The purpose of the organization is to hear opinions and requests from either faculty or students: to consider them and come to conclusions most beneficial and suitable to all concerned. Problems arising are settled in the interest ol all: and the rules and regulations of the school are enforced. Such a democracy has proven satisfactory in the past and in the present. 20 Sealed: Boulden. Mrs. Bush Brown. Standing. Mr. Bush Brown. Yolie. Murphy. II. Ward. Mrs. Matthews. .

Social S( ervice I he Social Service ( Iub has heen organized to help others who are in need and not quite so fortunate as we are. I his year, with the cooperation of Mrs. Bush-Brown, we raised money for various projects by giving the “Harvest I lop” dance, raffling off a turkey and having an auction as our main events. Our projects started in the beginning of the year by sending a sum of money to greet the Friendship train in Philadelphia. This was followed by sending 85 Christmas stockings to children overseas. In addition to these we also supported a small school house in the Southern mountain area of this country through the Save the C hildren Federation. 24 [Reading and CD iscusston Club The Reading and Discussion Club gratefully acknowledges the kind leadership and guidance of Mrs. Bush-Brown, its founder. A memorable evening spent sharing favorite poems started a series of meetings intended to waken new interests in many difterenl fields. Included in these meetings were an account of his professioal cases presented by Dr. Steinbach. the school veterinarian; an ' open meeting given by W illiam ( leveland on his experiences with the Service (. ivil in Italy: and a lecture on goats given by Mrs. I aylor. The purpose of the club throughout the year has been to seek knowledge and understanding concerning new topics of common interest. This purpose has definitely been accomplished with discussions on various subjects such as current events, religion, animals, and many others. First rotr: Hanna. Horne, Parsons, Gelb, 11.

With endeavor, in good time, one may distinguish tones and keys. I he bell, the windowpane, the cuckoo—seek to discover what tones they produce. Certainly this years Music Club has been successful in increasing our knowledge of line music ol the great masters and of I he lesser known composers. Friday evenings became red letter evenings from the beginning of September to June. I he members could be found relaxed in the recreation room listening to some of the works by such well known composers as Tschaikowsky. Gershwin, Beethoven and many others. Marian s selection of records never lailed to bring great enjoyment to everyone. We sincerely hope that this great asset of music appreciation may continue in (uture years. hirst row: 1 lorne.

A sonorous voice is a most precious gift bestowed by I leaven and should he cultivated immediately. I he Glee Club had the privilege of having such voices as mentioned above and has had the line altitude and endeavor that makes a chorus successful. The Glee Club presented several lovely selections during the Christmas banquet which was given Decembr II. A soprano solo was sung with great proficiency by Sarah While. On the 24th of April the Glee Club, now known as the Seasonal Singers, gave their second Spring Musical under the direction of Carol Whitenack. The Philadelphia Musical Festival, given by well-known musicians, was the most outstanding event of the year for the ( dee Club. 28 I he popularity of ihe Riding C lul has increased greatly in membership during the past few years. The pleasure received from belonging lo this club is great in quantity and quality. Many of the girls enjoy cantering throu gh the neighboring woodlands and fields, on pleasant spring mornings and cool autumn afternoons. I he fascinating ring of steel upon stone is like music to the ear of the horse lover. The club now boasts l four line horses — Nellie. Snowball. June, and Chance plus adorable little Dollie. the tiny, sweet Shetland pony. I hey all provide the girls with both fun and pleasure. A few of the projects for last spring included white washing the riding ring, painting the stable, visiting a few horse larms, and spending a full day at the Devon I lorse Show. First row1: Bush.

The main purpose for the organization of the Dairy Club is to give its members a better chance to observe and study various breeds of cattle. The club may sound exclusive to Ag students only, but many of the broad-minded Landscapers and Horts find time to join in on the fun also. Ruth Wamken was elected president last fall and has done a marvelous job in organizing tours to nearby dairy farms. October 4th, Field Day. the club members were hostesses to the Bucks County Jersey Association, at the school. The American Jersey Cattle Club sale at Harrisburg was one of the most outstanding trips of the year. 30 Sooted: Horne — editor. Bush — associate ccJilor. Heyser--reporter.

Despite the weather we had a beautiful May Day program in the dining room. Gifts of (lowers and animals were presented to Queen Alice; followed by her coronation by Vivian Murphy, the maid of honor. The Junior Court presented a lively folk dance in honor of the queen; followed with a humorous play, “The Pied Piper of I lamelin” performed by the town villagers. The Royal Court and the villagers were led out by the Pied Piper as the town songsters gayly sang W ith Sounds of Pipes. Flute, and Drum. ’ 33 Calendar of S vents me September 23 School opened.
