JEAN COLLIER Treasurer . . . .4 . , BARBARA FOLEY Advisor ..,.. DR. EDITH jEWEI.L HUNTER The Lambda Tau Sigma Sorority has en- joyed many social events this year, the first of which was the annual hayride. Dur aim this year was to make money to hold a ban' quet in june. First, we had a penny sale, each girl inviting one guest. ln December we held a Rummage Sale in Worcester. This sale financed our Christmas Ball. Dur ball was held at the Town Hall which was decorated in silver, blue, and white. Since the ball was a great success, it is to be an annual affair. At our Christmas Party, gifts were exchanged, and a good time was had by all. Later in the year, we held a party for the HifY, in return for a barn dance they held in our honor earlier in the year. Each year the Sorority aids in collecting for the lnfantile Paralysis Campaign. The five girls collecting the largest amount were taken out to a dinner party at the Meadows. We were honored to have some excellent speakers 42 this year. Mr. Winston Keck spoke to us about choosing a college or vocation. Dr. Thomas Hunter told us of interesting per- sonal experiences in World War ll. Miss Scott, an artist, spoke to us of her trip to Mexico and showed us her excellent paintings ofthe country. Miss Wanda Kane spolce on a lighter, but important subject of make-up and hair styles, while another spoke on hat styles. Dur palms were read by one of our speakers, who also spoke on etiquette.'l Dur own Dr. Jewell spoke to us at one of the last meetings. The unforgettable banquet in june ended the year with a bang At this banquet each memher received a silver bracelet with the sorority insignia. The experiences and fun in our sorority will not soon be forgotten, and to our future members we wish the success, joy, and good times we have experienced. MAJOR HOWARD W. BEAL MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL
