Ql,llfllNQ CLUB One of the most remarkable institutions of our college is the Outing Club. Remarkable, for after 11 years of its existence, ambitious young ladies still will arise at 5:30 to go hiking over the country side. It is a select group, for unfortunately there are not a great many who can manage to arrive on the steps of Science early enough to go tramping down to White Clay Creek, or WVelsh Tract Church, before breakfast. Blistered feet, and 10 mile hikes also reduce the number of aspirants, but those who find they can endure such hardships, assure us that cocoa and hot-dogs are never so delectable as when cooked in the great out-of-doors. So this year we are celebrating the 11th birthday of the Outing Club. The acquaintance of some knowledge of scouting and Woodcraft are part of the program of this club, are words found in the 1925 edition of the BLUE AND Gow. VVe fear the more modern members have not been aspiring to such heights, but burned cocoa and charred hot-dogs are the same delicacies today as in 1925. PRESIDENT- JEAN Staten One lzu1zd1'ed ten

Blbllli AND QQLID The BLUE AND GOLD may be classified as one of the campus activities sim- ilar to Press Club. It is composed of a staff elected from the two upper classes and chosen by the student body. This staff assumes the active work of the bi- annual publication of the NVomen's College. The editing of the book involves extensive Work in photography, art, business management, Writing, and advertis- ing. The entire student body cooperates in the financial support, and each stu- dent receives a copy of the book-in which she has recorded 'lor her a short his- tory of her classmates and a picture of her college days.

The Glee Club was organized in 1925 with an enrollment of 25 students. Since then it has steadily and rapidly increased until its present membership is approximately 65. It has increased not only in number but -also in its activities and is now one of the most active organizations on campus. The club is featured on all special occasions, among them being the Thanksgiving Dinner, the Christmas Dinner, the Parent-Student Dinner, and Class Night. All students who show interest and ability along musical lines are eligible. As the club is now Ol'gZ11'1lZCCl on a credit basis, attendance is compulsory at each weekly rehearsal. Our outstanding. performances are two concerts: the Christmas Concert, and the Spring Concert. Closely connected with the Glee Club are the string trio and the string quintet. VVe are extremely proud of these organizations and hope that the interest shown at present will continue and that past records will be an inspiration for greater and finer .accomplishments in the future.
