Their program, under the able guidance of Miss Earle, consisted of monthly meetings at which there were discussions and debates, inter-school debates, and a declamation contest. Ellen Gavin, IIB2, again was selected to represent the Girls' Latin School in the city- wide contest. The first inter-school debate was held on December 4, the opposing team being from the Public Latin School, and the subject, Resolved, that Massachu- setts should adopt a Unicameral Legislature, Jean Towhill, Virginia Ber- nard, and Ellen Gavin supported the negative. Eleanor Marcus delivered the rebuttal. The sophomores were given an opportunity to prove their ability in a de- bate against the Roxbury Memorial High School for Girls, naming as a sub- ject, Resolved, that the government should control public utilities. Charlotte Slesinger, Helen Meltzer, and Bernice Lewis supported the affirmative. Again a Girls' Latin School debating team proved a difficult opponent in the debate with Reading High School on the subject, Resolved, that Congress should have the power to override the decisions of the Supreme Court by a two- thirds vote. Nanette Goldstein, Eleanor Driscoll, and Alice Murphy defended the negative of the issue, with Bette Berman, delivering the rebuttal. Probably the most successful meeting of the year was the last one. at which a mock-trial, written by Virginia Bernard and Adele Torf, was presented by mcmbers of the club. fpage Sixty-two?

Girls' Latin School THE ART CLUB Four years ago, the .Art Club was established to supply training and en- joymcnt for many eager art-starved Girls' Latin School girls. To this depart- ment of the Athenian Club they came to learn the practical and aesthetic phases of art. There were two divisions: the drawing and painting group, which met once a week to do designs, still life, and sketches of human poses: the crafts group, which also met once a week, to accomplish a great deal in cutting metal bracelets and paper knives, painting bowls, and making plaques. In March the Club held its first spring carnival, which raised a substantial fund for buying art materials. And, towards the end of May, an exhibition and tea, to which the faculty and the relatives and friends of members were in- vited, was held in Collins Hall. Our Art Club is one of the most active branches of the Athenian Club. Long may its paint brushes wave! THE DRAMATIC DEPARTMENT The Dramatic Department has always been one of the most popular branches of the Athenian Club. It offers excellent training in voice, expression, gesture, and acting for those who are interested in dramatics. Every other year the club presents an important play for which all the members of the three upper classes have an opportunity to try out. This year, being the year for the operetta, we put on two small plays for the members of the club only: Priscilla Alden's Tale, a Thanksgiving play, which was pro- duced by the fifth and sixth classses under the direction of Dorothea Levenson: and Uplifting Sadie, a gay, rollicking comedy, put on by the third and fourth classes, headed by Catherine Healy. The Dramatic Department is very proud of one of last year's outstanding members, Beatrice Belis, who won a scholarship at the annual try-outs given by the dramatic section of the New England Conservatory. We are competing again this year and hope that some lucky member of our school will win again. May the Dramatic Department continue its fine work and help to put many more young and aspiring artists on the road to success. THE LITERARY SECTION The members of the Literary Section are few, thus making the meetings informal and pleasant. We meet approximately once a month to discuss lit- erary subjects of common interest. We have treated Cnot too deeplyj such widely diversified subjects as Thornton Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey and the tales of the Wagnerian operas. Under our prying noses have also come Good-bye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton and a history of the Tris- tram legends, and we were delighted one day to have Miss Tahmizian read to us from Edwin Arlington Robinson's 'lTristram. We have even gone back to ancient times-just far enough to discuss the Greek tragedies. After the regu- lar meeting is over, we sit and talk, sometimes about books. sometimes about anything. Altogether we have had some very enjoyable afternoons. CPage Sixty-fourj
