Commiffee Wm if ff wifi fiiif- wife With Margaret Mussetter as chairman during the first semester, and then under the leadership of Charles Devine for the remainder of the year, the Social Com- mittee more than any other group promoted campus friendships. Persons serving on this committee throughout the year were Elizabeth McLeod, Lorraine Louden, Ruth Ketcham, Virginia Underwood, and Eldon Pearce. The group in charge of the Freshman Orientation Program at the opening of the fall semester was given much help by this committee in the preparation and carrying out of the Steak Bake at Griffith Park. ln addition to this affair, the first two weeks of school brought forth a very successful All-College Banquet and Kum 'n' Meetum Party. Planning events for occasions when other 1221 Charles Devine, Lorraine Louden, Elizabeth McLeod, Eldon Pearce, Margaret Mussetter, Virginia Underwood organizations were not occupying student time, the Social Committee sponsored sev- eral affairs during the year. ln October the students gathered in the gay festivities of a Hallowe'en Costume Party. ln November it was the atmosphere of Thanksgiving that stimulated a party in the Elysian Park Recreation Hall. The St. Patrick's Semi-Formal Prom occurred in March. The evening was filled with a varied program, including the award- ing of door prizes, a dance contest, and an election and crowning of a queen for the evening. ln April they sponsored a combined cul- minating event at the Women's Hi Jinks and Men's Stag. Outdoor parties at the beach, at Griffith Park, and an all-school dance concluded a very successful year of social activities.

All men's activities were sponsored by the Men's Council, which is composed of all the men presidents on the campus, and was headed by Lawrence Ford, Men's president. The annual Beard-Growing Contest was very successful, a new feature being the selection of iudges from among the women students by popular vote of all the men. When it came to putting on a stag, something entirely new was tried. The men, after completing their own activities, joined the women at their annual Hi Jinx. The highlight of the school year was the Men's Return, a formal dinner dance given in honor of the women students. This year it was held at Westwood Village, with the theme being the World's Fair. fu-ww FIRST ROW: Lawrence Ford, Don Bridgman, Roger Sawyer, Bud Fish, Oran Bollinger.

Like other skills, it must be cultivated in every-day life. Such is the opportunity of those sharing dormitory life. Thoughtful consideration of others is one of the final qualities to emerge in the process of growing into adulthood, and con- tinual necessity for making such adjustments is one of the personal values gained in this group life. The students learn that the pleasant associations also have their responsibilities, and they soon discover that the happy relationships that give interest to life are the result of Cooperation and understand- ing. And so, the desire to live better with themselves and others is fulfilled in a wholesome Christian atmosphere. 123.- Lawrence Ford, Robert Pope Charles Devine, John Morganthaler and Cliff Argall
