llll L 1 7fze Im ummary of Orgauizafirws True to her boast, Stratford has this year indeed encouraged participation in those extra-curric- ular activities which are a vital part of student life. The Student Council has strived this school year to promote a higher sense of honor, to inspire a greater loyalty to Stratford, to encourage a deep fellowship between students, and to develop an efli- cient student organization. It has drawn up a new Constitution to further this aim, and it has brought about the installation of an effective honor system in Stratford. Each student has signed an honor pledge, strengthening the individual challenge to herself. It is hoped for future years that there may be a keen realization felt within each student ofthe significance of a wholesome, active student government and a sincere desire to hold to it with unfailing devotion as the moldcr of great character. In keeping with its high purpose and ideals, the members of the Blazer Club have given themselves wholeheartedly to unselfish service. Ostensibly an Honor Athletic organization dedicated to maintaining interest in all forms of sports and upholding a line spirit of rivalry in all athletic contests, the Club has extended its aims to include greater loyalty to Stratford and to humanity. The Poetry Society has met on Sunday afternoons throughout the year in order to stimulate an interest in and an enjoyment of poetry. The club has succeeded in bringing together those who read and write poetry and in developing in them a finer appreciation and understanding. The purpose of the International Relations Club has been to study and maintain an interest among its members in the importance of world events. Current Events Week, sponsored by the club, has sought to promote in the entire student body an understanding of the significance of each day's happenings. Stratford Players, the dramatic club of the college, has successfully presented two major productions this year-one in the fall and one in the spring. In addition to these, various shorter skits and scenes have been given from time to time by the members. Lectures and discussions on dramatic teclmique, make-up, pantomime, and stage directions have been held to develop in the students a greater love and knowledge of dramatic art. The purpose of Entre Nour, the French Club, has been to afford students a greater opportunity for practice in French conversation. To join all daughters and granddaughters of alumnze of Stratford, a Daughters Club was organized this year. The club's aim is to be the connecting link between the alumnm association and the student body. Another new club organized this year is the Local Students Club for the purpose of uniting and bringing together as a group the Danville girls who attend Stratford. The Glee Club has not only given numerous public recitals, but it has also continued to lead the singing at Sunday Vespers and to inspire in all the students an appreciation ofthe value of group music. These organizations, varying in purpose and in operation, make possible experiences which appeal to every girl and cover the entire range of school life.
