Orchesis, the modern dance honorary, was organized for aspiring “Martha Grahams.” In March, the 40 members presented a recital with a holiday theme. Membership was made by election following tryouts. Experience may be gained in the apprentice group. W.A.A. had sponsored this group since it's inception. Eventually, Orchesis broke off into an independent club. This photo was located in a four-page section titled "Activity Keynotes Girls' Sports." This section was at the end of the section on men's spring sports. Whether it was fall, winter or spring, the program of sports offered to Wooster coeds by the W.A.A. was an extensive and varied one. Participation was open to all women students with certain groups organized for advanced work. On a few occasions, even the men were given a chance to join in the fun. The girls were seen wearing black leotards with long flowing skirts. The administrative head at the time was Kathleen Lowrie.
