Tb L? puncheon Chib With idea of service paramount among its aims the infant E. M. N. S. when barely twenty days old organized its now famous Luncheon Club. This club meets each Wednesday at 12:15 in the dining room of the Millings Commercial Club for the weekly luncheon of the student bod and the faculty. Kach week a chairman and three assistants are selected to prepare the program for the following week. The present permanent officers of the club arc Carlyle St. John, president; Iva Stevens, vice-president; and Margaret Nelson, secretary. I he meetings open with the singing of the Dovology In the student body followed by the song “ The more we are together.” After this the guests are introduced and announcements are made. Since these meetings constitute our weekly general assembly our programs are necessarily varied and range from the learned discourse to the impromptu performances reeking with wit and repartee indicative of the atmosphere of happy social contact. Dorothy Erickson has acted as song director and under her inspiring leadership our voices have united in singing the songs beloved hv the student body. Of these Just Around the Corner , and “Blue. Yellow, and Stone, remain the favorites. Many and varied have been the musical programs contributed for our enjoyment by members of the Women's Glee Club of the E. M. N. S.. faculty members, and tlie musical artists of Hillings and its vicinitv. Mam have been the entertaining and instructive talks given for our benefit by educators, social workers, and professional people who have come our way and tarried with us for a social hour. Hut among all our luncheon festivities four events are outstanding. The first of these was the interesting dinner rendered Vilhjalmur Stefansson, boyhood friend of Professor N. C. Abbott, and now one of the most famous explorers, authors and lecturers of the arctic regions. While our guest he cleared up in his matter-of-fact treatment of that chilly region mam erroneous ideas treasured by those ignorant of the true facts. The second big event was the graduation exercises in honor of vetta Pemberton, M is. Beatrice Burke Garr. and Mack Monaco, who graduated in December. Inspiring talks by Dr. McMullen and Prof. Leon R. Foote, special music, and presentation of diplomas comprised the program. A third event which will go down in the annals of the K. M. N. S. was the entertaining of about twenty members of the state legislature. They had a good chance to observe us as we went about our daily routine and seemed appreciative of our aims and efforts in the face of odds. On March 27 the Luncheon Club had the good fortune to have as guests, the noted composer, Charles Wakefield Cadman, and Madame Florence Heeler. Preceding the luncheon Madame Heeler sang several selections and during the program Mr. Cadman regaled us with his plans for his visit to Alaska in the near future. Other guests on this occasion were members of the music department of the Woman’s Club and members of the school board. 1271
