Meinlvership was limited to those students of Chemistry who maintained a C average in their studies. Officers for the year were: Robert Dillon, presidentg Fred VVeber, vice-presidentg Kenneth Ford, secretary-treasurer. Several new features were introduced during the past year. Chief among these were the evening laboratory meeting and the showing of motion pictures. Many' unusual experiments were demonstrated in the evening sessions held in the lecture room of the Science Hall, while the motion pictures, presented during the noon hour, dealt with important chemical industries. Making a tour through Swift and Company's Packing Plant, the club members were shown the various ways in which lneat is pre- pared before being put on the market. Highlight of the year's activities was a trip made just before the Easter holidays to the Crown-Zellerbach Paper Mills at Camas, Washington.

With this splendid record of achievement, it is the hope of the members that future Chemistry Clubs will follow the fine and inspiring example set by the organization of I9-I-0 - '-ll.

Those chosen to guide the activities of this club were: Tom Hollcraft, president, Tom Volk, vice-presidentg and Joseph Lair, sec- retary-treasurer. Mr. Fiene, coach of all sports at Columbia, filled the post of faculty adviser. During the past year the members were second to none in their display of school spirit. Social functions and athletic contests were Well attended by the athletes of the school. Of the many activities of the club this year, perhaps the most successful was the annual fall initiations. The purpose was the induction into the club of the new major-letter winners in football, basketball, baseball, and track. This campus organization proved itself capable of carrying out various activities. Members assisted at the in- tramural sports, as well as at varsity basketball games. Also, the largest and best-planned assembly of the year was conducted by the major C winners. The club will be hard hit by graduation this year. Of the thirty-one members, twenty-four are members of the senior class and will be lost by graduation.
