Above are pictures of Jim Hayes and Irene Strotkamp taken on the day of the initiation of new members into Pi Delta Theta, junior college dramatics club. The other picture is of some representative action of the fall play, Bury the Dead. There was a great amount of interest taken by students in dramatic activities and organizations this year. The membership of Pi Delta Theta was increased to forty-three members, thirty-seven of whom remain dur- ing the present semester. Besides its social activities and smaller productions. Pi Delta Theta produced two major college plays. In the fall it successfully sponsored Bury the Dead, an impression- istic anti-war play. The spring play, Laburnum Grove, a comedy, was produced May 14. In accordance with the precedence of the last few years, a reception was held on the stage following the performance. In addition to the dramatic activities, Pi Delta Theta again sponsored the spring banquet on May 10, and thus, looks back with satis- faction on this year of increased interest and activity. Six new members were chosen this fall to Delta Psi Omega, making a total of sixty members in the local chapter which was started in 1935. The six who were initiated into this honorary organization are Bob Huttenhoff, Bert Dace, Christine Hughes, Evelyn Crooks, and Clancy Ferguson. More new members will be selected this spring.

CATIONS In addition to the Grizzly Growls the journalism club published a mimeographed leaflet, The Jinx , a humor- ous publication much enjoyed by the students. The Growls reported news events of all school activ- ities and various features and editorials. One column especially enjoyed by readers was the Scoop column written by Virginia Crawford. The journalism club sponsors the paper and passes on its policies. The officers of the club were Virginia Crawford, president; Bob Stafford, vice-president and student council representative ; Evelyn Davidson, secre- tary-treasurer, and Winifred Grist, program chairman. The faculty advisor of the club was Mr. G. Haldane Crooks. The annual, the Grizzly Growl, was published at the close of the school year. Bob Stafford, editor-in-chief, and Jim Hayes, business manager, were elected to their places by the student council. The photography editors were Kenneth Grady and Roberta Barker. Oliver Hughes, editor of last year ' s annual, served on the staff and parti- GRIZZLY GROWL ANNUAL STAFF Editor Assistant Editor - - Engraving Editor Photograph Editors - Business Manager - Ass ' t Business Manage Sponsor - - - - Bob Stafford - Bob Sharp Oliver Hushes - Kenneth Grady Roberta Barker - Jim Hayes - Audrey Mack Miss Milford cularly handled printing and engraving contacts. Assist- ants to the editor and business manager were Bob Sharp and Audrey Mack ; Miss Milford was sponsor. The staff attempted to follow the modern trend of annuals in replacing the formal posed group pictures with action photos and informal shots, when at all possible. This change, while making for a more interesting book, presents many difficulties in getting good action photo- graphs. In some layouts the quality of the photographic work is not what the staff would have liked to have, but with the resources and facilities available is the best that it was possible to get.
