THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President . L. L, TIEMEYER lst Vice President , L. T. JORDAN 2nd Vice President H. CURTIS Secretary-Treasurer , . , B. M. AVERY HE Student Government Association has completed another active year, and its accomplishments have been significant of its purposes. During the past months the Association has succeeded in solving several problems which have been subjects of discussion and dissension for some time past. First it procured keys for all rooms in Maxwell Hall, a sore need sad to say. Next it revised and enlarged upon the Welcoming Ceremony for the newly- capped and gave to the school the lamp to be used in this rite. The Asso- ciation has been especially pleased that it was able to present to Miss Young this Florence Nightingale lamp, and we feel that it is a gift to be cherished and used by all students in succeeding years. A new committee has been established to fulfill the needs of the Hall, a Music Committee, whose duty it is to provide talent for entertainments and to insure a 'pianist at prayers each morning. In order to gain coopera- tion with other groups as far as possible the president of the Glee Club is automatically elected chairman of the committee. This past fall the Association sent its President as its delegate to the New York State Nurses' Convention held here in New York and in addition financed the presence of six other members of the school at certain sessions. We feel that the contacts made herein were worthwhile and interesting, The many and various committees of the Government have worked tire- lessly at their individual tasks, and the Hall has been enlivened by the tunes of three very successful formal dances sponsored by their members, our last and finest being the Christmas dance. The Lending Library, passing its first birthday, has surpassed the fondest hopes of its founders. Our kitchen- ettes have come to mean more than just a cupboard for pots and pans- there's food on them thar shelves! ' And now one more joy is about to be added to life in Maxwell Hall, Senior students are to be granted the privilege of owning radios and a project is under way for wiring the rooms of the lOth and I Ith floors, to gain better reception, prevent a fire hazard, and further our antienoise campaign. We have now spent our last days as members of the Student Govern- ment Association and proudly proclaim that the past year has been a success- ful one. To the councel of our officers and the loyal support of our School do we owe this success. May others to come enjoy like benefits by their membership. Thirty-three

THE MAXWELL HALL DRAMATIC CLUB HIS year the Dramatic Club has enlarged its enrollment from 25 to 50 members, in response to a wide-spread interest in its activities. It has enlarged its program correspondingly. The year began with a lecture and demonstration on theatrical make-up by a representative of Elizabeth Arden. A make-up washup followed this program. Special effort is being made this year to give instruction and actual practice in such features of dramatic production as make-up, lighting, costuming, staging, characterization and even in writing. Each meeting of the Club is planned to bring something of value, as well as enjoyment, to the members. Plans for the year include a Christmas pageant and ci Spring play. 0 GLEE CLUB LEE CLUB is a comparatively new organization of Maxwell Hall, and represents an answer to the desire of our students for some form of musical education within the Hall. On November I8, I936 the Glee Club made its initial bow to the public in the form of a Musical Evening. At this time there was presented a pro- gram of folk songs, rounds and lullabies, and several numbers by a guest cellist. Christmas activities were enlivened by a joint program given on December 23rd, by the Dramatic and Glee Clubs. Musical arrangements accompanied the play While Mortals Sleep, after which a varied program of carols were sung. I FORUM CLUB OFFICERS Faculty Adviser MISS RUTH WILLIAMS President MISS RUTH MARKUSON Vice-President . MISS MARY EDWARDS Secretary-Treasurer MISS ANNE LEWIS Recording Secretory MISS MAY GOHEEN HE Forum Club this year has been organized on a somewhat different basis from that of previous years. For more effective discussion, the group of members has been limited to twenty-five. At each meeting various topics of general interest have been presented, such as the Child Labor Amendment, Disarmarnents, Political Parties and Platforms, and Commu- nism vs. Fascism as seen in the Spanish situation. At an open meeting Miss Harris of China spoke on her work in nursing in that country. Lively dis- cussions have been participated in by each member at the meetings. Thi ffv-four
