BIOLOGY CLUB Chlorophyl, sternum mastoids, nucleus, paramecium —such words as these thrill the Biology Club which is sponsored by Mrs. Suley. Unusually interesting programs have marked this club year. Reverend Schuster spoke on the relationship between Science and Religion,” and Father Westendorf described The Flooded Districts.” Their European trip of the previous summer was the topic of talks by Bill Irwin, Paul Lawrence, and Mark Woodward. Slides for these talks were shown by Bob Landis. Marjorie Harris gave A Missionary Talk on India” and Mrs. Suley discussed the intriguing subject, Life of the Seas.” The members likewise spent an informative day at the Planetarium in Chicago. In June the club (plus a few friends about whom it had been studying) gathered at Miller Beach for a sand-laden feast which furnished the climax to this active season.

The almost total lack of a sense of direction has sometimes caused Miss Stephens to lose herself when driving .... Miss Enoch ’s Greck-letter pins bear witness to her varied college activities .... Although her own library is mainly non¬ fiction, Miss Wheeler reads many novels .... For a number of years, Miss Sherrick studied voice in Chicago. The picture of Going to the Sun Mountain” in study hall is a particular favorite of Miss McWilliams, who has vaca¬ tioned near the spot .... Miss Davison drives her car so much that she has almost forgotten that trains still run .... The tractor on Mr. Goforth’s farm near Dana, Indiana, seems to be its chief attraction. Surely you’ve heard him speak of it! ... . Mrs. Flewelling somewhat hesitantly admits former residence in Van Buren, Arkansas, and acquaintance with the Burns family.

CHEMISTRY CLUB Who has not heard of the Chemistry Club? It springs to active life several times a year. The first event is the resurrection of officers from the club of the preceding year. Present leaders include President—Blaz Lucas, Vice-president—Dorothy Davies, Secretary—Madeline Scully, and Treas¬ urer—Robert McGhee. The worthwhile event, however, which justifies the existence of the club occurs at Christmas. Then all sorts of offerings are piled high in the chemistry room. Flour, sugar, canned goods and other foodstuffs mantle the desks; caps, sweaters and stockings drape the chairs; toys are scattered about the floor. On Christmas Eve, members of the club play Goodfellow and deliver these contributions, carefully stowed in baskets, to several needy families. There are very few hours that Mr. Holliday does not spend working problems in calculus .... A holiday and a fishing rod (with the possibility of a few fish) would please Mr. Whiteman beyond words .... Mrs. Suley is interested in house planning, and has very definite ideas concerning the house she would choose.
