Christmas Card Cnnnmittee ANYONE who looked into the reception room on a fall evening could find the Christmas Card Committee sketching and composing, and more often than not fretting over some nearly appropriate design. The mak- ing of a Christmas Card to suit the myriad places and persons that receive our cards each year is a task which demands good taste. After debating and refusing hun- dreds of varieties of Merry Christmases and Happy New Years, they settled on a plain folded card. The cover showed a branch of holly and the Academy Sealg the inside was a painting of the Regiment marching to its I Q xxx! if: I ': 5 P 'f Tiffff TTI T-QF'-.

In spite of the fact that the majority belong to the former, there were a number of us who could be very convincing proponents of any cause.

Slings lilies-st Connnnmiiltea: TASTE in jewelry runs within wide limits, and catering to the tastes of a thousand midshipmen is no easy matter. The class crest committee produced the design later used on our rings, worn first in pin form by our girls. Tedious hours spent in designing and selecting were not wasted. Once the designing was done and the class had selected its choice, the work of the ring committee was just begun. here was still the problem of getting the crest in pro- uetion and straightening out all the difliculties that ccompany jewelry in time of war. The ring committee ot only designed our class crest, but saw to it that all emands were supplied. linss 0fiid:er5 The class stood together on most of the major issues nd the problem of selecting capable representa- 'ives was merely a question of choosing the best. hen privileges were desired or when lines had been verstepped, it was the duty of our officers to act as uppliants or scapegoats. Theirs was a thankless task, nd their best efforts were often met coldly at both nds of the liaison. The Class Crest Committee designed what would a-mount to our fraternity pin.

lleception Comlalittee ACTING asuhosts for the regiment, the reception com- mittee had the pleasant task of seeing that visiting teams, celebrities, and entertainers were made at home. The character of the committee's work varied widelyg when the guests included stars like Donna Dae, playing host looked like interesting work. Not all of the work was equally glamorous. The reception committee planned the meals of the guests, made the necessary arrangements for their lodging, and acted as guides in the yard, point- ing out this or that point of interest for the thousandth time. Smitty and his men did much planning and pre- paring that went unnoticed by the regiment, but it is the Reception Committee that establishes our reputation as a good host. Press detail NAVY furnished its press boxes with something which resembled talking score cards. The press detail spotted for radio broadcasters and gave them names and numbers for every play in the game. Members of the press detail worked with reporters on their play by play accounts of a football team that the whole nation grew to know by the end of the season. Neuendorfler and his gang played an important role in keeping the news world straight on a team we didn't want misrepresented. Smith and the Reception Commfittee were the hosts to many visizfting teams cmd celebrities. ri? F efwon H71 X -Q. e .wel 4 T V EQQ 53, ew 5?
