With dazzling Junior blazers and not one, but two freshman grand-daughters in tow, the junior women began their reign as upper-classmen. Led by Fraeda Aronovitz, juniors began the year with the Junior Grandmother Tea and a class picnic on Balch Fields, went on to snowball Hghts with the sophomores, and ended with the traditional Strawberry Festival held in Risley courtyard each spring for the graduating seniors. The council also continued their Book Scholar- ship which gives grants of credit lor books at the Co-op and Triangle, and found time to co-operate with the men's council on one of the junior class' primary interests-Junior Yveek. The merifs council, drunk with power, would not wait until fall to function, but arranged a class beer bout in the spring three weeks after election. Con- tinuing their early spring policy, the council quickly decided on a Hot Toddy party to thaw sophomores out after the Dartmouth game, and a rathskeller dance at the Straight for the second week in February. And of course-always on their minds-Junior lfVeek.

Ulkfelcome back, Sami' was the greeting extended to all seniors last fall. The men's council, led by Presi- dent Walt Ashbaugh and Secretary Jim Stocker, worked throughout the year on the theme of Senior Sam. The council consisted of ten representatives, seven of whom were elected and three appointed. One of the main objectives of the council, to create unity and class spirit, was accomplished through tea dances throughout the year. The large group of live- year students who graduate in '52 were considered part of the class of '51 and participated in all the senior Standing: Robin XVestbro0k. Bruce Widger.

Traditional senior hats fgolf caps this yearj were again sold by the council to help in the hnancing of Senior VVeek. All Senior YVeek activities were spon- sored by the men's and wo1nen's councils. The women, realizing a need for additional vocational guidance. sponsored a lecture and discussion series on additional opportunities for women, and began this year what might well become a lasting tradition-the song con- test for all the women's living units. A final part of both councils' responsibility was the planning and execution of COlHl1lCIlCC1l'lCD.f and Alumni activities. ' CLASS COUNCILS

' 3 CLASS COUNCILS With fall in the air and the green class of '54 on the quad, the sophomore councils began their first big project of the year by grabbing two dollars from each freshman and placing a fashionable red dink on his bewildered head. Aiming for greater class participation, the councils conducted a sign-up period for specialized committees to select blazers, to edit the class Newsletter,,' and to work on the Sophomore Prom, thc class banquet, the senior-sophomore coffee hour, and other social events. The men's and women's councils merged their efforts in sponsoring one of their largest joint func- tions, the Sophomore Benefit Concert given in the spring to aid the music department. A stall selected from the class edited a monthly newsletter which had been started in the freshman year, and as another joint function, the Sophomore Prom highlighted the pre-Easter season. Still more to add to the social calendar were the annual banquet lfor women of the class of '53 and the coffee hour given in honor of the graduating women.
