Mr. Lamb spoke on Gilbert and Sul- livan and he illustrated his talk with songs from various operas. After the lecture, a coffee was held in Hebe Parlors for the Music Club Members. At this Mr. Lamb played and sang several other songs. On December 13, the Music Club held its Christmas party for both the old and new members. The program consisted of musical games, refreshments, and the playing of a Franck Sonata by Mr. Ramseyer. On March 10, Music Club presented a Pops Concert. In this Miss Winslow played a drum solo, accompanied by Ann Tomkin- son; Helene McCallum played Wheaton songs; a Novelty Orchestra under the direc- tion of Barbara Davis played two selections; Muriel Browne danced to Hawaiian music and Mr. Ramseyer played several selections on the Harpsichord; a one-act opera was given by Music Club members—‘‘An Act of Up-To-Date Grand Opera.’ Alice Edenborg is president of the Club, Sally Kitching is vice-president, and Anne Johnson is secretary-treasurer. Informal meetings of Psyche in its effort to return to the old traditions, are among the pleasantest memories of the Juniors and Seniors in this honorary society. The first meeting was formal, given in conjunction with Agora at which Mr. Boas spoke on ‘Some Aspects of Shakespearean Scholar- ship.’’ At the next meeting two seniors gave reports on two recent publications, and at the following meeting four Juniors gave read- ings from their own work. In April Mrs. Park entertained Psyche at her home, speak- ing on Mary Webb. Selections from an hon- ors paper on the Arthurian Legend were given at an informal meeting in May. The in- formality of Psyche has developed student contributions and participation as the so- clety was originally intended. The officers are Elizabeth Jenny, president, Shirley Sheldon, vice-president and Con- stance Anderson, secretary-treasurer. The members are Clara Boss, Katherine Bredow, Evelyn Danzig, Edith Feinberg, Marian Louise Freeman, Louise Hayes, Mary Hus- sey, Natalie Johnson, Alison Kimpton, Ruth Lawrence, Mary Ann Lynen, Edna F. Mann, Jane Morgan, Constance Newton, Margaret Plumer, Mildred Poland, Madeline Ross, Elizabeth Shaw, Janet Smock, Ernestine Weinbaum, Eleanor Wells. To give a larger group the opportunity to participate in its activities the Romance Languages Club this year changed the re- quirements for membership from four B's and continued study, to two B’s and an inter- est in the language. With this modification, twelve new members were admitted. During the year the club sponsored movies which were open to the student body . One of these was the French film, ‘‘Pasteur,’’ and the other an Italian picture, “‘L’Amor che Canta.’ (‘Three Lucky Fools’’). In Decem- [ 23 ]

This year Jean Walther, Wheaton’s Model League chairman, was a member of the Continuations committee of the New Eng- land Model Assembly which decided to change the Model League into the New England Conference for Foreign Affairs. It was also decided to hold three regional meetings, the second of which was held here at Wheaton. Over sixty students repre- senting twelve colleges were welcomed by Dr. Park.
