I CAL Ww. Throughout the year, the Illinois College Association of Women, or I. C. A. W., as it is more commonly known, served to promote unity and loyalty among all women on the campus. Every woman attending the col- lege automatically became a member of this group. Governing the organization were Anne Kerr and Mary Lee Coultas, presidents: Connee Broad and Anne Kerr, who both served in the capacity of vice-president; and Faith Metzler, secretary-treasurer. Barbara Land, Betty Jost, and Hester Attridge served as representatives from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. I. C. A. W. s ponsored a luncheon during Freshman Week at which each freshman was introduced to her “Big Sister.’’ Then fol- lowed a week of brick totin’ for the New Gym, lack of makeup, clothing eccentricities, and serenading, planned by I. C. A. W. as an informal initiation into the organization. At the end of the week, formal initiation was Faith Metzler, Mary Lee Coultas, Anne Kerr held at a formal banquet at the Dunlap Hotel. During the year the girls sponsored a Christmas party for the underprivileged children of the area. During the Winter Term, Women’s Week was held at I. C. The girls sponsored an afternoon coffee hour at Baxter, an All College Sing, a serenade of the men’s dor- mitories, and a Chapel Hour skit satirizing dormitory life. The week was climaxed with a Faculty-Student Variety Show and dance. A Mother’s Day dinner highlighted I. C. A. W. activities for the Spring Term. The organization also sponsored a dance for married veterans and their wives. The girls acted as baby-sitters the night of the dance so that parents could have one evening of enjoyment without the burden of their off- spring. Under the guidance of Dean Genevieve McCracken, I. C. A. W. looks back upon another successful year. « 26
