Founded only last year the Associated 1V1en's Students or- ganization has already achieved an important place among cam- pus societies in its attempt to pro- mote good fellowship and activi- ties on the campus. Cooperating in launching the panel type of debate on this cam- pus the Delta Chi, an organiza- tion sponsored by Phi Rho Pi, have been exceedingly active in promoting forensic activities. The Boots and Daggers was organized in 1927 by the men of Modesto Junior College as an as- sociation to uphold true Pirate sportsmanship and promote col- legiate ' fellowship.

At meetings, held at homes of members, auth- orities lectured in different fields of medicine and served to in- crease the students' knowledge and ability. The Agriculture Club organ- ized early last fall has made an enviable Hrst year's record. Floats entered by the club won first place in Spring Frolic and placed second in the noise parade. Walter Ballard, Lowell Lam- bert, Ernest Stewart and Mino Tavernas, charter members of this active group, competed with students from five western states in the Interstate Livestock show held in San Francisco winning numerous awards. Success epitomizes the 19- 36-1937 season for the Home Economics club whose well-plan- ned educational and social activi- ties were enthusiastically received. Holding a barbecue and dance at Beard Brook Scout house, a Slumber party, which included a buffet supper and theater party, and presenting a Fashion Show to 300 guests representing fifteen schools were among the outstand- ing social events enjoyed by the members. Tutoring and sponsoring mu- sical and literary programs were the projects of the Alpha Gamma Sigma, honorary scholastic socie- ty. In the spring Marvin W. Cragun, a new member of the faculty, succeeded Miss Aline Polk as club adviser.
