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?

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'-.

E swf ssl' THEQYYQBLD gb we' Russiru: stimulated ann imteewmst in Eewreignm Hannngriamges THE Foreign Language Clubs serve the double purpose of affording more than a classroom acquaintance with the language and people of foreign lands and giving the members an opportunity to practice expressing them- selves in a new tongue. A foreign language, as taught at the Naval Academy, is designed for practical use, and it is essential that men who expect to speak it have more than a mere knowledge of syntax. Each club meets once a week to hear speakers, hold open forums, or to see moving pictures and skits presented in the style and language of another country. High flown as the purpose of the clubs may sound, the gatherings are simple and informal and serve in their designed role inconspicu- ously and pleasantly. The understanding of the several nations thus afforded may soon be put to good use. Italian T M411 G8 V jfrpmzese
