The Alexis Society is one of our school ' s most active groups. The aim of the group is to bring before those students who are interested in Christian work the problems that they are apt to meet in the church. The monthly programs consisted of speeches, panel discussions and skits. For the first semester the officers were: president, Richard Sleiter; vice-president, Joel Anderson; treasurer, Willis Wessman; and secretary, Miriam Johanson. During the second semester the cabinet consisted of Gordon Thompson, president; Robert Peterson, vice-president; William Peterson, treasurer; and Gloria Mitchell, secretary. The college club was organized several years ago to attempt to bring the various groups of the school together for programs of a more literary nature. At present, how- ever, the group has not been as active as it was in previous years. The future of the club is being planned for by the officers: president, W. Peterson; vice-president, Violet Carlson; secretary, Ahce Olson; and treasurer, Julie Ann Erickson. The first semester officers were: president, W. Haring; secretary-treasurer, W. Ericson.

This year ' s chorus consisted of nineteen members with Professor Nels Stjernstrom as direc- tor. The chorus presented only two concerts. The first of these was in the fall at the Central Baptist Church of St. Paul. The second, in the closing days of the first semester, was held in Jackson Hall in Minne- apolis. Plans were being made for an annual concert tour, but because several members of the chorus were ineligible for the second semester ' s work, the plans were discontinued. The remaining members continued to practice each week. Wilbur Ericson was the pianist. Other officers were: president, Gunnar Hoglund; vice-president, Dale Bjork; secretary, David Danielson; treasurer, Robert Norstrom; librarian, Howard Olson. Thirty
