T1'ea.f'u1'e1' The Home Economics Club may be called the only sorority on campus in that it is the only organization whose members may Wear pins. It is made up of Home Economics students, who successfully pass their lirst semester of Freshman work, along with the faculty members of the department. Its primary aim is to provide a means whereby the Home Economics students in college may become acquainted with each other and with the faculty. Secondly, it 'lurthers the knowledge of these people in any way possible. The oflicial time for the meeting is the first VVeclnesday in each monthg the place, the Commuters' room. Demonstrations, talks, discussions, and minute talks by members of the club, 'furnish the social end of the program. An interesting talk was given at one meeting by Dr. Horvath, who is doing experimental Work on the soy-bean at the University Experimental Station. At another, a fashion show was staged by the Butterick stylist of Strawbridge and Clothier Store who is a Women's College alumna. This meeting was held in Hilarium and everyone was invited. The club is entirely responsible for the Christmas Dinner, which is an annual event. Another of the big social events in the club is the Freshman initiation which is preceded by a private, special dinner in Kent Hallg and the Welcome party for the Freshmen which this year took the form of a tea in the Practice House. cxliii

C lzaimizzvz P1'0g1'am Committee Le Cercle Francais, more commonly known as the French Club, has a two- fold purpose. While aiding students to attain a mastery of the language through conversation, it also offers many delightful meetings and entertainments. The membership of the club is limited because of the high standard of scholar- ship required, but it has provided many of the high spots of the college social year of 1933-1934. The introductory tea was a great success, as were the formal dinner and play, given later in the year, and the informal dinner followed by a one-act play in Sussex Common Room. The picnic, instructive as well as entertaining, brought to a close the list of major affairs. The French tables, a recent innovation, have been highly enjoyable. There, three nights a week, French is spoken exclusively. A truly French atmosphere is achieved by having the names of the dishes printed on the menu in French. The hope of the club is to have a French House sometime in the not too distant future, where the girls may polish their speaking knowledge of French, in preparation for the Foreign Study Group. cxlii

Libmriem The Glee Club has grown very rapidly since its organization in 1925, and is now one of the most active clubs on campus. Each year it gives chorus selections at the important social events, among them being the Thanksgiving Dinner, Parent-Student Day, and Class Night. The Club each year presents two concerts-one in hdarch and another in June. Each spring, for the past few years, it has been requested that the club broadcast one of its programs. Anyone who is actively interested in music and has ability in some phase of music is eligible for membership. Attendance, however, at Weekly rehearsals, is compulsory. Closely connected with the Glee Club are the orchestra, the string quintet, and a four-part chorus. The club is extremely proud of the ability of these groups and while working to aid their growth is striving to attain finer accomplishments in the future. cxliv
