tet. The Spring Concert by the Glee Clubs and Orchestra was very successfully given on two nights. The grand climax was the number Turn Back O Man by Holst, when both Glee Clubs sang, accom- panied by the Orchestra. The high spots of the choral concert Wfere a duet by Anne Brewer and Jo Ross, and the announcement by Miss Faulkner that Constance Foss would receive the music prize for the second year.

It was a great treat for us when Miss Tanner, headmistress of Rodean, and Miss Moore of Queen Anne's, Cavisham, visited Milton. Miss Tanner spoke to us for a few minutes, and by describing a typical day at Rodean, gave us a vivid picture of life in an English school. We were interested to hear of the different opportunities the girls have of following their own interests, and of the way all of their time is organized. One day in Current Events. after talking briefly about the re- cent strikes, Miss Kendall gave the floor to Kay Hallett, who, with perfect poise, continued the description of Palestine, which was the subject of her talk the day' before. She answered all our questions with ease and quite amazed us with her professional manner. Since then we have been discussing world problems:-lynching in this country, the siege of Bilbao, and the revival in Ireland of the old Celtic language, Gaelic. ' Mr. Keith, head of a Brockton shoe factory, outlined for us the history and development of shoe manufacturing, and illustrated by moving pictures the importance of wearing correct shoes for different occasions. We were highly entertained fwhenever we could understandl by Capitaine Vicard, the French fencing master, who told us stor- ies of famous duellists, and who then presided, while Frances Fos- ter, Eleanor Kammerer, and his st-ar pupil gave us exciting illustra- tions by short matches. Our interest in art has been stimulated by two entirely diHerent types of lectures. Mr. Eliot Putnam, the Boston architect, talked about New England houses. Starting with Egyptian, and working up through Greek, Roman, Romanesque, Renaissance and Modern Art, he showed in just which periods Form Follows Function, and then how each of these styles contributed something to the New England house. In contrast to this, Miss Cook gave an illustrated lecture on art inspired by only one period, the last week of Christ's life. After- wards she put some of the pictures up in the Goodwin Room so that We could study them at closer range. Other exhibitions have been: some etchings by Abby Winch Christensen CMilton, 19053 of places in Beau- fort, South Carolina: some mounted pictures from the Spaulding Col- lection: and one of Modern Architecture, planned by four members of the History of Art class, covering Churches, Expositions, Public Buildings, Skyscrapers, Houses, and Slum Clearance. We ourselves have not been the only ones to provide music. Mrs. English and Mrs. Titcomb entertained us delightfully when they played on two pianos the Rachmaninoif Concerto in C Minor, Number 2. We have also had the pleasure of hearing once more the Chardon Quar- the magus I page amy five i-1 ,i.... .-ll-1-i il.l s
