ot satisfied with the noxious odors of a multitude of experiments
during
laboratory periods the newly organized Chemistry Club has devoted a
meeting
or two to demonstrate further experiments just for fun. If you have
heard of
any new experiments lately or if you have devised one of your own
the club
will no doubt perform it to their amazement and your own.

Little of the real drama that goes into a stage production is
portrayed upon the stage. The story of the Curtain Club is more
adequately told by waste baskets full of facial tis- sues smeared
with cosmetics, empty paint cans, piles of rubbish, dass cuts,
sleepless nights, agonizing rehearsals, the bald head of the
director, play books marked with lighting cues, and the reassuring
words of the prompter. The Curtain Club offers a wide and varied
realm of experience lo the person interested in the 6ne art of
acting.

fifteen miles every month.

aptly, a land turtle.

THE HONOR SOCIETY FOR PUBLICATIONS
The Honorary Society for Publications marks the height of college
journ-
alistic ability. While many aspire fow dutch the golden apples of
tops in
journalism. The prestige of being editor or business manager of a
college pub-
lication is prickly with the thorns of responsibility, and these
are the prerequi-
sites of memlership. We aspire to national recognition by
affiliating with s:>me
national organization. This means that we must maintain a high
reputation of
journalistic ability in all of our college publications. Eleven
students and two
faculty members have been honored by the organizalion.
