Panel discussions and lectures aimed at promot- ing recognition and understanding of world prob- lems provided an interesting and varied program for the History Club during the past year. Topics were designed to cover two areas: those that are not fully developed in the curriculum at Coucher, and those of general appeal to any student of history. The club provided an opportunity for the depart- 29 mental majors, faculty, and any others interested in the field to meet informally, especially over open fires at the annual picnic. New majors were also welcomed at a tea during spring term. AS a branch of the Associated Social Science Clubs, the History Club sponsored joint programs with the other mem- ber groups. Among these was the Foreign Students, Dinner given on United Nations Day.

In the past year the Economies7 Sociology and Anthropology Club was able to expand its program by joining with the Political Science and History Clubs to form the Associated Social Sciences Club, an organization with its own chairman, program, and meetings. At the same time, however, the Eco- nomics, Sociology and Anthropology Club retains its separate identity, dues and smaller meetings. An interesting program this year was a joint meeting with the Psychology Club, at which the nationally known movie, aThe Quiet One, was shown. This provided us with the chance to meet With other clubs not usually associated with our field of interest. Some of the Clubis other functions included small meetings with speakers and a panel discussion prin- cipally referring to economics. The events of the year were terminated with a picnic for the entire club and the new major students. political science club 3', 1 s Seated on floor, left to right: L. Supplee, S. Michelson, J.

The year 1956-57 provided an overwhelming amount of material for the discussions of the Poli- tical Science Club. This organization is concerned primarily with topics relative to national and world affairs. This year we devoted our time to the national election and debates on the critical areas of the world. We strove to f urther school-wide par- ticipation by sponsoring elections with voting ma- chines and an assembly program with a panel dis- cussion 0n the past and present status of the major political parties. With these functions and active club debates we have aided in fostering a broad interest in a current and potent field.

Monahan. future teachers of umericu The fall of 1956 found a new organization on campus; the former Education and Child Develop- ment Club was replaced by the Goucher chapter of Future Teachers of America and the National Edu- cation Association, on the national level. The change greatly benefited individual members of the group7 for it gave each education major a close tie with her future profession through the NEA journals she received throughout the year. Three members of the group also attended the FTA Con- vention at Towson State Teachers College in Janu- ary and learned much about the workings of other chapters in Maryland. During the year guest speakers brought to the group stimulating recounts of work in phases of 30 special education, dealing with mentally and physi- cally retarded children, and the Calvert School pro- gram as it is used throughout the world. Tying in with this accent on specialized teaching, the chapter sponsored, in conjunction with several other Clubs on campus, the film, ttThe Quiet One:9 which deals With the counselling of an emotionally disturbed boy and his gradual recovery. The year closed with a tea for new Education and Child Development majors, and a picnic at Donnybrook. The officers for the year were Lynn Denny, president; Carolyn Dittmar, Vice-president; Judith Banker, secretary; and Grace Glenn, treasurer. Faculty advisor was Mrs. Beulah Tatum.
