In this, the first year of peace since that fateful Sunday, December 7, 1941, the Current Events Club, composed of seniors and juniors, launched a program designed to make its mem- bers more conscious of the problems facing the world in this post-war era. By round table discussions of such topics as The United Nations Charter, International Cartels, Relations between Labor and Capital, and other questions of vital importance, the Club sought to create a more intelligent understanding of world affairs. In addition, field trips were taken to a session of the Massachusetts State Legislature, where the girls saw government in action, and to the news rooms of the Herald-Traveler. The officers for this year included Margaret Murphy, Chairmang Diane Finn, Secretary: and Margaret Single, Treasurer. They were assisted by a program committee which included Estelle Berman, Barbara Enman, Katherine Welch, Hanni Erentheil, and Ann Gourdin. Miss O'Connor was the friendly, enthusiastic leader.

Classical Club This year has shown the true interest of the girls in the Classics. The Classical Club was enthusiastically revived under the able and much appreciated guidance of Miss Stark. At the first meeting, an election of officers was held in which Esta Greenberg became Praeceps, Nancy Beaton, Pro-prwceps and Barbara Wilson, Scriba et Aerarii Praefectua. Plans were made that day, too, for the Christmas meeting, a Roman Saturnalia, which featured toga-clad girls, satires on Roman myths, punch and gingerbread cookie refreshments and the choosing of Roman names. Among the many projects undertaken by the girls was the furnishing of a miniature Roman house. When this was completed by the skillful hands of Cynthia Marks, Grace Kiley, and Irene Roman, it was put on display in Room 30 and aided us in setting the scenes for the story of Dido and Aeneas. An outstanding event during the season was a radio discussion on the subject, Have the Classics a Place in Post-War Courses? . The problem was discussed by Dorothy Smith, Judith Gordon, and Esta Greenberg, with Rose Kurhan as mediator. The discussion was broadcast through Station W EEI on January 22, 1946. The girls of the Club take most pride in The Classical Corner, which has been established in Room 30 in co-operation with the A. G. Simmons Classical Club Fund of former years. The Classical Corner consists of a display table, lamp, comfortable chair, and shelf to be used to stimulate more interest in the Classics at Girls' Latin School. A E551
