'llllll llll ll'l'lll CLUB THE Aquatic Club completed its fifth year on campus with a true feeling of accomplish- ment, for it had carried out its aim with pre- cision. This aim is: to encourage interested girls to learn swimming techniques, and to provide those already proficient with a pro- fessional skill. Under the direction of the club moderator, Miss Katherine Comeau, all members made re- markable progress. The Freshman group, who were admitted early in the year after swimming tests, were soon enthusiastic aquabelles. At its weekly meetings, the Aquatic Club had both profitable instruction and practice, and, just as important, a perfect opportunity for recreation. The annual aquacade, which is an eagerly anticipated event, was a Swimphony this year, an execution of graceful and rhythmical patterns attuned to appropriate music. The club officers are: Patricia Farley, presi- dent, Adele Bullock, vice president, Betty Li- mont, secretary, Maureen Muth, treasurer. At the edge of the pool are the officers of the Aquatic Club.

l Although the girls in this group are known for their sense of humor, they prove by their expressions that they have a serious side too. PICTA lllll'l'llil PICTA MITRA is one of the oldest organi- zations on the campus, having been founded in 1925. lt derives its name from.the Latin, which translated means embroidered hat . The club was formed when the originator found an old hat of the garden variety of the l900's belonging to Mrs. Gould. The name of the club is borrowed from Juvenal, who wrote a satire on the elaborate head-dress worn by Eastern women. The officers are named appropriately, in accordance with the complete irregularity of the entire organization. They are called the crown, the vice crown, the brim, and the band. The first two officers are chosen from the senior class, while the latter two are selected from the junior class. The freshmen hold no office since they are not invited to join the or- ganization until the second semester. Seven members are chosen each year from the Freshman Class. The only requirements for membership are an extraordinary sense of humor and the ability to make people laugh. The most efficient laugh provoker has the best chance of eventually becoming the crown. The members of the club are considered the humor- ists of the college. Once a member of Picta Mitra one may never withdraw from the club. The officers are: Helen Hetherington, crown, Matilda DiStefano, vice crown, Mary Sullivan, brim, Florita Perini, band.
