Sigma Beta Tau, more commonly known as the Commercial Club, started the year off by electing the following officers: president, La- Moine Cook: vice-president, Aina Eastburgg sec- retary-treasurer, Dennise Boome. Evelyn Ennis and Bettie Roberts were elected to Congress. On March 8, 1946, four little Seniors, with Miss Strackbein as chaperon, enjoyed a tour of the big business houses in San Francisco. All had SICMA BETA TAU a good time and came back tired but happy. In the spring the club had a picnic and swim- ming party. The picnic was attended by the usual crowds of ants and flies but we didn't mind at all. After we had stuffed to the limit on our picnic lunch we rested an hour or two and then took to the water. We enjoyed the party, even though our sunburnt noses and backs were quite painful. Living up to their motto We Serve, the Iunior Bed Cross had a full year of doing just that. For the benefit of the wounded soldiers, these members made sixty pairs ot bedroom slippers, and with the assistance of the Art Department completed an assortment of five hundred Christ- mas cards to till San Francisco's urgent quota.

Another successful year of Bed Cross work is accomplished and now to be included in the past record.

GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League is more than just a league of girls. lt has an active part in the promotion of a Well-governed and well-planned school year. The most important job is sponsoring and giving parties. This year the Girls' League had four major entertainments. First was the dance in january featuring an Indian theme. A juke box furnished music for several enjoyable hours. Second was a successful hot dog sale which satisfied many appetites. Third was a movie sponsored by the league, The Affairs oi Susan. Last, but definitely not least, was the Mother and Daughter Banquet which went over in a grand way. Everyone who contributed to the success of this year's Girls' League deserves a pat on the back.

MISSION The Mission staff started off their work with a bang by choosing the Windiest day of the year for taking the pictures. But in spite of the wind, the pictures Weregood enough to please even the critical Mission staff. Under the capable leadership of our editor, Freda Hargrove, and the assistant co-editors, Eleanor Anderson and Elvira Hermansen, the Work on the Mission began. Bryce Stetler, bus- iness manager, and his assistant, Fred Callsen, did a grand job of handling the business end of the work. Dennise Roome filled her position as staff secretary in a manner that was much ap- preciated by the entire staff. Of course, there was the usual scramble to get write-ups in on time, finding lost articles and typing copy. But with the excellent advising of Mr. Arganbright and the grand cooperative spirit shown by the staff, the Mission was at last sent to press. TOP ROW: Vandenberg, Alldrin, Stetler, Showers, Callsen.

Placing emphasis on the development of individual initiative, lead- ership, and acceptance of responsibilities, this course offers real opportunities to ambitious stu- dents. A new editor is appointed each quarter to give as many students as possible the exper- iences offered by that phase of the work. The class is organized on a business-like basis, and students must earn a minimum salary of C in order to hold their jobs. Editors for the first three quarters Were Freda Hargrove, Carol Shoemaker, and Bonnie Driver. Announcement of the editor for the fourth quarter was not available before going to press. The representative to Congress was Evelyn Silva.
