We needed it so badly and built up our hopes so high that We were a little afraid that it might not come up to our expectations. -But it has-. Now the college year is just one round of athletic activity. Hockey, soccer, volley ball, basketball, swimming, baseball, track, archery, and tennis follow each other in rapid succession. It doesn't matter whether a girl participates just because she loves athletics or merely with a view to losing a little excess poundage, the interclass rivalry develops a line spirit of comradeship among the members of the teams of all classes. Another phase of the Athletic Association is the Outing Club which sponsors breakfast hikes, overnight hikes, and--just plain hikes. The Athletic Association and the Directors of Physical Education try to cooperate with each other in every way possible. This is Well shown in such major events as the A. A. Picnic, the Gym Nleet, May Day, and the A. A. Banquet. It is this spirit of cooperation which will cause the W'. C. A. A. to grow by leaps and bounds. Wie can predict nothing but success for the future. cxl

Huppria MARY L. MATLACIQ . . . .................. Prerident K CECILIA Goicnoiv . . . . .... Secretary and Trearurer Everyone must have some means of self-expression, and those who Wish to portray comedy and tragedy turn naturally to Puppets. Many do turn but for one reason or another fail to obtain the number of points required. It takes a great deal of interest and an endless amount of Work to become a member. That is Why those who are Puppets feel that it is really a great honor to belong to this organization. This club was started in 1925 and each year has grown larger and undertaken more diflicult projects. In the year 1932, the Puppets produced Death Takes a Holiday and this year A Nlurder Has Been Arranged. In the spring, the new members are tapped and are made Puppets at a formal dinner held in Niay. These incoming members are from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. As has been stated, they are made members after they have accumulated the required number of points which may be earned by Working on any phase of a dramatic production. The Puppets for 1933-1934 are: Helen Eckert Nlary L. Matlaclc Elizabeth Harris Nlarjorie Slider Cecilia Gordon Nlarjorie Breuer cxxxix

L i Z9 1' arian Forum, as the representative of the International Relations Clubs on the WO1UCH,S College Campus, has assumed a new importance this year in the lives of the students. Pleasant meetings with tea and a speaker are still of outstanding importance, but they are, nevertheless, only one of many activities. A cabinet, consisting of all those who showed any interest in world affairs, was formed about the middle of the year, and operates to give girls a chance to speak on subjects of World importance. A debate committee took its place in the cabinet, and has not only organized debates among the girls, but has also debated with members of Delaware College. Another committee, formed to stimulate interest in world affairs, has taken charge of seeing that there are newspapers in each of the dormi- tories. The student body has supported this move by consenting to a light tax, and now one Wilmington and one New York paper are to be found in each of the common rooms during the week, as well as a New York paper on Sunday. Much inspiration and many workable ideas were brought back to the organi- zation from the annual sectional meeting of the International Relations Clubs, which was held in Washington this year, and had as its theme, Pan-Americanism. On the whole Forum has been marked by a change from a loosely organized association to a closely integrated unit of action. cxli
