After school on Tuesdays and Fridays were the regular meeting times of these seventeen girls, although they often worked with other dance groups on other afternoons and before school. At the beginning of the school year, Mrs. Kramer, faculty advisor, instructed the members in basic modern dance techniques. As the dates for the Variety Show neared, the girls concentrated on developing the choreography for dances. As well as working out the numbers in which they appeared themselves, the Terps members instructed other dance lines. Divided into groups, they worked with tap line, soft shoe line, opening line, folk dance, and boys' novelty. Kathy Sisson and Ann Platt held the offices of president and secretary respectively. The members of Pavlovians were junior girls who were interested in learning about modern dance through their own experience. These girls as members of last year's Des Moiselles, the sophomore modern dance club, had tried out before faculty judges for membership in Pavlovians.

The purpose of Des Moiselles was to insti- gate and promote an interest in modern dance among sophomore girls. The Des Moiselles elected officers and divided into four groups in the fall. The four groups created individual dances and presented them to the members of the other groups.
