 about 50 girls most of whom have
 seemed to be interested in going to
 college. At the beginning of the
 year it was found necessary to draw
 up a new constitution which pro-
 vided for a president, a vice-presi-
 dent, who is also chairman of the
 program committee, and a secre-
 tary-treasurer, all elected annually.
 The dues were fixed at 25 cents a :: semester. It was found necessary to
 supplement the fund thus obtained in some way, so a candy sale was
 held at the Wesleyan Glee club con- cert.
 The programs of the meetings
 have been varied and have had for
 their purpose, for the most part,
 helping the girls decide where to
 go to college. as many of them seem undecided on that part. There
 have been number of interesting
 speakers at different meetings in-
 cluding representative from Mount
 Holyoke, and former member of
 the club who is still In college, Dag

 to establish more contact with the
 College club of New Britain and
 with other Junior College clubs. The
 first was accomplished through the
 tea which was given at the South

 through the joint meetings with the
 Meriden Junior College club here in January and at Meriden in March, at which the Wallingford Junior | College club was also present The year will close with picnic early in June"
