AWS Highly successful in fulfilling its purpose — to promote the best interests of the women students on the campus — AWS, the official women ' s council, maintained an active program through- out the year. To acquaint freshman girls with college life, the upper class women staged a big sister pro- gram during Freshman Week. Throughout the year the council presented fashion shows, lectures on subjects of feminine interest, canasta sessions, and socials. It under- took the editing of the ASUH Student Directory, sponsored the Foster Parent plan, investigated rest-room conditions, and participated in the Operation MIKI and March of Dimes cam- paigns. The group endeavored to cooperate fully with the ASUH and ICC. The inauguration of Women ' s Week, March 6-11, was another successful social venture.

ICC Ralph Aoki Elsie Ryusaki Son: . ... ..:. Harold Yoshida The Inter-Club Council was created by the ASUH Council in 1947 with the purpose of form- ing a consolidated group of campus clubs to cooperate with each other and with the program of the ASUH. The council is composed of one rep- resentative each from the various organizations, its five officers and an advisor. In its third year of operation, the Inter-Club Council made many worthy achievements. It co-sponsored the much-needed used-book ex- change with the Junior Class. The ICC conducted a Leadership Conference in February. The body also acted as the initial coordinator and super- vised all financial ventures undertaken by cam- pus clubs. The officers of the council for the year were Chairman Ralph Aoki, Vice-Chairman Joseph Shelzi, Recording Secretary Grace Kumashiro, Corresponding Secretary Elsie Ryusaki, and Treasurer Harold Yoshida. Miss Esther Rugland was the advisor. FIRST ROW, left to right: Sohei Lamate, Ray Hoftel, Fred Chang, Julian Smith, Joal Dunston, Joe Shelzi, Sam Lee.

BOG The new game room in Hemenway Hall, an outcome of the BOG space allocations program. Hemenway Hall, the union building, was erected in 1938 to provide a center for co-curricular activities. Formally opened in March of 1939, the building was named the Union Building and later renamed by the Board of Regents, Hem- enway Hall in honor of the late Charles Reed Hemenway. In 1947 the Board of Governors of Hemenway Hall, known as BOG on the campus, was organized by a joint stu- dent-faculty committee appointed by President Gregg Sinclair with the pri- mary purpose of coordinating and pro- moting the social activities of the hall. In the third year of operation, the twelve-man board, headed by Chairman Howard Lau, was confronted with prob- lems of space allocation, furniture, and program. The establishment of a barber- shop and the allocation of the new wing as the ASUH office were a .few of the many decisions made by the board. Among the various activities spon- sored by the BOG were interclass mix- ers, a masquerade ball, a baby derby, the club BOG night club, dancing classes and many musical recitals.
