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.

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
