Stensaas, were carried on during the 1936-37 school year by twenty creative student writers.

Approximate- ly 400 copies of the black leatherette- covered magazine with its silver letter- ing on the front were sold. In keeping with the purpose of the club, meetings consisted in the reading and criticizing of members' contribu- tions. Twice during the fall semester 59 l l v outside speakers addressed the group on literary subjects.

The year,s activities were headed by Pershing Olson, presidentg Betty Chow, vice-president, and Ida Vincent, secretary-treasurer. Members whose work was published in First the Blade, California college publication containing original writ- ings of undergraduates, were William Nye, Rosalind Odell, Olson, Marie Smith, and Miss Vincent. t Members of the Scribblers Club '
