Lee Mc- Cabe then took his seat of office and delivered an ex- ceedingly interesting and well prepared speech on Ex- plosivesf' Ecclesia Do you realize that the girls of this school, or to speak more properly some of the girls are becoming very well informed, besides having excellent practice in parliamentary law and in speaking before an au- dience? All this is due to Ecclesia. At every meet- ing we all obtain a great deal of information. The last two programs have been on music, and they have been interesting as well as very instructive. Esther Schroeder was chairman of the day, on the 17th of February. Her paper was on Wagner, and af- ter telling us of his life, she related the story of Thanhauser to us. Aileen Jones gave a delightful piano solo, and Lorraine White spoke most interest- ingly on the History of Music. A paper about Beethoven was read by Gertrude Lewis and one on the U. of M. songs by Minnie Hirschfield. The program closed with a vocal solo by Harriet Gustin. On March 2nd Agnes Diehl, the chairman of the day, was ill, so Ruth Chapman took the chair during the program. The meeting was carried out in a very pleasing manner. The girls realized the value of par- liamentary practice, when they saw a program pro- gress with such ease even in the absence of the chair- man. The subject of the day was Great Opera Sin- gers. Mildred Beckman gave a fascinating talk on Melbag Arzula Adams spoke of Geraldine Farrar, and Sarah Koch, of Louise Homer. Thelma Yeager gave a delightful piano solo.
