THE CHRONICLE Library Notes Each pupil has been presented with an attractive book list for his future convenience. This was made possible by the efficient efforts of the Office Practice Department and the kind assistance of Miss Disken. The illustrations were contributed by William Toth, Ruth Sawtell, and Robert Apple-gate. Miss Clark has already introduced us to the book list; so it is not necessary to explain any further the contents of it, but it might be of interest to you to know some of the favorite books among the boys and the girls. The boys seem to enjoy most the adventure and mystery stories. Aviation also rates high as a favorite. I Wanted Wings by Bierne Lay, Jr., a book recently published, is by far the favorite with the boys. Twenty thousand Years in Sing Sing, An American Doctor’s Odyssey, Brother Rat, a play, are constantly on reserve. The girls prefer a lighter type of literature. They like novels such as Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Little Minister by J. M. Barrie, Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson, and The Forgotten Daughter by Caroline D. Snedeker. There are a number of these types of books for the girls to choose. Make the most of this opportunity of possessing a book list of your own. Read books that are not only a pleasure but are also educational. If you heed this advice, you will find that your leisure time is spent for a worthy cause. Carolyn Masoni, '40

THE CHRONICLE 17 Junior College Club The regular meeting of the Junior College Club was held on January 11 at the home of Jessie Latto. Plans for the dance were discussed, Marjorie Tomlinson, Jean Morrison, Petty Young, and Joyce Sheehy making valuable contributions to the discussion. Refreshments were served and games were played. Jean Cot£, '39—Secretary The Junior College Club Dance On January 22. in the high-school gymnasium the Junior College Club held its annual dance, always considered one of the social high-lights of the school year. The decorations were unusual and attractive — penguins of all sizes were prominent in the decorative scheme of evergreen trees, glittering snow banks, blue and silver coloring, and amber lights. Sebastian’s Orchestra provided the music for the dancing, which included the following novelty dances — the penguin elimination dance, the Antarctic stamp, and the South Pole, which was just one grand, glorious shower of white confetti coming from snow balls, which had been distributed with horns and whistles. The patronesses were Mrs. Earley, Mrs. Jeffords, Mrs. Young, Mrs. Cote, Miss McCaffery, and Miss Clark. The huge success of the dance was largely due to the efforts of the committees who worked with Miss Clark and the committee chairmen— Barbara Cooper, Phyllis Kern, Betty Young, and Barbara Bonnardi. Barbara Cottrill, ’40 — o — The Daubers On January 26, The Daubers with the little Daubs enjoyed a very interesting trip to the Meriden Trade School to see an exhibition. Silver-ware, ten-minute life sketches, flower studies, Greek and Ancient Egyptian Art, and all phases of Commercial Art were shown. This trip proved very inspiring to the club. The club has its regular meetings on Wednesdays and has added many new Daubs to its membership. At present we are all working for a Scholastic Contest. Barbara Cooper, ’38—Secretary
