This year of 1954 is the tenth anniversary of the founding of the History Club on campus. The History Club’s objective is to instill in its members an understanding of the relationship between past events and current life, and to help them view contemporary social problems . objectively. The most important action of the group this year was their field trip to New York and surrounding areas to visit musuems and places of historical interest.

During the school year the entire club also goes on a field trip and presents at least one public program. Above all, the Italian Club aims to foster a better appreciation of Italian culture and understanding traditions.

hs ae aan ae aan a “Into each life some rain must fall”. The Picta Mitra members do not believe in this old saw, and do their best to provide sunshine everywhere. The club had its beginning in 1925 when a group of Courtiers found an old but gay and omate hat which had belonged to Mrs. Gould. Taking the hat as a symbol the originators of the club founded the Court’s well-known humor society. Picta Mitra is an honorary society and the only requirements for membership are a good sense of humor and the ability to make others laugh. Each year, seven freshmen “Madcaps” are chosen as new mem- bers and the club carries on its fun-making traditions by providing various and unusual comedies for the amusement of the students. The officers are: Emily Balmert, crown; Mary McNicholas, vice- crown; Frances Gregory, band; Chloe Grande, brim; Sister Mary Patrice, grand tiara. Picta Mitra Front Row: B. Granito, G.
