Thomas and Meras opened one of the most successful years in Les Cabo- tins' history with a hilarious skit on Modern Art.

There followed a song and dance act by the Four Dumb Waiters . In the winter term Les Cabotins spon- sored an address by M. Henri Peyre, Sterl- ing Professor of French at Yale. A dance with Bradford junior College and a mock French class made up the lighter side of the Club's winter activities. The term ended on a dramatic note with a play by Mr. Thomas called Coupable? , given before a capacity crowd in the Little Theater. ps N. Fun for the Kiddies LES CABOTINS First Row: Roop, H.

Thoenen Secretary: Sean Sweeney Adviser: R. H. Bates I Discussion this year in the Lantern Club has been limited to poetry and the novel. This has been the result of a greater inter- est in these subjects by the members of the club. The club has been less active this year than last and there have been fewer out- side speakers. The years activity started with a talk by Mr. Stevens on the Metal physical Poets. The following week lvlr. Stookey led an informal discussion on journ- alism. Mr. Bernard DeVoto, the noted critic, spoke to the club on the Twentieth Century Novel and Mr. deLancey of the French Department outlined the develop- ment of the French Novel. Later in the year Mr, Curwen read some poetry and dis- cussed the life of A. E. Housrnan. Although there have been fewer speakers this year the interest of the group in literature has been far above the normal level. lll8l

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY COUNCIL First Row: Head, Steele, W. Richards, I. Hunt, Schieffelin. Second Row: Snyder, Swan, Mr. Hogg, Merriam, Henkels. COUNCIL President: Whitman A. Richards Vice President: C. Robertson Trowbridge Advisor: Mr. Hogg Under the new constitution, the Scien- tific Society has become more unified. Since only one amendment has yet been enacted, the new constitution seems to be very workable. Through sponsoring bi- weekly meetings, the individual groups have become more prominent in the activi- ties of the Society. The student lectures and the impressive demonstrations given at these meetings have stimulated greater in- terest in the sciences. AERONAUTICS GROUP This year, the Aeronautics Group has not been as active as its members would have liked. Meetings have been held, however, and the members have flown some planes on Sunday afternoons. Both the cage and the baseball diamond have been success- fully used as landing fields. Competition between members in both the control-line and free-flight classes has been held. When last seen, the club was flying south. ASTRONOMY GROUP President: Thomas Merriam Adviser: Mr. Brinkerhoff This year, as usual, the Astronomy Group met for lecture and reports of observations, through which much was learned about rockets, early astronomy and religion, and the science of astrology. Members did a little star-gazing with the help of Mr. Brinkerhoff's astro-com- pass and telescope. An observatory has been constructed on the roof of the Science Build- ing containing a six inch telescope. The stars were still there. ll2Ol
