During the fall quarter the Women’s League gave an initiation party; and sponsored two assembly programs: a Thanksgiving Day program, and a talk on “Christmas in Other Lands” by G. W. Radimersky. Activities for the winter quarter included a Women’s League party; a program on table etiquette; and the Washington tea.

PRAIRIE SMOKE MEN’S UNION President....... Vice-President .. Secretary........ Treasurer....... Faculty Adviser ........Roy Foss ...Maurice Ross Floyd Bond James Boyland Dean E. S. Hatch All men entering the college automatically become members of the college division of the Men’s Union. Its aims are to promote a proper spirit of conduct, to further the spirit of unity and co-operation, and to promote the general welfare of its mem- bers. Oh November 20 over a hundred freshmen were entertained by the upper classmen, who were armed with weapons of every size, sort, and de- scription, all in good working order. The affair ended with a big “feed” of chile con carne, buns, and ice cream. A siege of green ribbons and rolled-up trouser legs completed the initiation. During the winter quarter the Union sponsored an all-college mixer and took charge of an assembly program. This year the task of organizing and sponsoring a band was undertak- en under the capable supervision of Dean Hatch. This is the best band the college has ever had, and it has grown rapidly. Several instruments have been purchased, and it is planned to have all its members fitted with uni- forms in the near future. 1935 s Twenty-nine
