During this period of routine and re- novation, social and athletic activities vied for first honors. The social committee sanctioned the purchase of a new radio- phonograph for use at the increasingly popular Mason gym dances. Kappa Theta came to the front with a successful formal dance, Chi Sigs entertained campus wo- men at their annual Puff and Pant Prom, Sophomores played the gracious hosts at S0den's with skating and dancing as di- versions, Alpha Beta Chi, not 'to he out- done, very efficiently provided their mark on the social calendar with a unique tacky party at the Inn. A slump in foothall wins, in the mean- time, prompted only increased enthusiasm 2 of the student hody. Rousing pep assem- hlies, team send-offs, joyful burials in Gwinn Henry cemetery-all are associated with the fighting spirit characteristic -of C. of E.'s gridiron Preshies. Victory over the Bulldogs of Southwestern partially atoned for the previous losses to Bethany and Wesleyan. The College elevcn looked with renewed hope toward a Thanksgiving victory over Ottawa.

Extensive homecoming' plans were in the making . . . a bonfire, a pep rally, a mystery play, a Pep Club luncheon, a Tur- key Day tussle with the Ottawa Braves, an alumni banquet, a Thanksgiving vespers. The stage was set for a week-end of gala festivities. Hand the GRADE Came Home! Of no little significance was the election of Queen Myers to preside over the 1937 Homecoming activities. Her befitting at- tendants included Alice Wells, Genevieve Stewart, Dorothy Slipsager and Elaine An- derson.
