Nelson Rural As soon as the excitement of enrolling and settling into the new routine had passed, the Rural Department held its first meeting of the new year. The club, which the department sponsors, is called the Sigma Rho, and the students in the department automatically become members of this club when they enroll, and accordingly, officers elected serve both the club and the department. At the annual fall election, the members chose Earl Lerand, president; Willy Lou Stellrecht, vice-president; Bertha Nelson, secretary, and Joe Bushey, treasurer. Our president was doomed to a short term, for he very soon received a telegram requesting his services in North Dakota. We were sorry to lose him, but wo were happy that he secured a position. Miss Stellrecht filled the unexpired term of Earl until the end of the first semester when Marvin Warbelow became president. The other officers remained the same for the rest of the year. Beginning the social events of the year, we held our first party on October 3. An amateur program was held with Major lone Rosberg as guardian of the gong. The Homecoming, an event which always brings out the ingenuity of the different groups in school, was an important occasion for the Sigma Rhos, v ho, not wanting to be outdone, decided to show what they could do. Being limited in funds, we prevailed upon the city for the use of an ancient fire truck, upon which we expended our decorative ability for our float. Pane Iwenly-fifihl
