NATLll2F C I UB The purpose of this organization is to foster an interest in and an appreciation of nature. For the benefit of the entire student body and faculty the club gave its annual nature picnic at Svvope Park. Variety was introduced by having the affair in the form of a nature scavenger hunt. Various classes presented a program made up of impromptu skits.-A star party held at Swope Park proved very successful but Whether its success Was on account of the eats, romance, or stars We do not know.-Besides having its meetings the club has charge of the awarding of pins to those who earn them by the accumulation of nature activity credits.- lt is planned to reorganize the club next year with officers chosen from the Sophomore Nature classes so that the work can be car- ried on more easily and effectively. Nature Trails and Bridle Paths P, Organized in l934, P. E. P. has rapidly gained a place of promi- nence at Teachers College. The club, a girls' athletic club, is the only organization in Teachers College to which the members are elected. lts purposes are: the fostering of school loyalty, the pro- motion of athletics and the developing of sportsmanship. lts initiation parties, from all reports Were, this year, more amusing than heretofore, and aside from its parties and pot luck supper, the members have horseback riding as one of their chief amuse- ments. They sponsor all girls' athletics at the school-they also have charge of a recreational hour held in the gym during the social period once a month to which the entire student body is invited. The Christmas recreational hour took the form of a party at Which each person was remembered with an all day sucker. P. E. P. sponsored a play day and tea to which the girls of lunior College Were invited, and after the games such as tennisguits, aerial darts, and ping pong, tea was served in the social room. The club members proved perfect hostesses as Well as good athletesl Officers for the first semester were: Lee Oma Mc- Reynolds, president, Delores Moser, vice-president, lrene Cam- eron, secretary-treasurer. The meaning of the club name is sup- posed to be known to the members only but to the rest of the school the initials are sufficiently descriptive-P, E. P. t26l EP

EIRST SEMESTER The student council groups are always an important factor in the life of the college. Through thisbody the students and faculty Work together for the vvelfare of the school. At the meetings, school and student problems are discussed, and activities planned. Standards for the use of the social room are set up, the assembly programs are arranged, and all school affairs are handled by the council or committees appointed by the council. The Fall Fiesta and the Mid-Year Prom, both of them huge suc- cesses, Were managed by the first semester council. The coun- cil Was also responsible for the purchase of a piano for the social room, which is used for entertainment at programs, and student activities. Constitution Changes Again SECGINID SEMESTER The council for the second semester spent most of its time in fi- nancial discussions, planning the budget and activities to be included in the budget for the coming year. The activity point system came in for its share of consideration along with the problem of the offices to be listed as major, and those to be listed as minor. The Fine Arts Program was set aside because of the lack of time for preparation. The assembly committee, Working With the citizenship committee, presented in the assemblies a series of lantern slides With five-minute lectures, they also brought before the student body many outstanding speakers. We must, of course, mention the fact that once more the con- stitution Was carefully studied and revised, and the orientation program for the next term was changed in order to be made more adaptable to the needs of new students.
