Familiar words on the bulletin hoard reminded us From time to time of the Fun, food and intel- lectual stimulation olfered at the Forum teas. As Simmons girls we were delightfully stimulated hy Gus hleans who delved deeply into the meaning of Massachusetts politics. Viihile we sipped tea and munched cooliies with Angus Bailey from the Fall River llerald News, we discussed the American theater. Mr. Bailey's incisive comments constituted one of the highlights ol' the Forum Discussion Group series this year. Under the direction of Isa Cohen the Executive Board of Forum carried out an extensive program during United Nations weelg. Each day a new event greeted us. The liaeulty discussed United Nations accomplishments. and at the International Tea songs from foreign lands were sung. The dis- cussion of the United Nations role in Korea and the International hlusic Ilour were held in the last days of the weeli during which the cultural dider- enees lietween the United States and Russia were 1 We gathered new insight into ihe situation behind the iron curtain from the sneak peel: through The Window on Red Square , by guest speaker Franlc Rounds.

Wie congratulate Forum for having so satisliactorily aeliieved its aim ol' stimulating and integrating the political and cultural interests of the student hotly. Although it usually eonhnes its activities to the college campus. Forum this year toola time out to aeeept an invitation to visit the l larvard Law School Forum Group, where our members met the princi- pal speakers and had a ehance to see how organiza- tions from other colleges with the same purposes carried out their policies. This year Forum undertook the task of reorgani- zation. The chairmen from the United Nations group, the Legislative Group and the Discussion group worked closely with the Executive Board in an effort to eentralize the organization of Forum. This year all posters and new items concerning any of the three groups were headed Forum presents. The Executive Board together with the chairmen worked long hours to arrange programs that would interest the entire student body. The reorganization enahled Forum to hring to Simmons the many outstanding spealiers who pleased us so much. ,-

Academic Crganization The blue-and-gold ribbon worn on their gradua- tion gowns mark those students who are members of Academy, Simmons' honor society. ln college ABCs, A stands for Academy and for the scholastic achievements which they attain, as well as for their adjectives . . . alert, aware, active and attractive. This year our student intelligentsia planned a Full and active program. In October, the First big meeting was held, at which new members were welcomed and the year's olheers elected. The annual banquet was held in November with Mr. Beatley as guest speaker. In December, Miss Mil- liken read Dickens' fl Cliristnms Carol at Acad- emyfs Christmas Party, and in the spring, a com- bination Dutch dinner and theatre party and a booth at Spring Spree completed the schedule. Students in the five-year nursing program com- bine work and pleasure in the ANNE STRONG CLUB. Hospital experiences are compared and joked about at informal get-togethersg speakers and movies intro- duce the aspiring young Florence Nightingale to the latest developments and techniques in the medi- cal Held. In December the Club sponsors a Christ- mas Party, and in the late spring the nurses become actresses in their own annual skit. There is always a fever of activity in May when delegates are chosen and sent to the National League of Nursing Educa- tion conference. Through ANNE STRONG, the nurs- ing students keep in social contact with each other and in professional contact with the opportunities open to them upon graduation. I Home Economic Club Seniors 4 Academy OFFicers: center: Mariorie Ahara, Presideni' juniors. seniors, and graduate students in the School of Retailing may become members of the PRINCE CLUB, whose interests are as wide as the whole merchandising held. The highlight of the year is the annual fall Hal- loween Dance. Ghosts and goblins may have been the guests, but they were on their best behavior. The fashionably dressed Prince girls made the rag- tag goblins very clothes conscious, and they all showed up in their very best bib and tucker. At the club meetings members have the oppor- tunity to talk over and work out the problems en- countered in Held study work, and to keep up-to- date on the latest retailing developments.
