Cliatrmavz of Tear The Ibis Club is composed of all students who are interested in Nlathematics. The monthly meetings are held in the form of teas followed by informal discus- sions of subjects related to the science of Matlleinatics, which cannot be discussed in the class-room. A member of the club leads the discussions of the meetings, supplemented by the sponsors ol the club, who are members of the Nlathematics Department. '.l'he meetings of 1932-1933 were devoted to a study of the science of astronomy, and the meetings of 1933-1934 to the study of the dilferent sciences using NlalesoH's Meet the Sciencesv as a reference. The final meeting of each year takes the 'form of a banquet. The club expresses its appreciation to the members of the faculty and to Mrs. Rees, who have made its meetings a success by their sincere interest, helpful suggestions, and contributions to the discussions. cxlv

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

Sec1'eta1'y and T1'ea.fzL1'e1' The German Club had its origin in an enthusiastic manifestation of interest in German affairs, due in great part to the coming of exchange students from Germany in 1933 and 1934, to the increase in the size of the classes in German, and to the inauguration of more advanced courses. When a realization of the signincance of present day German movements was thus brought nearer to us, We requested an appropriation from the Student Government budget for the organization and maintenance of a group to discuss German affairs, and to acquire a speaking knowledge of the language, and a familiarity with the atmosphere of the country. The meetings have taken the form of teas where German was spoken, and a Singstunde', to become acquainted with the more familiar German songs. The club is open to all students who have completed satisfactorily German 104 and to students taking German 104 who are intending to take German 201. The oflicers are elected in May for the coming year and are chosen from the students taking the advanced German courses. The Deutscher Verein has great possibilities, and We hope to see it develop them as its strength and membership increase. cxlvi
