Tho gods and goddcses of the Mere

lors on Tuesday afternoon. The re

ns as Ruth Livernion. presideil over
the election of next year’s officers. TJie
club welcomed Tura Thompson as the
new president Katherine Nooe as vice-
presidout. and Bessie Lee Moss as sec-
retary-treasuror. After short talks by
the retiring, and the incoming presi-
louts, the deities adjourned, and a
iiappy social hour was enjoyed by tho
club, as mortals. There was iced tea.
sandwiches, and small cakes for re
freshments.
The programs given by the club this
year have been on Greek and Roman
mythology. The gods and goddesses
have usutilly been represented iu per
son, and It Is with genuine delight
that tho club members look back on
this year’s sojourn on Mt. Olympus
with such heavenly companions.
We take this opportunity to thank
Daphue Owens, chairman of the pro
gram committee, for giving us such in
teresting programs this winter, and to
thank Miss Law also, for her help.
