' ' Imagine luscious cream puffs filled with cup grease, and lemon pie. in giant cuts, covered with fluffs of foamy ivory soap! There were three such initiations during the past year, new members being admitted immediately after awards of block letters were made. Since the purpose of the local Varsity Club is to create and maintain a spirit of sportsmanship among the athletes at all times, work was done to interest high school stars in Modesto Junior College athletics. Every year the Club holds an annual get-to-gether with former members of Junior College teams and all graduating letter men from the neighboring high schools. Among the social activities of the year was a trip to the Sierra Nevadas for two lively days of fishing, hunting, swimming, and eating ducks. Representing the Men ' s Athletic Department of the College, the Varsity Club has done much toward introducing new sports as well as increasing interest in the established ones. The membership has been substantially increased during the last year, which has been very encouraging for the Varsity Club.

Although it is less than two years old, the Camera Club is rapidly becoming one of the most popular organizations in school. With an active membership of over thirty, the club participated in several field trips, banquets, and informal entertainments during the past year. Members of the club get a great deal of pleasure out of developing and printing their own pictures. In fact, they have found it so interesting that the darkroom is always crowded with men experimenting with their films. They all feel that the knowledge of photography gained by participating in the club ' s activities will prove beneficial to them in the future. One of the outstanding accomplishments of the club this year is the founding of the College Scrap Book. This is composed of snaps of events of interest taken about the campus. With pages devoted to football, field trips, the bonfire rally, and campus snaps, the book presents an accurate and interesting record of the school year that all can enjoy. This year marks the beginning of the Scrap Book, but it will be kept up by the Camera Club each year and when completed, it will be an excellent pictorial history of M, J. C. [58] --• '

C. A. group established itself. Interest didn ' t stop there, however, for the newly initiated girls were introduced to a well-rounded program for the year. Every other Thursday a general meeting was held to which some out-of-town speaker brought new ideas. At other times a general discussion on important topics served to arouse much interest. In work of service, the Y. W. C. A. girls served a supper to the Business and Professional Women ' s Club. The money cleared sent a delegate to Asilomar. The never-to-be-forgotten social times included a pot-luck supper, some picnics, and also a swimming party and hay-ride with members of the Y. M. C. A. 1601
