There they were introduced to Doctor Speer, sponsor of that school's chapter and were able to become more familiar with the ar-rangement of the organization. The purpose of this trip and of other such ones made by the club's members is to awaken an interest for the teaching profession and to depict the opportunities offered at STC. The discussion between rep-resentatives and students was cen-tered principally around these points. All those students who had any thoughts at all on the subject were encouraged to participate in activities this summer that are closely allied with those of a teacher. John Hilker said that the repre-sentatives were very much satisfied with this trip and with the warm reception that was given to them. The students enthusiastically con-ducted them throughout the build-ing, constantly inquiring with genu- Me interest about STC and its VA Newell Chapter. Later they were served with refreshments made by the Patterson Park economic depart-ment. John further stated that the high school students remarked af-terwards, ""that they had had a won-derful time and did not realize col-lege students could be so human."" Plans are in process for other such trips and visits between STC's chap-ter and various ones throughout Baltimore. On March 28th the col-lege chapter will entertain Patter-son Park High School and are at present arranging a program for that occasion. � Next Assembly Offers Jachens Robert Jachens, well-known bari-tone, will present a varied song pro-gram at the assembly on March 15.
