c MS Associated Men Students this year number close to 1100. Membership in AMS is automatic- ally open to every male student on campus and this year, with the veteran influx, they out num- ber the feminine contingent nearly 3 to 1. Led this year by prexy Dick Newton, outstanding football and track star, the AMS worked together with the AWS in several school functions. Officers of both AWS and AMS felt that these two organi- -ations were all important in making the initial con- tact with the students. Play night, big sports and dance night on the campus, were planned especially for those students who were interested in athletics and indoor games, and was one of the most sue cessful socials of the year. The AMS sponsored several assemblies throughout the year including a school award as- sembly, a strictly men ' s talent show, and .i Turkey Trot prior to the victorious Thanksgiving Day game. In conjunction with AWS they sponsored an all-school spring assembly and an informal dance. Officers for the year included: President, Dick Newton; Vice President, Bob Olson; Treasurer, Frank Poucher, and Social Chairman, Dick Freek. This year, along with last, the AMS has staged a remarkable come-back after five years of inactivity during the war years.
