The Saturday Club met Saturday at Edna Hauter’s home, Blanche Babcock, Jessie Hanson and Dorothea Hollingsworth being assistant hostesses. In spite of the inclement weather and shortage of transportation, a large crowd was present, and the following program was given: Music Helen Murray Life of James W. Riley. Jessie Hanson Musio Edna Hauter Refreshments were then served and after a social time, all took their departure. Maurine Tuteur was seen working this week. Blanche Babcock occasionally answers to the name of Louisa Dazz’e. The Chemistry class recited instead of the U. S. history Friday and the Seniors were excused after recess to practice their play "The Frail Coed”. It was the first time they had practiced together, and the first time in the opera house. Considerable time has been devoted to the music and Miss Shedd and Mr. Bradshaw have trained the speaking parts so that the outlook is quite encouraging. Miss Perry donated a piece of a looking glass to the Senior girls to replace the one the boys broke, but the boys immediately proceeded to break it too. The girls defended it valantly, but finally surpassed in numbers, had to surrender. A business meeting of the Saturday Club was held in room four Friday morning to make some arrangements for the party Wednesday night The 01 ee Club has almost completed the preparation of the Commencement music. They will sing "Olav Trygrason,” “Tripping o’er the hills,’’ "Morning is breaking” and the “Gypsies Chorus.” The commehcement invitations have not come yet, and it is hoped to have the programs printed to give with them.
