It en- deavors to awaken an appreciation of and a love for good music, not only among its members but among all the students in the college. Among the social events scheduled for the year was a line party to the Midland Theater, shortly after the premiere opening. A Christmas party was given at which a song and dance revue was staged. Another line party was attended to Tony Sarg's Marionette Show. At the lirst of the year the programs consisted of the works of the American composers. Stories of the biographies of these men were presented by members of the club in conjunction with records of their pro- ductions. All of the programs have been in conjunction with the club's purpose and the girls feel that a great benefit has been derived from them.

The first part of the concert consisted of a formal program of violin and vocal solos, readings and selec- tions by the chorus. Part two was the singing and dramatizing of the Cantata, Pan, On a Summer Day. Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Cannon a beautiful rendition of this cantata established a reputation for the Teachers College Chorus. The time of the cantata is from the first glint of dawn to the rising of the full moon of a summer night, On this summer day Pan, the God of Nature, plays his pipes as the world awakes, now humming softly, now with bird calls. The l'Sunbeams steal over the hills to draw up the Dewdrops, resting on the downy pillows of Gossamer VVebs which are little bits of Night's trailing garments, torn off as she Hed. A 'lsummer shower ends abruptly as the raindrops,' begin to slacken. At noon, Pan, in the reeds by the river, lulls the world to sleep with the Song of the Bees. In the afternoon, during a Great Storm, Pan flies from the VVind and the Rain, After the storm, returning through the forest, Pan laments over a Mighty Oak Tree Fallen. In the twilight Pan pipes a l'Serenade to the myriad of dancing stars, only to hide in terror at the sight of the Slow Rising Moon. All sounds of nature CPanJ hush in breathless adora- tion to hearken to the music of the spheres in praise of Night Following is the cast of characters: Pau-Geneva Hilsabeckg Sunbeams-Helen Louise Scherer, Jean Marie Fulkerson, Merrilees Hortong Dew Drops-Geraldine Fitzgerald, Dorothy Ferguson, Frances Kypkeg Cob-VVebs-Leonora Switzer, Ruth Johnson, Dorothy Tusting Rain- drops-Maxine VVilson, Vivien O'Dell, Mary Kaufman, Christine Hubbardg Bees-Libby Phillips, Doris Timmons, Night-Irene Copeland.

During this first year of teaching the probationary teacher is under special supervision from the college. The supervisor of the intermediate and upper grades is Miss May B. Lambader. The real purpose of this program of supervision is to insure to the beginning teacher a greater degree of success in shorter period of time without the usual attendant discouragements. This supervision may be classroom visitation followed by conference with the teacher in which encourage- ment and helpful suggestions are given for improve- ment, or it may be a demonstration lesson by the supervisor. Many interesting activities have been carried out by the probationary teachers this year. One sixth grade class packed their belongings and went on a Medi- terranean cruise, bringing home souvenirs in the form of soap-carvings. Another activity, a Leisure Time Project, designed to encourage pupils to make worthy use of their leisure time was carried on in a fourth grade. Yet another probationary teacher accompanied her students on a trip to Japan. This activity, in which the contract idea was utilized was carried on in a platoon school by a social science teacher.
