The commit- tees, under the co-chairmanship of Beverly Hancock and Gerry Croteau, made the evening most enjoyable. A novel program, under the direction of Bayne Drown and Charles Davis, was the highlight of the evening. As usual at all A.M.S.C. par- ties there was an over-abun- dance ofdelicious refreshments for which Eva Murray, with the aid of her committee, Willis Dunham, Robert Holt, Clara French, Claire Malo,and Joseph Cyr, were responsible.

Ruth Cohen, as chairman, was assisted by Tom Stretton, Bayne Drown, Charlie Davis, Eveline Masse and Jane Mynahan on the Entertain ment Committee. THETA PI INITIATION Once again this year the Theta Pi oldies slung their worst at the innocent pledgies and consequently swelled their number to an all-time high. It seems the patrons ofthe Auburn Theater were more engrossed with the monstrosities on the outside that night, than they were with the movie which they had intended seeing. It is still a question of who actu- ally owns the Auburn side of the bridge.
