UPSILON GAMMA CHI Everything from a Leap Year Show to a picnic appeared on the Up- silon Gamma Chi calendar for this year. Birthday parties were the first feature sponsored by the organization. These were held monthly for all students who celebrated a birthday dur¬ ing the prescribed month. The gatherings became over-popular, however, for it appeared that half the school had a natal day every month, conse¬ quently they were discontinued at the end of the first semester due to the expense incurred. On December 18 the Woman’s Club again entertained. This time it was a Christmas Tea in honor of the student’s parents. The affair proved a huge success, and the graciousness of Upsilon Gamma Chi as hostesses was in a large measure responsible. Beginning with the second semester U. G. C. sponsored weekly dances during fourth period. Music was furnished by Riordan’s orchestra and a five cent charge was levied to make possible a picnic later in the yean The picnic, in honor of the Men’s Club, was held at Pacific Grove. Food, barebacks and wind were prevailant. All the hot dogs and cake that one wanted and dishes of ice cream were in a large measure responsible for the success of the affair. A Leap Year Show was one of the most popular of the social affairs sponsored by the group. Every girl invited not only one but as many as half a dozen men to accompany her to a program of movie s and local talent held in the auditorium. Commendation is due Miss Fraser as advisor and President Lillian McCleod for their work in managing this active organization. E A T A .21 •
