Pentangle Club W'hatever the Pentangle Club has accomplished this year, 1931 and 1932, has been done with the sincere purpose to be of service, to the school as a whole, and to the community. The ofhcers were jean Sanders, president, Marion Legg, vice-president, jane Updike, treasurer, Amy Plochman, secretary. The Activities Committee, headed by Mary jane Thompson and Nancy Merrick, planned the November Pentangle Dance. This committee also sponsored .1 lecture by Miss Grace Humphrey at the january meeting, and a party, given in March, for the mid-year freshmen girls. A one-act play, An Alphabetical Romance , an original Christmas pageant by Alice Ann Kessler and Mary Lou Clausen, The Gift of Father Time , another play, Murder, Murder, Murdern by Babette Hughes, and a Fashion Show supervised by both the Activities and Entertainment Committees, provided the programs at the meetings. The Publicity Committee, headed by Jane Rogers and jane NX'ickersham, advertised the Pentangle Dance, and managed the sale of Pentangle Christmas cards. The Projects Committee with Edna Haas as chairman and Evelyn Iiolger as co- chairman, undertook the guiding of new students around the building during registra- tion week. Hostess work was accomplished by two girls, serving for one week, one period a day. They presided in the lobby to welcome visitors and to lend aid to the office. Tea has been served to the faculty in the lobby twice a week by this committee. The Social Service Committee was headed by jane Iredale and Betty Andrews. Aid was offered to the Cradel, Thrift House, and United Charities, and some of the girls served at the Cradel Maisonette and spent Saturdays working at Thrift House. Enter- tainments were given at the Illinois Old People's Home and the Swedish Old People's Home. Virginia Snyder headed the Needlework Guild, a group which has made about forty garments for babies, children, and women. One piece of work that must be credited to the club is the establishment of a scholarship to enable some senior girl to gain further education in her chosen field. It is the hope of the club that this scholarship may be the first step toward a wide and helpful work in the future.

The girls' band included -Iessie Brunger, Vfalma Martinmaki. Claudia Melberger, and Helen NX'clls. Seniors in the various glee clubs were Ifsther Bassoe. Dorothy Becker, Benjamin Gage, Donald Gardiner, Lowell Goodhue, jane Hueber, Mary McDonnell, Joseph Paddock, Vfilliam Prizer, and Albert Yarbrough. The school's annual operetta this vear was Gilbert-Sullivanls beloved l'inafore. Seniors who had leading roles in one of the two performances were: john Coolidge, Norma Ifrwin, Benjamin Gage, Lowell Goodhue, Helen McCrearv, George Miller, Charlotte Mitchener, joseph Paddock, Vfilliam Priler, Donald Stevens, lillen Voigts, Virginia Vi'ells, and Aubrey Vfhittemore. A picked orchestra selected from the regular orchestra members worked with the chorus to produce this favorite operetta. A Music Club was organized this year bv the music department. Charter member- ships were extended to those receiving credit for outside music study. I-n the club were the following twelve seniors: Clarence Aberg, Norma lirwin, Bettie Harvey, Luther I.iden, Iflsie Lindemann, Charlotte Mitchener, Margaret Pearson, Gardner Read, john Sass, Phvllis Strong, Lorene Swihart, and Iflilabeth w'illl.1I'HS. An accompanying class was also begun this year Linder the direction of Mrs. Shearer. Bettie Harvev, Helen Pratt, and Gardner Read took advantage of this opportunity tc be coached in the art of accompanying. The theory a-nd appreciation classes under Miss Rafferty were well represented by seniors. In the original composition concert in the spring, Gardner Read and Virginia NVells presented their own works, the one a group of orchestral pieces, and the other an operetta. Thus one hundred and two seniors have learned to know and appreciate music for what it is worthg to know its relaxation after a tedious struggle with theorems and French idioms, and to appreciate its influence in their everyday life.

Girls' Athletics The business of the G.A.A. for the second year was carried on by .1 board consisting of the officers and sport heads. This year the president was Anna Weber. She has most ably led the association in all its activities, and has taken care of any matters that have arisen concerning girls' athletics. Aside from having earned her Major E and Honor Star, Anna received a coveted ayvard, the Honor Pin, at the close of her junior year. During her four years she has won every letter except one, and has been especially interested in hockey and soccer. In the position of first vice-president Helen Watt has done much to promote the interests of the club, taking charge of the publicity campaigns and being active in all sports, especially basketball and track. Esther Bassoe, second vice-president, has held a responsible position as chairman of the numerous heads of sports. The other executive officer of this year's board has been Lois Borre, who, as secretary, has done a considerable amount of work for the association. All of these girls have earned both Major E's and Honor Stars. The rest of the board consists of girls who act as heads of sports i-n their respective seasons. This winter found Veronica johnson once again managing basketball, the most popular sport. She has been a great success in this capacity. Virginia Bode a-nd Ruth Holmberg, directors of riflery and volleyball, were capable leaders in their respec- tive departments. Last Spring Dorothy Green and Betty Makemson conducted the activities of basket- ball and tennis, and Betty won the tennis championship herself this year. In cooper- ation with Alice Anne Kessler, who is also head of dancing, Isabel Boal managed track in an efficient manner. The minor sports program has been conducted throughout the year by Roberta Ostrand, and last year by another senior, Lucille Jacobson. An interesting addition to the girls' activities this year was the archery workshop, in which Helen McMillen has been especially enthused, and which has been made a major sport. Although she did not hold office in the G.A.A., Alberta Hofstetter has shown exceptional athletic enthusiasm throughout her four years. Another steady supporter of the G.A.A. has been Edith Hammar, who has come out for many sports, but has found greatest pleasure in soccer and basketball. G. A. A.
