oo THE CHRONICLE CHRISTMAS CONCERT The second Christmas Concert under the direction of Mr. Otto was held on December 17 with a large audience in attendance. The stage with its painted background, the girls in flowing gowns and the boys in dark suits moving as if by magic strings made a colorful setting for the concert. Participating groups in order of their appearance were the Band, Freshman Girls’ Glee Club, piano selections by William Gadd, Boys’ Glee Club, Brass Choir, A Cappella Choir, Girls’ (dee Club, and Orchestra. Much credit is due all who participated in the concert and to the committees that paved the way for its success. Esther Miller, ’39 MUSIC NOTES In addition to preparing for the annual run of concerts and festivals to take place in the spring, the musical groups have participated in several programs of local interest.

THE CHRONICLE 23 Bartholomew, I lelen Chernik, Philip D'Agostino, William Gadd, Morris Gel-blum, Ellen Habersang, Valerie Krajewski, John May, Ralph Roudi, Ruth Shookie, Charles Upham, John Kelenosy, and Robert Thompson. This is a new feature of the organization as the awards were formerly made at the close of the school year. It is now hoped to give the members an opportunity to wear their letters while still in school, thus adding prestige to the organization. John May, ’39 MR. PATTEN The students and faculty of Lyman Hall and his many friends are happy to see Mr. William H. Patten back at his pedagogical duties as instructor of economics and sociology, a post which he has held since 1929. Mr. Patten returned after a long period of convalescence at the Meriden Hospital and at his home in Montowese, following injuries received in an automobile accident on January 3. During Mr. Patten’s absence the vacancy was most ably filled by Mr. Quentin Sanger of Willimantic, who also willingly gave time and advice to the Debating Club of which Mr. Patten is the adviser. During his brief stay Mr. Sanger made many friends and proved a worthy substitute for the popular teacher. Morris Gelblum, ’39 MARION O’CONNELL Marion O’Connell has been chosen to represent Lyman Hall in the statewide competition for the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Pilgrimage to Washington, D. C. She has met the standards set up by the Daughters of the American Revolution—dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club, with its greatly increased number, has already held two intramural debates as preliminaries for participation in the state debate, which is the main event during the year. Two teams, each consisting of three speakers and an alternate, w ill soon be chosen for the debate with Meriden and Middletown in competition for the Florence M. Fisherdick Cup. Harriet Gelblum, ’ 10 STUDENT COUNCIL The students of Lyman Hall should be well pleased with their representative body, the Student Council, which is this year making rapid strides in the betterment of student-faculty relationships, general conditions within the school, and in the promotion of student activities. On February 16 the Lyman Hall Student Council acted as host to the Housatonic League Student Council Conference, which has been recentlv formed. Harriet Gelblum, ’40
