At semester time Miss Wilcox assumed the duties of Miss Spatz, and in the same month the members could be heard releasing their pent up feelings on the new meeting date of ‘Thursday noon. To guard against casualties from a relatively modern device of des- truction, engineered by Chief Thor Ronningen, with the aid of senior members, who also helped during fre drills, ran several air raid prac- tice drills.
