INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE opinion on world affairs is aired when the International Relations Club of Holy Names College meets monthly with the Gonzaga unit. In the field of spirited discussion, members of this group thrive. Bi-monthly forums are held at the college. But all is not talk; a great deal of information is absorbed from the Carnegie endow- ment volumes which arrive regularly for the club ' s library. A purple and gold IRC pennant forms the group ' s emblem. Waffle suppers and an annual spring fete with Gonzaga are part of the social calendar. WITH LIFE THROUGH MUSIC as their motto, musicians find Alpha Mu Delta a source of constant stimulation. General interest runs along the theme, let there be music. Miriam Ruth Chafee, president; Mary Louise Lynch and Marcella Gibney directed the year ' s affairs. Pledges, music majors of high scholastic average, were inducted at a formal initiation banquet, November 1. A record drive was sponsored and enough old records salvaged to buy a war bond for the school. Several memorial record collec- tions were added to the college ' s music library. TO SMILING EILEEN PIERCE, president; Helen Beavers, vice-president, and Helen Troyer, secretory-treasurer, goes credit for giving impetus to the Monogram Club this year.

FIRST AID DETACHMENT An organization which sprang up in an emergency, and is set to meet any emergency, is the College ' s Volunteer First Aid Detachment. Formulated lost year in response to the first calls of Civilian Defense, the college ' s detachment was the second to be organized in the State of Washington. It possesses a Notional Charter signed by President Roosevelt. Ready, at all time, to aid injured civilians or, if need be, administer to victims of air raids, are these first aiders. Only students who have passed standard and advanced first aid courses are eligible for membership. To remain in existence, the group must maintain a minimum quota of fifteen members. A feature activity of the detachment, this year, was a blackout drill practice. During the evening proceedings, held in the college gymnasium, the girls worked in complete darkness, bandaging the wounds of their victims. Upon arrival, instructions were issued and each club member was presented with a sealed envelope containing a list of injuries sustained by the victim she was to attend. When lights were switched out all set to work to treat the ailments recorded. Precision and swiftness were essential as the drill was timed. The club held a Dr. I. Q. Quiz in which members showed their command of First Aid Technique by competing in the battle of wits and scoring on each round. At regular monthly meetings, emergency treatments are reviewed and experts in the field speak. The college has the distinction of claiming the second Volunteer First Aid Detachment to be formed in the Slate of Washington. Ready at all limes to handle emergencies, treat air-raid and accident victims is this group. Front row. Left to right: Marie Schinzel. Toyo Migaki. Betty Marine. Margaret Mohlor.
