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

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
