THE 1941 E M E RS ON 1 A N Student Government As upholder of Emerson tradition, as instigator of reforms, as connecting link between faculty, administration and students, the Student Government Organization at Emerson has had a very successful year. Activities have included: the annual Interclass Dance, with freshmen as guests: the renovation of the Smoker; the remodelling of its constitution: and general reforms around the school. Under the capable leadership of its officers, the Student Government hopes it has laid a foundation for smooth progress in the years to come.

Soon after we were formally organized, we found ourselves at the mercy of the Upperclassmen when we were informally initiated into the Emerson way of things (no make-up for the girls, bow ties for the boys, back-door only, particular deference to seniors, etc., for a gruelling week). We were forced to call upon every inch of our hidden talent and exhibit it for the upper- classmen: first, at the Hallowe’en party in the Dorm (remembering particularly Keora’s genuine Hawaiian Hulas, complete with grass skirt, leis) ; then later at the Freshman-Sophomore Night when we realized with great reluctance that the Sophomores were really our superiors. As reward for our patience, we were royally entertained as guests at the Interclass Dance held in the Hotel Sheraton. Feeling we must prove our worth, we worked hard on plans for remodelling the smoker, and sponsored a raffle which resulted in a radio-victrola for the College. After watching upperclass public productions, our dramatic classes produced two plays and several pantomimes. We are now looking forward to a summer sail to R. I., final exams, and Freshman-Sophomore Night next fall! 1 28 ]

THE 1941 EMERSONIAN Menorah Society First; Kern, Kaplan, Treasurer; Pies, President; Axelrod, Vice-President; Rosenberg. Secretary. Second: Steinbeck, Ritter, R osenblatt, Shenberg, Ourieff, Winick. Baitler. Herzog. Third: Miller, Rosenfeld, Tuttle, Leven. The Menorah Society of Emerson College boasts of a unique function, in that it is a social group with philanthropic purposes. Each year, Menorah gives a scholarship to a deserving member. The money for this year’s scholar- ship was brought about by an open dinner dance in the fall at the Fox and Hounds Club. There was a large turnout and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest. At the beginning of the school year the new members were entertained by the old members at a tea at the Hotel Statler. There were many new members and the enrollment this year has been the largest ever. 1 30 ]
