Students who desired to become members were admitted, and Ida Miller was chosen president. Through the efforts of Miss Miller, a representative float was entered in the Neewollah parade. The society, however, was very loosely organized and its real work was not definitely arranged until the latter part of January. At this time twenty-five girls met with their sponsor, Mr. A. H. Klassen, and formally organized. They selected as their official uniforms blue and gold caps, black skirts, and bright blue sweaters, adorned with gold felt pirates, The Pirate being the symbol of the Independence Junior college. The young women faithfully supported the various activities of the college, especially basketball and track. At the termination of the basketball season, the Pep Club treated the team to a banquet, in recognition of the service rendered to the college. For the purpose of raising funds for the Inkanquil, the Pep Club. aided by the Y. M. C. A., held a carnival in Nees Hall, on March 9. Here, appro- priate decorations and booths were arranged for the entertainment of a large attendance. In addition to the carnival, a superb cast of both old and new favorites presented eleven acts of vaudeville. The event was so successful that the Pirate pepsters plan to make it an annual affair.

Dramatics Although there is no regular dramatic department in the college, there has been some excellent work done in this field. Miss Austin directed and pre- sented a one act play Suppressed Desires , and the annual college play, Smil- in' Thru . Suppressed Desires is a comic satire on Freud. With Tessiana Blakeslee as Mrs. Brewster, Bernice Shile as her sister, and Dick Peck aS Stephen Brewster, it was greatly appreciated. 'tSmilin' Thru , presented March 23, was enthusiastically received. The action of the play took place in England during the time of the war. The plot is a combination of two love stories, that of Kathleen and Kenneth Wayne at the present time, and of John Cartaret and Moonyean Clare fifty years before. Outstanding among the characters was Richard Sturges,who made a lov- able and pathetic John Carteret. His blustering was highly contrasted with the Quiet dignity of Fred Goodwin as Dr. Owen. Sylvie Knothe showed real talent in her change from the dainty little Kathleen in the first act, to the matured and saddened woman in the third. Tessiana Blakeslee took the difficult role of Moonyean. George Crane and Floyd Colburn, in their portrayal of John Carteret and Dr. Owen fifty years before, showed great ability. Dick Peck took a double role, that of Jeremiah Wayne and of Kenneth Wayne. Much ofthe success of the play was due to the superior coaching of Miss Austin, and to the students who built the scenery and the costumes and flowers.

A. A. Realizing that there are many roads to wisdom, I. J. C. has been devoting itself to both the mental and physical development of its students. The aquatic, outdoor, and court sports which are sponsored by the VV. A. A. give the college woman a few hours of wholesome exercise each week, which enable her to return to her classes refreshed and invigorated. Oflicers for this year are: P1'esident, Alene Bassett, Vice-President, Bernice Shileg Secretary, Ruth Johnson, and Treasurer, Audrey Stark. Any college girl is eligible for membership if she is passing in at least ten hours of college work, and has won the first one hundred points. With the aid of Miss Alice May Austin, sponsor, and Miss Zella Spradling, sports instruc- tor, W. A. A. has been able to furnish the necessary exercise perhaps as no other organization could have. It has stimulated an interest in college ath- letics by cultivating a taste for sports and a knowledge of games. Last fall, the sophomore members gave a tea for the women of the col- lege. This was the beginning of the year's activities which ended successfully with the annual football banquet. The reception, which followed, was given at the Presbyterian church parlors for the whole school. Page 19 g.q.m..w--.A.
