THE PRESS CLUB With the appearance of a gay poster inviting reporters and all those interested in journalism to report for duty, things began to happen. The Press Club resumed its activities and added a long list of pledges to its rolls. Typewriters began clicking, and remarks about covering assignments and beating the dead-line were heard again. The officers were: Margaret Roche, president; Janet Ruttenberg, vice-president; Justine Feely, secretary-treasurer; Bertille AIcEvoy, program chairman; and Evelyn Lincoln, pledge chairman. Late in October occurred a reception of pledges, at which each candidate drew a slip of paper indicating the column of the Skyscraper layout on the blackboard which she was to fill. The stories were clever and original, and a prize was awarded for the best. Dainty refreshments and the singing of the pledge song ended the party. In accordance with the object of vocation week, the Press Club had talks on various careers open in journalism. According to the reports, many and varied opportunities are open to women who can write. On this occasion ten new members were received into the club. Their initiation took place early in April. Later in the same month the Press Club entertained the Stylus Club at a party in the formal social rooms, with songs, dances, solos on various musical instruments, and readings. From the Press Club are selected the staff of the Skyscraper, whose club pins are distinguished from the others by a jewel. Meetings are held bi-monthly, business and social affairs alternating.

THE CHEMISTRY CLUB Eager to discover further secrets, the Chemistry Club began their second year with enthusiasm, seizing opportunities for research in, to them, hitherto unknown fields. Excellent programs included discussions of chemistry in art, cosmetics, ornaments, and glass, and the Christmas spirit in chemistry. With an eye to learning how chemistry functions in industry, the club visited various plants which maintain staffs of research chemists, and learned something of the duties of this profession, as also of the chemistry of each particular industry, as for example that of steel. Exchange programs with the Loyola University Chemistry Club, in which William Grasso spoke on protein structure, Jack Pfeffer read a paper on synthetic rubber, Alargaret Scannell read a paper on anesthetics, and Elaine Krambles talked on enzyme action, added zest to the year's program. It is also to Loyola that the club is indebted for the arrangement of trips. On the Ides of Alarch, a joint program with the Eta Phi Alpha Classical Club included two lectures upon ancient chemists, a paper on photostatic reproduction of ancient manuscripts, and a skit based upon the supposition of what chemistry would have done on the Ides of March. The club feels that it has profited well by its work. The members have realized the advantages in their by-no-means-restricted field, a new enthusiasm for chemistry has been aroused, and perhaps some unknown Avogadro has been encouraged to go further.
