A. at Teachers College is the Fellowship Club, which serves as an inspiration to all the students. Its aims are to further a spirit of .comradeship and to bring the spiritual values of life to its mem- bers. The club regularly provides the devotions for the assem- blies, and the Fellowship Loan Fund has been established by the club for the purpose of giving financial aid to students. Starting its season with a meeting at Camp Washita, the club continued its interesting programs during the year. At Christmas the mem- bers gave aid to a needy family and sponsored a most delightful tea for the entire student body and their parents. The officers for the first semester were: Wilma Papenhausen, president, Margaret Shirling, vice-president, Iewel I-Iuffman, secretary, and Alice Constance, treasurer. In spite of the fact that the Fellowship Club was always having its schedule upset by numerous activi- ties, the work was carried on enthusiastically by its members. A great deal of credit goes to Miss Ward and Miss McKay, ad- visers, for the successful attainments of this worthy group.

I CIIQLS' CI PF CI UB The Girls' Glee Club, one of the three musical organizations of Teachers College, was formed in l924. Under Miss Cannon's ca- pable direction, it has grown in membership and has developed an interesting repertoire, which consists of both sacred and sec- ular music. Through their Glee Club, the girls not only have the pleasure of working together, but they study good music, learn correct diction, breath control, and good articulation. They also acquire a poise and ease in singing that is invaluable, when, as student teachers, they find that they must teach a music lesson. As a climax to a year of study and several performances at assemblies and churches, the group sang at the commence- ment exercises-a commendable finalel May the melodies of these songsters long echo in the halls of our Alma Mater . . . ul-lear the birds sing-tra la la la la la lal The Men Make All the Difference MIXED Cl-ICIQUS Although the members had been rehearsing under Miss Cannon's direction for some time, the youngest musical organization of Teachers College was not officially established until the second semester. Then Miss Cannon found it necessary to use her great gift of cajolery in order to maintain the group's title. However, in spite of the conspicuous absence of the male members, the chorus did some creditable Work in presenting a group of se- lections at the Christmas program, and in programs in the as- sembly period and at one of the large churches. With the in- creasing enrollment of male stu.dents, the future holds great promise for a distinctive feature of the school-a HmiXed mixed chorus. i. l30l
