C THE WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB provides a chance for all girls to join in the most Wonderful of all activities which is that of singing praises to our Lord. This year has been one filled with many memo- ries, blessings, and opportunities. We sang at many diilerent occasions away from school. We have also had opportunity to sing for the benefit of our friends ri ..-di, --k .xl if' A ' 5,1 and students here at Northern. The Christmas Musicale and the home concert were highlights of the year. The two Week-end tours taken through Indiana and Iowa were Hlled with much inspiration. This has truly been an eventful year and it is hoped that we, as in the past, can fulfill our aim of glori- fying God in song throughout many years to come. -Kaye Dwiggins WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB: Firri rofw-Mavis Sanders, Kaye Dwiggins, Presi- dent, Gertrude DcSpain, Librarian, Barbara Sanders, Shirley Olmsted, Betty Brown, Second ro-w-Carol Simpkins, Doris Olson, Secretary, Judy Dutton, Elaine Howard, Carol Radmacher, f'Iccomp1mi.rt,' Third rafw-Beatrice Selfe, Lois Binkley, Gail Ofloy, jane Bedwell, Kathleen Grant, Greta Kumlander, Sylvia Sikesg Edward Thompson, Dirnrtur. 37

THE NORTHERN WOMEN'S MISSION- ARY SOCIETY is an organization for the student wives and meets once a month. This organization has as its aim to better equip each member for her future Christian work with her husband, to acquaint her with the procedures of the American Baptist Women's Missionary work, and to provide an op- portunity for fellowship among the women on campus. Our theme this year was That Ye May Know Him. Half of our meetings featured special missionary speakers and plays presented by members of the group. The other half were workshops on planning a nursery, entertaining, music and the Woman herself. A new feature of our program was our Pixie Week, held in January. Mission displays were pre- pared by our missions committee and presented at our meetings and we had special missionary pen pals. Our Christian Service Committee conducted a work project during the summer-we refinished the chairs in the pre-kindergarten room and the study tables and chairs in llflabel White dorm. Two special events this year were our pot-luck supper in August and our first Sweetheart Banquet for the wives and their husbands on February 13. THE WILLIAM CAREY MISSIONARY SOCIETY is the organization which sponsors mis- sions on the campus. Programs are provided for the student body and faculty one Thursday night a month. Speakers come from many areas of the world to give the group ideas of opportunities, needs, and responses to the Gospel. The Society has planned one combined chapel service each month, featuring missionary speakersg each spring the Society is re- sponsible for a special work of missionary emphasis. In addition to the meetings on campus, the Society has sponsored Gospel Teams to Cook County Hos- pital, Baptist Home and Hospital in Maywood, and to three city missions. For the first time, the group has a chaplain calling in the immediate neighbor- hood. First rofw-L. Wilson, C. Smith, R. Peck, J. Brouse, B. Brown, V.P. Christian Service, L. Smithg Second rofw- M.
