Under the direction of Dr. Harlan P. Guest, members of the Chemis- try Club have been active during the past year in collecting pam- phlets dealing with the subject oi chemistry in order to complete their ever-increasing library lo- cated in the Physical Science Office. If you have inspected the many fine chemical exhibits in the library during the year, you have noted that these informative dis- plays have been the result of the efforts of the Chemistry Club, un- der the careful planning of Howard Tanner, chairman of the library committee, and Bernice Pitzele and Jacob Bleadon. Another group that deserves credit is the Spring Carnival Com- mittee of which William Henning was chairman, with Howard Tan- ner, Vincent Frabrizio, Elliot Schu- bert assisting. These accomplish- ments plus other aims of the club, such as visits to industrial chem- ical plants in Chicago, hove served to enliven the program. FIRST ROW: Mr. H. P.

The Reds and the Blacks hove been fighting steadily at Wilson for t he past several semesters, and Mr. Lawrence Olson, sponsor of the Chess Club, keeps adding more fuel to the already brightly burning fire. Through constant dissemination of propaganda, Mr. Olson now has a trained staff of technical experts, able to outwit any Axis general on the chess board. This organization of chess en- thusiasts meets two hours every week with the purpose of promot- ing greater interest in the game of chess. Tea is an important dis- traction shared by all the club members; however, the Round Robins are still the form of combat that are enjoyed most by the members. The club ' s twenty-one active members of the spring semester took part in the Chamber of Hor- rors show at Wilson ' s Spring Car- nival, which was a huge success. Bob Lyden acted as club chairman and council representative; Sylvia Scoiza served as vice-chairman; while Kathleen Hillary served as secretory-treasurer.

r mi « ft As the co-ordinating body for all Wilson organizations, the Club Board, sponsored by Miss Claire O ' Reilly, is comprised of one dele- gate from each club, usually a club officer. The Club Board is able to regulate the activities of the clubs as it has the final deci- sion in issuing charters to clubs. The Board also has charge of the club bulletin board. The tremendous success of Wil- son ' s 1941 Spring Carnival, held on the night of March 21 was due, in no small part, to the splendid work of the Club Board, who spon- sored the affair with the coopera- tion of other organizations. For the evening the college took on all the excitement and festivity of a real carnival. For the spring semester of 1941, the officers of the Club Board were Harold Furda, chairman; Bob Lyden, assistant chairman; Muriel Springer, secretary-treasurer; and Edward Kwasnieski, publicity chairman. Delegates to the Stu- dent Senate included Sara Aron- berg, Harold Furda, and George Wassack. (?af2fie a GluU Wilson ' s A Cappella Choir was organized by Esther Goetz Gilli- land, the present sponsor, at the same time that Wilson College opened its doors in 1934. The choir renders musical selections for all school programs and assemblies, giving special performances for Christmas and an annual spring festival. The music festival. May Melo- dies o J 94 1, was presented on the night of May 16, featuring a pro- gram of American music. The choir sang compositions of Amer- ican composers — religious, secu- lar, folk songs, and light opera.
