Between semesters a party was held at Joan Ead's home which most of the members attended and enjoyed. Four class parties were held by the sophomores. The first one took everybody by surprise. Early-comers were pressed into service helping to set up ping-pong tables, removing chairs from the cafe! teria, and checking up on the games in Room 5. Two other parties were also the activity kind but were well organized.
