The purpose of the club is to arouse an appreciation of journalism in its members. Officers for the year were: james Dillon, presidentg George Wright, vice-president, James Higgins, secretary: Zlllll Robert Dillon, treasurer. In keeping with its journalistic program the club members made an interesting tour of the Columban Press. Later in the year a visit was made to The Oregonian. The Scriveners also took a leading part in social events. The club distinguished itself by sponsoring the first dance ot the year. This was followed by two other enjoyable and successful dances. The Scriveners' first year of existence was brought to a fitting close with a journalists' banquet held in the Rose Room of Campus Commons on Mziy' 15. At this banquet the l9-ll Columbiad was shown to the club members.

MONOGRAM CLUB EMBARKING on what proved to be an active and successful year, the members of the Monogram Club elected officers at the initial meeting held early in the first semester. 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.

MEN OF DESTINY SEVERAL MEMBERS of the senior class banded together at the beginning of the school year and formed an organization which they called the M. O. D.'s- Men of Destiny. Composed entirely of seniors, it at first had six charter members, all of whom served as officers of the club. They were: Tom Volk, Head Neighbor, John Hoffman, First Neighbor, Bill Kearns, Second Neigh- borg George Wright, Third Neighbor, Bill Campau, Fourth Neighbor, and Bob! Leipzig, Treasurer. Although a new club it was one of the most active during the past year. The first of its activities was a doughnut sale which proved to be a financial success. A dance after the Milwaukie-Columbia basketball game proved to be one of the most outstanding nickelodeon dances of the year. The Men of Destiny did not exactly hoard all their earnings. Learning that one of the trophies in the library had been damaged they sup- plied the funds which were necessary for its repair. The members of this club were active in sports and did a great deal to bolster school spirit during the year. They also boasted several scholars who appeared regularly on the Honor Roll. The entire membership of the club will be lost by graduation, and the continuance of the organization will depend upon the future seniors.
