PooLE The WOmC11,S Dayroorn Student Government Association exists to make possible group activities by the non-resident women. Daily contacts among the members and common problems tend to keep the organization on rather an informal basis, with a spirit of cooperation and good fellowship prevailing. Occasional business meetings are held in order to discuss problems of the group. Last fall the organization took an active part in Freshman Orientation Week. A social high-light was the Hallowe'en Tea given by the Day Room girls in the Second Floor Lounge for the dormitory girls. Several noon-day luncheons for all the day-room Women rounded out the social program. 26

4 YW V A,3,M'z.. ia? THE 1940 PRAECO ti is i it The PRAECO Staff presents a new yearbook. From padded cover to padded cover is found a series of changes that gives the publication new life and new appeal. The theme Creativeness is carried out in two ways on the divider pages. Not only do the sketches illustrate the theme, but they are actually creative pieces, drawn by students. More student art work appears on these pages than has been customary for the past several years. The use of color, inaugurated in PRAECO last year, makes these dividers still more attractive. Recognition is awarded original and creative student work in the 1940 PRA1-zoo. This is the revival and revisio11 of a former practice-a revival, because student work has been published in PRAECO before, but not since 1930, a revision, because not only college work, but work done by the Campus School students as well, has a place in the organization of the book. A Student Index is another innovation. To improve the appearance of the pages given for organization pictures and resume of activities, the listing of members is omitted, and the Index of students' names and activities in the back of the book is substituted for it. The Index has allowed a different and more satisfactory arrangement of organizations. Making a definite attempt to center all the material around the theme, the Staff has linked actual creativeness with the results of creativeness. Original ideas, the new features and revised organization, are incorporated in the book, creative work done by the student body appears in the feature section, the faculty members share the honors, receiving mention for original work they have done. The results of the theme were used to illustrate the theme. Creativeness-in the student body, among tl1e faculty, in the classroom, in sports, in extra-curricular activities -is illustrated by its end product in this, TFHE '1940 PRAECO. 28
