Others will go to the laboratories of industry and of research foundations as analysts and research assistants. Still others will turn up as teachers of biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics. A graduate course either in chemical laboratory tech- niques or in public health laboratory procedures includ- ing work in the preparation of vaccines and antitoxins is also offered to a limited number of qualified graduates. This course leads to a diploma. The student club of the Science School chose the name Ellen Richards Club after the first woman graduate of M.I.T. Many of the club's customs are unique. For in- stance, their big meeting of the year is a banquet held in a slightly de-fumigated laboratory with beakers, bottles, and test tubes holding the eats. Other meetings are more conventional, being held in the Lounge and with less startling service. Mary Pucci was president this year, Jacqueline Doyle was secretary-treasurer, Virginia Burton was Senior representative, Mary Gaffney was Junior representative, and Miriam Caploe was pub- licity chairman. ,lohn Arrcnd Timm, l'h.Il., Dirt-vlor Unbalanccd by .5 Ellen Richards: Front, Pucci, Doyle.

I The original science school at Simmons ' i i was a pre-nursing or pre-medical school A I , whose facilities were also available to 'i 'l the School of Home Economics. Not so now. The School of Science has blossomed out into one of the more important schools at Simmons-if one can be said to be more important than another. Graduates of the school are in the enviable position of having excellent, well-paying positions long before they get a degree. Their type of work and their qualifications are such that they are in demand at hos- pitals, as doctor's assistants, and in private and industrial research laboratories. In fact, you might say they were essential industries!

Theirs is not a glamour job, but it is an interesting one. Science School girls begin to specialize in their Sopho- more year-earlier than in any other school. They may choose biology, chemistry, or physics and mathematics for their specialization, but you can be pretty sure they'll end up in a laboratory somewhere. Graduated, they will Hr.

School of English. . HE PEN AND INK GIRLS are the ones who enter the School of English. Long papers-the bane of other schools' ex- istences-flow like water from the hands of these future reporters and script or publicity writers. And in their spare time, English School girls relax by writing for Newr, Fen Wayf, and Mic. Under the guidance of Dr. Robert M. Gay, Director of the School of English, students train for positions in publishing houses, advertising agencies, newspaper and magazine oflices, and radio stations. A broad back- ground in English literature, as well as in technical courses in journalism, publicity, and publishing are included in the curriculum of the school. Students ac- quire an extensive knowledge of newspaper and print- shop jargon during these latter courses, and it is not unusual to hear a delicate journalism major say calmly, l'll pick it up in the morgue, or a quiet intellectual demand, Did you bleed? The acid test of this technical training is the project required of Seniors in publishing- the preparation of a magazine, book, or publicity scheme that will be practical evidence of their ability. It does not take long before the Editors' Room rivals the Butt Room as a second home for most students in the f ,Q 4 arf f 92 lg QV J 416 6 . ,T Z kv' f Kar l! A Rolrerl N.
