Sweet Briar junior Charlotte von Claparède announces Lauren Passaretti into the Paints ’n Patches tap club during a late-night tapping on April 30. Paints ’n Patches is the oldest tap club on campus, founded in 1909. It started when the president encouraged the students to start a theater club for entertainment at the secluded campus. To be a member of Paints ’n Patches, students must be involved in the theater program in some capacity.
