Whasic (hil Music clubbers have had fun this year planning all types of entertainment for their monthly meet- ings. Able leaders Ginger, Peggy, Deanie and Kay helped the club to carry out its program. The twen- ty music lovers guided by Miss Hainsworth have held discussions on the great masters, listened to records, and invited Mr. Ramseyer, Head of the Music Department, to play various piano selections for them. Non-members were included in Saturday night excursions to hear the Boston Symphony and Zimbler Sinfonietta performances. Whims 2 WAVE ee ares These thirteen melodymakers inspired with Wheatone harmony and rhythm can easily say that the number of their group has brought good luck in singing at Junior Prom, Wheaton clubs near- by and campus picnics. ‘hey were not superstitious knowing that they could depend on the able leadership of Shirl, the jokes and laughter of Bibber, Lou, Harri and Weedie, the attempts made by Jan, Pril, Tink and Pooh to smile and the solos by Willa, Pierce, Sue and Flossie. It’s been a year of Whimsical fun and song at dances, campus functions and over the radio for this group of dreamy singers, whose senior members began composing their own arrange ments three years ago under tal- ented Kathy's direction. Now Mimi has been left in charge of incorporating the same spirit and gaiety into next year's Whims. A hearty, musical farewell goes to Kathy and her troupe—Jerce, Wedge, Patsy, Bovo, Smitty, Sue, Peg, Jan and Ginny.

Ge ‘Angel voices raised on high’ have blended in tonal and rhythmic effects to produce a year of brilliant music. ‘Through Christmas, Founder's Day, Spring concert and May Day, the Choir, led by Julie, Amy, Barbie, Midge, Peggy and Norma, has worked constantly to bring mean- ing to the choral music of the masters, such as Schiitz, Bach, Fauré, Brahms and Strauss. To those behind the chancel, Choir has addi- tional meaning. It conveys extra section rehears- als and intense practise Cand one less hour of 28 sleep on those crucial Sunday mornings). It also includes that inner excitement just before the concert, Mr. G’s grin as the broadcast closes with the humming of the Resonet, and Mr. Ram- seyer’s slow smile as that A sharp finally sounds clear and resonant. New meaning will be added years from now, when, while listening to Whea- ton recordings, memories will come from the phonograph, recalling when it was choir time ... the hands of the organist were poised . . . the conductor signalled to begin . . . and angel voices were raised on high.

Sie diiael Kola Chub This year Lou Long and the associate ofhcers of IRC concentrated on getting students to enter into discussions and to formulate opinions of their own on important problems of the day. The emphasis was not put on trying to solve problems, but rather to bring the various aspects of those problems to light. In the fall Libby Fenno spoke on her activities at Oxford as the IRC scholar last summer; Dr. Paul Cressey spoke on his year in Burma; and Frank Fischer, as a National Student Association representative to Yugoslavia last summer, spoke on his trip. In the second semester the main speaker was the eminent Sigmund Neuwman, who gave an excellent talk on Western Europe. The International Relations Club scholarship fund was under the leader- ship of Libby Fenno. Auctioning professors at the IRC dinner and selling chances for a meal ticket at Marty's were two means of contributing to the fund. This year’s IRC scholar is Isabel Collins, and the alternate is Diana Baldwin. 30
