Every Sunday evening the "Y" takes charge of the devotional services at Vespers and introduces local speakers. Under the direction of this body, a speaker from each hall has charge of weekly open discussion, and in these meetings the students express their viewpoints on serious questions.

The many different committees of the "Y" provide a number of activities for every girl, since various kinds of work are carried on by each committee. At the beginning of school, as well as all through the year, the "Y" sponsors civic tours to acquaint the students with their foster city.

Putting isn't all play, but the kind of work which makes everyone roll up her sleeves and pitch into the stacks of pictures to be identified, copy to be written, layouts to be planned, and "dummy" to be carefully constructed.

The activities of the club are numerous. In the fall, it sponsors the horse show in which all the riding students of the school take part. The annual trip to the International fHorse Show in Chicago is one of the outstanding entertainments offered to the members, and the Kentucky Derby is usually seen by a large number of WardBelmont girls.

Membership in the Turf and Tanbark Club is an accomplishment for anyone. All the students who are enrolled in the certificate riding classes are eligible, but from this group the most outstanding girls in sportsmanship are chosen by the senior club members.

Penstaff Club Every other

Wednesday

during the year is red letter day for a number of high school girls. On that day the members of Penstaff meet to read and criticize themes written by the young authors themselves. Membership in Penstaff is considered an honor and an achievement. The number in the group is limited and the personnel is chosen by a contest held in the fall. Because entrance into the organization is purely on a competitive basis, it is truly a privilege to be elected. Mrs. Souby is sponsor of the club and one of its most enthusiastic members, for she thoroughly en|oys the work and encourages the girls in their creative writing.

Many of the meetings are held in the homes of day student members, while a few times the boarders have been the hostesses on the campus. During the winter the Club made

MILESTONES Orchestra To the classical audiences of Ward-Belmont School, Mr. Rose, directing the WardBelmont Orchestra, gives an annual concert which is received with enthusiasm by members of the musical circle at the school and in Nashville. Since its reputation is established, the orchestra offers to each girl entertainment and hours of music appreciation and enjoyment. With only three hours of directed practice each week, Mr. Rose accomplishes a great deal in this enthusiastic group. Besides the work with the larger group, Mr. Rose chooses several students from the personnel of the orchestra to form small musical ensembles. These students find that it is both pleasant and beneficial to carry on such extracurricular activities.

u I

The annual symphony orchestra concert was given this year on April 6 in the WardBelmont Auditorium. Mrs. Mathllde Weaver Duke, violin soloist, presented Concerto Minor by Bruch, while the program of the orchestra ranged from such selections as Beethoven's Symphony No. 2, D Major to lighter numbers like Tschaikowsky's Nutcracker Suite.

This association draws the students closer together on field and range and aids in making the Ward-Belmont girl a more all-round person.

Every club enters four girls in the annual bowling tournament. At the end of the third round of the play-off the Del Vers were several |umps ahead of all the other clubs, with the Osirons, Triads and X. L.'s right at their heels in second, third, and fourth places, respectively. Since only the four clubs having the highest total scores from the three previous rounds compete in the next and last round, these four teams advanced to the finals. Amid the banging, roaring, and tumbling pins the bowling tournament closed with the Del Vers still on top. Their total score was 2.006, which was almost 150 points higher than the highest score last year. The Osirons bowled a score of 1,800 for the entire tourney and claimed second place, with the X.
