the Art Club, the Sculp Club, the objects of nature are reproduced in clay rather than on paper. All ceramic produc- tions are made from the clay found in this vicinity. Among the things turned out by this Club are ash trays, book-ends, vases, busts, and statuettes of animal and human figures. All production is performed by the coil and thumb methods. The officers of the Sculp Club are: Dugalda Langdon, President; Ethel Taylor, Vice-President; Anna Johnson, Secretary; Myrtle Johnson, Treas- urer. During the week of May 21-27 an Ait Exhibit will be held in room 311, at which time the work of the Art Club will be held on display. Twenty-nine
