FRANCES ANDERSON The Womants Club, founded in 191'? through the efforts of Miss Florence Anderson of Wakefield, Nebraska, is an organization to which every Augie girl may belong, and consequently it is one of the most cos- mopolitan and popular organizations of the school. Enjoyable meetings are held every month in the form of teas and parties. In the fall each Woman's Club member is a Big Sister to a new little freshman girl. With big sisters to show them around, the freshmen are introduced to everyone else on campus and made to feel at home at Augie from the start. This movement is climaxed with a ttBig Sister tea. The annual Co-ed banquet, Which was a Valentine affair this year held on February 12, is one of the most attractive social functions of the spring semester. Here class rivalry is at high pitch. The girls are seated according to classes at separate tables, and there are toasts, songs, and yells for each class. The point of it all Seems to be for each class to try to make more noise than any other or than all the rest put together. This year the seniors staged an overwhelmingly vociferous victory. Mrs. Wald was the Speaker of the evening; the girls will long remember her Fireside Chats. Mrs. Garvin, former dean of women and originator of the 151-31: Comed banquet four years ago, made a few remarks, and Dean Pearson spoke to the girls. The furnishing of the living room of the girls' dormitory, including a picture by Sandztn, which was added this year, is one of the accomplish- ments of the Womants Club Page Thirty

BRODEEN EVELYN DICE LORAINE SWANSON Shortly after taking possession of their splendid new dormitory, in the fall of 1928, the girls therein organized the Dormitory Club for the purpose of fostering closer and more friendly relations among themselves and 0f co6perating with the Dean of Women in deciding questions per- taining to dormitory life, and during the short period of its existence the club has proved of great benefit to all. An executive committee, under the name of House Council, consisting of one girl selected from each corridor, meets frequently with the club officers and Dean and prepares questions for submission to the entire group which is really almost an entirely self-governing body. During the past year, among material accomplishments has been the purchase of a tadio and the painting of the Spread-Room furniture. But more important activities have included the fifteen-minute nightly services conducted by the girls during Lent, entertainments such as the showing of moving pictures of the work of the Deaconess Institute at Omaha, and, not to be forgotten, the occasional open-house parties, such as at Home- coming, when the men are permitted to roam the halls and visit the rooms. One new stunt this year was so enjoyable that it seems destined to become a permanent annual custom. At Christmas time all the girls went Caroling, visiting the professors' homes, the Seminary, and the fraternity houses, afterwards, of course, having eats in the living room of the Dormitory, The latest club undertaking is the improvement of the dor- mitory telephone system to eliminate muCh running up and down stairs to the one and only and to do away with the long waiting lines which have been known to reach from the telephone to the drug store.
