Seven-league strides have been taken this year in our athletic accomplish- ments. The largest game attendances of years have been recorded, and the M.I.A.A. championship rests with the S.T.C. football team. Credit being given where credit is due, it goes to numerous people, the outstanding ones being Coach Howard Blair and Coach A. J. McDonald. Coach Blair has been much lauded and duly so, for such work as he has done cannot go unheralded. No finer demonstration of appreciation for his efforts has been shown than during one of the football games this past season when repeated pleas for the crowd to go back to their seats in the grandstand and leave the line of play failed to receive response.

their problems, to determine their time interests, and to discover the best methods Of transforming their interests into abilities. Another step forward this year is the opportunity of students to obtain a new degree at S.T.C.-the B.S. in Commerce. It was brought about by the large number of students who expressed a desire for such a degree. To Dr. Cheek and Mr. Delp goes the credit for the inauguration of this new degree. This is just another step of our faculty to make this the finest institution of its kind in the country. The new Student Health Service is still another achievement that the students can rightly be proud Of. From one small room in the upper hall of the Academic Building, the Student Health Service has grown until it was necessary to move to larger and more complete quarters in the south end of the Academic ing. Today S.T.C. can boast of one of the best equipped health services in the state. MAUIJE R. GREUB, M.S. lfzitrflcloa' in Home Ecozzomifi' ALICE HARRISON, A.M.

made that Coach Blair asked the crowd to disperse, there was an immediate response and this in itself was a tribute to our Coach. The year 1940-41 has been a most pleasant one for athletic enthusiasts. A new football stadium and a new field house, modern to the Nth degree, have furnished a setting worthy of the finest athletic exhibition. Long the dream of Mr. A. W. Briggs and President Ellis, they have become a reality for thou- sands to enjoy. Not to be slighted in the mention of the activities of the faculty are the numerous duties of the wives of out faculty members. Such things as chaperon- ing dances and attending receptions are among many extra-curricular activities of these women. Among the most active along this line are Mrs. L. V. Wfhitney, WINSTON E.
