ball, relay and baseball. Undoubtedly the success of the Imerfraternitv Council this season is due to the able leadership of Lester Johnson. L ester ' s good judgement, even disposition appreciation for the work done by his assistants, made him an able leader. On November 23rd, the Y. W. C. A., repeated their last year s successful Carnival and Circus. The whole affair was well gotten up and the side shows, the booths, etc., were typically unique. Possibly the outstanding feature of the Undergraduate ' s interest in their Alma Mater, was their activities in behalf of the Endowment Drive. The Student Drive was under the Chairmanship of Henry James, assisted by Ed, Scheufler Betty Booth, Wilfred Pryor, Hazen Bond, Frances Randolph, Helen Hanford. Sarah French Smith, Mary Louise Lemon, Mildred Murray, Fred Youngmen and Dorothy Bartley, Frances Randolph won the cup presented by the Sphinx Honor Society, and Sigma Phi Epsilon won the cup presented by the Pyramid Honor Society, Over $70,000.00 was subscribed by the Students. In the filed of athletics, the outstanding feature was our championship Rifle Teams; both the men and the girls. Both H at chetite teams won the Intercollegiate championships. In the field of sport, George Washington was well represented. Football, basket-ball mens ' rille, mens ' tennis girls’ rifle, girls’ hockey girls’ basket-ball, track girls ' tenuis and both men and girls swimming. Impetus in athletic activities was added and fostered under the tutelage of the “G, W. Club, the honorary organization made up of the athletic “Letter” men of the Univer- sity. The guiding spirit of this organization was Hillory Tolson, its President. The G. W.” Club this year has inaugurated the Interclass Athletic Meet which was a pronounced success. After the usual Fraternity dances and Sorority teas, and the New Year Eve dances with open houses, the social life look its place in the foreground on February 2nd, when the Undergraduates, Alumnae and Faculty of the Law School held their annual Law Banquet at the Ebbtti. The banquet was full of pep and cemented the good feeling that exists between the Faculty and the Undergraduate Body, Junior Week next occupied the minds of all. The most important event, of course, was the Junior From, held in the grand Ballroom of the Willard Hotel, under the Chairmanship of Leonard McCarty: all the activities of Junior Week being under the General Chairman- ship of Herbert H. Mitchell, The From, which was held on February 10th, was followed a few days later b the junior Reception on Washington ' s Birthday, which always shapes itself into a tea dance. The Um.nuv Tree takes occasion to commend the activities of Dean William Cabell Van deck who with bis associates, went to the meeting of the American Association of Law Schools in Chicago and through his efforts and persistence brought back word to the Universitv that George Washington was accorded full membership in the Association and was rated in the A tp grade of Law Schools. Debating has always been one of the prominent activities In the University and besides having well representative debating teams of both men and women, who meet the best intercollegiate debaters the interest is not lacking within the University itself. The Colum- bian Debat in Society holds well conducted debates each Friday evening during the scholas- tic year and the Enosinian Society adds its quota to this activity. In the field of publication the University is represented in the annual by the Cherry Trill:, and weekly by the University Hatchet. Bob McNeil is to be complimented for the success of this year ' s Hatchet. The Panhellanie Council which governs and controls the activities among the Sorori- ties is no unimportant factor on the campus, L controls all pledging activities. The “Panhellanie Prom” is also one of the outstanding social events of the year. The year of 1923-24 will close its season with the Law junior Endowment Dance, the Senior Week and the Senior Prom intending the Union Vaudeville and then the Convoca- tion. [ 20 |
