MU PHI EPSILON ALPHA BETA CHAPTER Mu Phi is a professional, honorary music sorority, dedicated to the advancement of music in America, promotion of musicianship and scholarship, loyalty to the Alma Mater, and the development of true sisterhood. To cultivate these ideals of friendship, service, and responsibility, the activities of Mu Phi Epsilon concern both the civic and social aspects of our school life as well as the professional. They sponsor assemblies, school dances, cake sales, concerts, and have a tea at the beginning of each year to help acquaint the incoming girls with the college. MUSIC EDUCATORS NATIONAL CONFERENCE Chapter No. 227 The student chapter of MENC was organized in order that the bonds of friendship might be deepened among future music educators, to promote a better relationship among student chapters in the area, and to broaden outlooks by increasing interest and knowledge in the field of music education. There certainly exists a responsibility which must be realized, that is, to make members conscious of their responsibility towards the music education profession. lt is toward this aim that this chapter is particularly dedicated. This year, the music education club sent an official delegate to the National Convention which was held in Buffalo, New York. Also, each yearan outstanding student in the club is publicly honored. NEWNIAN CLUB OF HARTT COLLEGE The Newman Club had its beginnings when in 1893 five medical students at the University of Pennsylvania, adopting Cardinal Newman as their patron, organized for the purpose of guiding catholic students in the development of their faith. Today there are more than five-hundred clubs in existence. This year Hartt added to that number by becoming an official chapter-member of the National Federation of Newman Clubs. 171'

NEWMAN CLUB OF HILLYER COLLEGE Catholic students debate problems of religious nature at informal and formal meetings of the Newman Club. This organization enjoys the honor of being the oldest club at the college. Usually present at these discussions is a Chaplain who tries to resolve questions of Theology. Social activities are not completely disregarded by any means. A major function is the Annual Communion Breakfast. Retreats for prayers and personal meditation at Catholic monasteries, are also attended by Newman Club members. OWL AND GAVEL This small but willing group actively engages in debating, on both the intergroup and intercollegiate levels. Under the able direction of its faculty advisor, Professor John Balmer, the group had gained recognition among state debating teams. Each year the society helps in sponsoring the Annual Inter-Class Speech Competition which aims at the development of better speakers in the student body of the college.
