Ethelon Club With the maxim, “Charity for all,” the Ethelon Club of Sociology Majors opened the Fall events with a meeting at Carondolet. Jane O’Brien pre- sided. The outstanding activity sponsored by the Ethe- lonians was the Penny Sale, held November 17, for the benefit of Catholic charities. A Christmas party in the form of a buffet supper was given at Regis Hall, where Home Economics Seniors were ten- dered a testimonial. Christmas baskets and gaily wrapped gifts were sent to the Little Sisters of the Poor and the Convent of the Good Shepherd. Guest speakers during the Spring months in- cluded the Reverend George Dowd, the Reverend James G. Keller, M.M., and the Reverend Thomas Carroll. [ 147 ]

Home Economics Club Culinary experts all — assembled for the October gathering to discuss basic metabolism and vita- min deficiencies, and to elect energetic Miss Han- lon as President. Louise Sullivan, Edith LaMarca, and Elizabeth Conley completed the Club Officers. During October, the Spirit of Home Economics descended with lighted tapers to initiate the Freshmen; and, November found Home Ec Seniors aiding and abetting their Ethelon friends with a delectable food table at the Penny Sale. The Boston Convention, plans for a nutrition program at Regis, the Christmas Party kept Club members busy during the Winter months; and, in the Spring a lecturer from England, Miss Maude Preston, entertained with the latest millinery fashions.
