A DISCUSSION OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS BY THE EVIL SPIRIT AND THE GOOD SPIRIT Evil Spirit-Sophomore. Wise? Foolish? I wonder? The foolish seems to be the stronger in this class. I believe I can win them over. Good Spirit-No, you are wrong. I heard only the other day that they are straight-forward. Evil Spirit- Surely you know they are really obstreperous at times and are a great worry to their teachers. Good Spirit-I am sorry about that, but they do have such good times together, and they always do every- A thing as a class. QD Evil Spirit-Oli, yes, but have you heard the rumors that they are the most ditticult class in Kent? Good Spirit-Rumors! You know or should know that ru- 0 mors are always exaggerated. They really never intend to do wrong and are always sorry! V Evil Spirit-Sorry! I do have you there. Ot course you have heard what road is paved with good in- tentions. Good Spirit-Too late, too late: they are now, even as you speak, turning into Iuniors. -Mary Ann Martyr They've glamour, wit, and energy to spare. . . What class can top this combination rare?

BRE l -.- TS To think clearly, to speak sensibly, to act wisely this should be our motto at all times, and especially during the critical period of world turmoil today. Our lnternational Re- lations Club, larger and more active than ever before, has shown us how to carry out this motto. Under the able spon- sorship of Miss Badger the Club has held many lively but sane discussions on current affairs. One of their achievements this year was an election. ln polling places set up by the Club members, everyone voted for President of the United States, and for local officials. The vote was 74 to 7 in favor of Wendell Willlciel The climax of the Club's activities was attendance at the lnter-American Conference at Denver University. Girls from Kent represented Canada, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. For weeks they delved into stacks of books, prepar- ing to discuss, as experts, the political, economic, cultural, and defense problems of these countries. Kent had a repre- sentation of fourteen, a much larger percentage of pupils than other schools. Cur study of world affairs has given us a valuable back- ground tor further individual work, and has made possible cooperative group discussions. H tr.

The Lower School as well as the Upper School has had a better opportunity than ever before to extend their knowledge in singing and listening. ln addi- tion to Glee Club and Tuesday singing in assembly each week, there are music appreciation classes for both the Lower and Upper Schools. At Christmas time the members of the Glee Club were . asked to sing over KLZ. Kent had good reason to be proud . of their performance. The work the Glee Club has been ' 9 doing this year has consisted largely of three-part songs which they have sung before the school at Christmas time, during Poetry Week, in Chapel, and at May Day and Commencement. Though they can't be considered per- fect, under Miss Rasor's skillful direction they are certainly improving. Tuesday singing has become something the entire Upper School anticipates. We've not only learned many YJ new songs, but we've learned how to sing them. ln the music appreciation classes, the girls have learned how to recognize the different parts of a symphony as it is played. Suites, Concertos, and sonatas also have been subjects for analysis. The interest stimulated by our music activities has built an appreciation of lasting value for each one of us. On Tuesday morning you can hear us sing . . With lusty notes, Hey ding a-ding aedingf'
