AEE (Care As freshmen we discovered that all students are auto- matically members of the Athletic Association, under the direction of Athletic Council. A picnic at the Country Club and the hockey tournament were Council sponsored events of the fall. With great anticipation we awaited the volleyball, basketball, tennis, archery, and recreational games tournaments which followed throughout the year. On several occasions high school groups gathered at Coker for “Play Days,” directed by Council. This year, Liz Degenhardt, President annual picnic. Helen and Liz dish out chicken at the for the first time in many years, Coker was host for “Col- lege Play Day.” Giving athletic awards for participation in athletic events was a highlight of the year, but the May Day ac- tivities climax Athletic Council work. The pageantry of the coronation, the beauty of the dances, the breathless suspense of the crew races, the excitement of the tennis doubles, the skill of the swim meet were the results of the efforts of our Athletic Council.

How can a student best prepare to meet these requirements? What problems confront a young person entering this field today? These and many other important questions are discussed when the business minds of the student body get together at the meetings of Chi Beta Epsilon.
