SOCIAL COMMITTEE McGowan, La3ounty, Sayre, Lyman, Langthorne, Southworth, Leavenworth. lt happened this way. The Social Committee toolc a tip lrom the method employed by little jaclc l-lorner and got their collective heads together in the proverbial corner. Then sticlqing their collective thumbs in the pie they pulled out a plum in the person of Bill Sawyer and his swing band. Much ol the Fine success ol the social season can be attributed to this swing dispensor ol distinction. ln signing a term by term contract with the Universitys popular band, the Com- mittee succeeded in securing one of Michigan's smoothest orchestras at a very reasonable price. With this attractive drawing card, hoards ol Michigan Normal dancers attended the regular parties promoted by the Social Committee, Social Committee activities centered around three types of dances. l'leld regularly were the traditional Tuesday night Kresge dances, These parties, held between 6:30 and 7:30 o'cloclc, ohfered relaxation from monotonous studies to many Michigan Normal students. Beissel's and Stadtmiller's Five piece campus orchestras Furnished music lor the ten-cent parties. Winter term Found a revival ol the popular Woolworth dance which had function- ed so well in its primary trial the previous winter. Sandwiched in between Fraternity and sorority parties which were scheduled quite regularly throughout the winter term, the Woolworth has one ol the Fine attributes of the Kresge. It is based on the theory that Michigan Normal students need their meager Funds, will better attend a ten-cent dance. Therefore, at these parties students danced to the best bands in the band reproduced on a recording machine, Everybody came stag, everybody mixe . Among the hit Friday evening parties promoted by the Social Committee were the Fall and Spring Cabaret Parties, the Grid Swing, and the Christmas novelty dance. Reacting to the demand ol many students on the campus, the Social Committee promoted dancing classes every Thursday after Customers dances. Many Fine dancers were the product ol these classes. D Members ol this years Social Committee were: Mr. Florence Lyman, Social' irector, Ray LaBounty, Ruth Southworth, Delos Leavenworth, l-lelene Langthorne, Gerald McGowan, and glean Sayre. 20

MEN AT THE I-IELM Long neglected when credit was expressed for eiiiciency in administrat- ing, in promoting, and in the shaping oi student opinion and interest on the campus are the class advisors and the manager of Charles Mclfenny l-lall. Much oi the Fine Worl4 done by the classes can be attributed to the careful guidance and weighted advice of these class sponsors. Mclfenny l-lall does much in building the character oi the Michigan Normal graduates. lt is there that they do much of their playing, and it is the duty of the manager to use this time in molding good citizens. -l-hese heretofore unherolded ad- ministrators are Leslie A. Butler, senior sponsor, George Willoughby, junior sponsor, Simon Fagerstrom, sophomore sponsor, Dean Milton l-lover, fresh- man sponsor, and William Broyvnrigg, manager of Charles McKenny l-lall, Leslie A.
