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.
