ACTIVITIES The Christmas dinner was held before vacation and helped us find our Christmas spirit. When the May Banquet was held, we all turned out in our best bib and tucker and ended our Women’s League activities with a final flourish. The elven new members of the Beta Gamma Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa were thrilled and honor ed to be invited to join our honor fraternity. Phi Theta Kappa, you know, is a national organization for which scholarship, leadership, and character are the qualifications. The present officers of our chapter are: President, Frances Folgelsonger ; Vice-President, George Klepser; Secretary, Elaine Batzer, and Treasurer, Floyd Slasinski. The new members are: Irving Andrzejewski, Joan Blum, Laura Burgess. John Coats, Julianne Cyajka, Mary Ellen Follette, Joseph Gregory, Gretchen Hine, Joyee Krabbe, Florian Lukowski, and Phyllis McCall. The sponsors are Miss Anschutz and Miss Hellmuth. The social activities of the year were the Pledge Service April 19, and the Initiation Banquet, May 24, both at the Y. W. C. A. At the Pledge Service ihe lucky eleven gave their pledges and received pledge pins The key may be obtaiined after initiation. The faculty and friends were invited to attend the banquet. Dr. John Gardner of Midland First Presbyterian Church spoke. We purchased a Service Flag in the honor of all J. C. men in active miliitary service. (One of the stars is probably yours.) Armistice Day we dedicated the flag at a special assembly. Remember that day when— —?

Calender; Paul Rupff, finance; Catherine De Waele, lounge; Pegge McNamara, pins; Margaret La Fountaine, publicity; Frances Fogelsonger, scrapook; Florian Lukowski, booster; Julianne Czajka,. social; and Ed Cederberg, 2ssembly. There was many a laugh tbout the lounge spring cleaning, which was put off until an unhappy group was finally cornered. The committee (apyroved and appointed by popular demand) washed and dusted in tune with a solid Boggiebeat coming from the radio. All is well and serene now, waiting for the summer studdents to take over. Working with the Student Council in directing College affairs, the Women’s League elected Elaine Batzer for president, Julianne Czajka for vice-prcsident, Gretchen Hine as recording secretary, Mar- jorie Johnson as corresponding secretary.

CAMPUS Our Socio-Geographic Club enjoyed a full schedule this year. but because of gas and tire rationing all the meetings had to be held in Bay City. Our social program began with a tea held in the college lounge honoring the new members. On Oct- ober 8, Miss Hodgson, the club sponsor, acted as hostess at the dinner held at Mrs. Miller’s, the tea room on Broadway. Highlight of the year was the semi-formal dinner at the home of Audrey Sams. We got the Yule- tide Spirit, and filled a basket with groceries for a poor family. You know that we are always ready to help those in need, and the club raised $127.07 for the Chi- nese Relief Fund by selling various articles to the students. We elected for officers: President, Audrey Sams, Vice-President, Margaret Dulong; Secretary, Ann Pearsall. The Tetra Sei has been having a jolly good time as usual. The future nurses, Doctors, Dentists, and Pharmacists elected Bob Koeser, (you of course remember Bob?), as president, and Bill De Young as Vice-President, Marjorie Miller as Secretary-Treasurer. Remember how you loved crispy fried fish? Well, we had a ‘“fish-fry” at Kawkawln. The home- made cider our sponsor, Mr. Martin, brought was just “out of this world.” The rainy, dark day didn’t stop us from having a wonderful time. We had to wade through mud up to our ankles, but we went canoeing down the dark, romantic Kawkawlin River anyway. At Mr. and Mrs. Martin’s dinner party we gathered ’round and ate delicious “gulosh” concocted by Mrs. Martin’s expert hands. Then we played pool (Carrie North was highest as usual) and, believe it or not, we taught Bob Roeser how to knit. The following few lines may somewhat surprize you, but the war has brought about a great many changes in the Engineer’s Club. As you know, our organization represents the students enrolled in the engineering curriculum, but has been very inactive during the past year because any moment we expected to be called to service. Hold it, fellows! Greetings Tetra Sci!
