The History Club Anything from Caesaris Cleopatra t0 XVinCL sons W'ally is discussed at a History Club soiree. This year, the History Club, under the leader- ship of Polly Hughes, had a very complete pro- gram both academically and socially. In the fall term there was a picnic to welcome new members into the club. The new members included one new faculty member, Mr. John Hall. Mr. Hall, taking the place of Miss Doro- thea Wyatt, is primarily an American History teacher and is the new head of the American Civilization Department. The informal atmosphere of a picnic made re- lations between students and professors lose their Classroom formality. Mr. Walker organized his all-girl baseball team. The hbaseball game has become a traditional and popular activity, asso- ciated with each fall picnic. After everyone had eaten the hot dogs and cokes, Dr. Stimson, the Clubs advisor, started a rigorous word game called Who, Me Sir. Miss Garth, hilarious as ever, was continually forgetting hcr numberaso consequently was always found holding up the rear guard of the line. A special treat was in store for all students during winter term. Mrs. Helen Meets, a noted authority on Japan, gave several lectures at Coucher. The History Club then entertained Mrs. Meers at a tea in Mary Fisher Drawing Room. The clubs varied activities are an integral part of any history majors life. 21

The yealjs events included the showing of several well known art films and the organization of a successful Art Colony which brought the members out of their attic rooms to exercise their creative talents. During the spring term, the club members sponsored a tea at which Mrs. Alfred Barr, a noted art critic, was guest speaker. The club members closed their program with an art show . . . their own exhibition. LAST, but not least . . . thafs the motto of the Music Club. This newest addition to the campus organizations was initiated at the request of a few students who were tired of listening to jazz and Iohnny Ray. They thought that Coucher girls interested in Music should have a Club of their own. The Erst club project was a round table dis- cussion of a comparison between art, music and literature. The Club sponsored movies and dis- cussed the presentation of an Operetta. The plans culminated in the grand and successful produc- tion of iKHansel and Gretel, by Humperdinck.
