E. O ' Brien, M. Gordon, A. Lewis, M. Bryan Sigma Tau Phi, comprised of Latin and Greek Majors, held elections early in the Fall, and Eileen O’Brien emerged President, with Althea Lewis, Mary Gordon, and Mary Bryan filling the other positions. In Regis Hall, a November acquaintance party for the Freshmen was held, during which the first issue of Res Litterarum was distributed. At the Christmas Party, the classical cup was quaffed and Saturnalia reigned supreme under the chair- manship of Eileen O’Brien. When Aeolus was holding forth unchallenged, a March gathering convened, and Anne Sullivan, Constance Carell, and Althea Lewis conducted a discussion on Roman Domestic Life. Upholding the other side of the Adriatic Sea at the April meeting, Mary Gordon and Madeleine Therrien enlightened the members on Greek Domestic Life. A farewell banquet to Seniors was the final event on the club calendar. Tan [ 140 ]

Weekly sermons were delivered by the Moder- ator, the Reverend Edward Harrington; the Rev- erend John Frawley, C.SS.R., presided over the Lenten discussions. Mary Kelly, Eileen Burke, Ann Stanton, and Elizabeth Farragher, inspired with the patriotism of the Reverend John Wright, carried on the work of the Lecture Bureau. The election of a May Queen brought a successful year to a close. Sodality L 139 ]

Le Cenacle Litteraire Le Cenacle Litteraire chose as its patroness for the year, la petite Sainte Therese and for its theme song, her favorite composition, Jesus Seul. It was fitting that the initial reunion in October be dedicated to the French saint. The major genre of the literary gatherings was drama. Junior members staged the famous La Farce du Cuvier which was later followed by the comedy, L ' Homme qui epousa une Femme muette , presented by the Sophomores. The Seniors were unsurpassed in their rendition of the unforgettable Rosalie. Through the courtesy of the French Club of Wellesley College, our students attended the lecture given by M. Gustave Cohen, Les Origines de la mise en scene au moyen age; and that of M. Andre Morize whose subject was: Rebdtir la France: Prob- Lemes et Perspectives. The reunions closed with the presentation by the Freshman students of Prenez Garde d la Peinture by Fauchois. L. Penez, M. Choquette, K. O ' Connell, K. DeSimone
