e Officers President EDWIN Mardock Secretary -Treasurer FRANCIS MiLLIFF Faculty Advisor MARION McCart Through its affihation with the National Rifle Association, the College Rifle Club has many advantages. The club receives a supply of targets, and the members are allotted a certain amount of ammunition. Likewise national matches arc sponsored; our college team entered these several times to return with honors. More numerous, however, are the local competition matches. Engagements with the National Guard Unit here and a team f rom the College of the Pacific Rifle Club proved to be very interesting. There were thirty-six members in the club during the last semester, several of whom showed outstanding ability as marksmen. McCart coached the mem- bers who represented the College: Mardock, Corrigan. Case. Munson, Hall, O ' dell, Donkin and Milliff. Two guns are used by the club: a twenty-two calibre Springfield with telescope sight is used on the fifty-foot indoor range located in the basement of the north building, and a thirty calibre Springfield service rifle with peep or battle sight is used on the longer outdoor ranges. With additional equipment, the club expects some very active competition during the coming year. [65] i||

Beta Phi Fall Officers Spring Jessie McCready President Emil Carlson Joe Bispo Vice-President GERTRUDE BOEHNE Alice Reid Secretary-Treasurer JUNE BECKER David Gray Business Manager MARVIN MoRRIS Faculty Advisors WiLLETTE B. Murray Arthur W. March The largest club in College, the Beta Pi. has been among the most active and progressive. Membership consists of all biological science students, both past and present. Beta Phi has been something more than just another organization. The Club started things off with a bang by having a big picnic. Games, stunts, songs, bonfire, food and more food — it was great! The chicken supper at Guild Hall in November will also be remembered as a most successful affair. The San Francisco trip on February 16 was one of the biggest things attempted by the Beta Phi. The thirty students who made the trip divided their time between the museum and aquarium at Golden Gate Park, the beach, and other points of interest. Other events during the spring semester were the big party in April and the trip to Moss Beach, where various forms of marine life were subjected to the scrutiny of the members. Throughout the school year there has been a wonderful spirit of co-opera- tion among the members. Beta Phi belongs to the big family. and is showing the real M. J. C. spirit. 1641 i r

Le Cercle Francais Fall Officers Spring Gladyce WiLLSON — President GladyCE WiLLSON John PEARCE Vice-President GLADYS RAFTER GERALDINE GaLUSHA Secretary ELSIE TALBOTT William Brooke Treasurer William Brooke Mildred Culpepper Program Viola Donkin Orlena Hawkins Social Orlena Hawkins Faculty Advisor HERBERT E. COLLINS Bonjour! and Comment allez-vous. ' ' have become very popular remarks about the campus since the formation of the Le Cercle Francais last fall. It was for the purpose of arousing interest in French as a language outside of the classroom that the club was formed. Members were entertained at semi-monthly meetings. Among the events of these reunions was a lecture concerning France, featuring Paris, illustrated by colored slides, to which others beside club mem- bers were invited. In addition a program in collaboration with French students of the high school was undertaken. Spelling matches in French, at once a delight and terror, were made a part of the informal entertainments, as were card games, and folk songs of France. To add to the interest, plays were acted by the members of Le Cercle, and the programs closed with the singing of La Marseillaise. The fact that the members have profited by this means of learning the language is easily observed by their increased ability to express themselves in French. [66]
