DEAN Purpose To give every member a broader and more intelligent understanding and appre- ciation of music through the study of the background of famous compositions and by listening to good music. Activities One of the brightest higlilights of the club's activities was a three-day trip to New York City in order that the eighteen members who went might see the operas, Aida., at the Metropolitan and Rigoletto at the Hippodrome. Aside from seeing Elizabeth Rethbcrg, Norman Gordon and Richard Bonelli act in Aida., the club members visited Music Hall in Radio City and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Yon Pietro, famous organist, plays here. Some of the group heard Doctor Fosdick at the River- side Church on Sunday morning. In January thc Club sponsored the Jack Frost Frolic, which was held in the gym, transformed by bales and bales of imitation icicles which formed a glistening canopy over the entire floor. Reggie Sweet's Rhythm Boys presided and the affair was termed one of the best of the year. In early spring the Club sponsored a recital by two alumni students, Dorothy Larkin and Helen Yelton. Miss Larkin skillfully played several classical numbers at the piano and Miss Yelton, soprano., sang a variety of classical compositions. lllembers Barlett, Beach, Bcaman, Blundell, Bogue, Brewster, Burt, Campbell, Cook, Crounse, Dow, Hafner, Dibble, Hill, Humphrey, Kingsley, Moerchen, Murdock, Peterson, Pulver, Relyea, Roberts, Saxton, Scarborough, Schunerman, Scoville, Smithers, Tufts, Tuttle, lVallace. .?, + ft 'i
