The purpose is to study various topics and problems of interest today.

They are the nucleus of our social life. Life in this school would be drab indeed without their soothing presence. They are the girls who can have the wonderful time without bothering the other sex. For the purpose of making themselves all the more presentable, and in consideration of all other girls in the school, they have installed a beautiful mirror which enhances their already unsurpassable beauty. Of course you all know who is spoken of the Rota Betas. DRAMATIC ART REPORT The regular semi-month- ly meeting of the Dixie Dramatic Club was held Thursday evening, Dec. 4, in the Gymnasium.
