RETAILIN G CLUB The Retailing Club was very active this year under the leadership of Betty Ackerman, president and Barbara Beck, secretary. The retailers all worked in department stores for a six-weelc period between Thanks- giving and Christmas recess. They learned many of the aspects of buying, selling, and decorating through these positions. In the early part of the school year the retailers were delighted by the demonstrations of Mr. Germaine, a hair stylist in the city of Portland. He experimented in hair cutting, dyeing, and waving on some of the more adventurous members of the club. The results were surprising and very fashionable. The club scheduled a discussion period in February for the members to compare and discuss their various experiences while they were out in the field of retailing. This en- able many students to consider their future occupations as retailers. In March an annual style show was sponsored by the Porteous-Mitchell Company which was enjoyed by the entire college. It helped bring everyone up-to-date on the latest fashion ideas. i The faculty advisors for the club this year were Miss Curry and Miss Bancroft.

GLEE CLUB Concerts and rehearsals have provided many interesting experiences for the members in this year's Glee Club. During the traditionally exciting Christmas season, the girls gave Christmas programs at the Portland Men's Club, and the Kiwanis Club as well as making a broadcast of holiday music for a local radio station. Here at school, the Glee Club presented a concert preceding the annual Christmas pageant and they have added to the religious life of the college by singing at the chapel services every Wednesday. However, none of these appearances would have been possible without the assistance of two people -- Mr. Neily and Miss Johnson. Through 'his untiring eiforts, Mr. Neily has used his extensive musical ability to direct the Glee Club to success. Miss Johnson has been a very capable accompianist as well as assistant director. With leadership such as this and the continued rehearsals of work and fun, the Glee Club was assured of success.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB This year the IRC was active on campus with informal discussions in which both faculty and students participated helped to enlighten and to create a better under- standing of the international conflicts. .The IRC sponsored a United Nations Day at which time faculty and students who had had the privilege of visiting or living in other countries throughout the world gave their impressions of how other people of the world live. A number of students participated in a discussion on the topic, Should we use the Atomic Bomb in Korea? Members of the faculty composed a panel, each giving their ideas of the use of the bomb. Later, the discussion was turned over to the students for their respective opinions. Miss Dunn gave an interesting talk on her experiences while hitch-hiking through seven countries in Europe. Miss Toussaint also gave us an idea of what living in France would be like, if any of us were ever fortunate to have the privilege of visiting there. Judith Westaway attended an International Relations Conference at the University of Montreal. Two representatives of the United Council on World Affairs, V. W. Jao of Formosa and Theodore Maclamba of the Phillipines, were guest speakers at a college forum. Members of the club comprised a discussion panel for the forum. The club was under the direction of Sylvia Kuraner, presidentg Patricia Currier, vice- presiclent and secretaryg and Barbara Meade, treasurer. Miss Pattee was the faculty advisor.
