Senior Arden Club Initiates Book Drive

North Texas' literary club, Senior Mary Arden, sponsored a book drive for the Denton County Day Nursery. The project was initiated during the spring when members learned that the nursery needed books. A committee was appointed to investigate, and recommended this as the club's project for the year.

At its regular monthly meetings, the club heard speeches related to the year's theme: "Women in the World." Speakers concentrated on women and social graces, history, business, science and etiquette.

During the year over 50 girls were accepted for membership in the club. Each was required to have a 2.0 overall grade average, and an "A" average in English for at least one semester and be of at least junior standing. These girls were initiated in a formal candlelight ceremony.

The club, named for the mother of William Shakespeare, begins each semester with a rush tea.

Spring plans include a tea honoring graduating seniors.

Club sponsor is Mrs. Mary Glenn Peery of the education faculty.
