EACH MONTH we chart our daily course with the aid of an invaluable compass -the large white Activities calendars in both the second-floor and lower halls. With these on display well in advance, complete to the date, time and place of every meeting of every club, our excuse that we didn't know falls through. Surprisingly enough, we do know, and we do attend the parties, illustrated lec- tures, and practices recorded here. Sally Walsh, leader of leaders, Qfor leaders, every one, compose the Boardj , saw to it that meeting-times were given in weeks prior to their taking place, that meetings did not conflict, and in gen- eral, made sure that things were not awry about five o'clock, on campus. . ? y' To each of these girls we owe the thought and ideas behind our meet- ings. From making shell earrings at the Art Guild to watching colored mov- ies of Mexico at the Spanish meetings, they saw that we enjoyed our- selves after class. Our interested attendance at meetings, whether we be- longed to the club or not, proved that they knew what we liked in clubs.

Representing the stand- ards of law and order among under- graduates, our dozen wearers of the golden tassel are girls outstanding for enthusiasm and school spirit. A revised demerit system, greatly in- creased participation in intercollegiate meetings and forums, frequent dances, a supervision committee for the smoker, and monthly assemblies for entertain- ment by each class and the airing of our woes are some of this year's innovations. We wore our hats off campus, and our stockings on, or if we slipped up, we paid our quarter fines and watched the demerit lists posted every so often. But whichever way it happened, we kept smiling at the twelve girls we think best represent us. We thank them for serving us so well.
