She has had full responsibility being assisted by regular commercial and other post graduate students including Kenneth Maxson. Alice Bunt. Phyllis Leonard, and Bessie Milliman. Graduate students often have the feeling of being left out of things.” Votes from the seventh, eighth grades, and high school for the officers of the Dramatic Club for 1934 and 1935, tended to bring a warm welcome to the post graduates. Elmer Wilkins was chosen presi- dent; Phyllis Leonard, vice president, and Eloise Jacox, secretary and treasurer. As for the part played by the post graduates in the noon-hour leagues, it is found that they have performed in the capacities of coach, referee, and player.
