cultural activitie committee The Cultural Activities Committee, an outgrowth of the Assembly Committee, presented interesting and varied programs to the college this year. Assemblies and dorm discussions were aimed at bringing more culture to the campus. The first assembly speaker was Dr. Winifred E. Bain, President Emerita of Wheel- ock College. Reverend A. L. Kershaw fascinated his audience with his stimulating talk on jazz. Two faculty members, Dr. E. Brooks Smith and Mr. Robert Meredith, reviewed parts of their new children's book with Mr. Paul Ellison narrating. Dorm discussions on African affairs, summer experiences, and current books brought informative sessions directly to the girls. The students, faculty, and administration commend the Cultural Activities Committee for an outstanding first year. Rev. Kershaw speaks on jazz l i Assembly Committee: P. Plant, L. Close, T.

the key The Key, under the guidance of Mr. Robert Meredith, is a quarterly publication which inspired contributions from all students interested in doing creative work in po- etry, short stories, essays, one-act plays, music, ehildren's literature, and art. At the Publications Banquet in the spring, the Key awarded prizes for the best literary, musical, and artistic contributions. This year interested members of the student body served as critics, helping the literary board choose material for publication, thus, many students who had never written creatively before found enjoyment and satisfaction in con- tributing to the Key.
