ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Autumn means the functioning of the Athletic Board, and the Athletic Board means hockey-hockey, without question Lake Eriels major sport, en- joyed by the active members of every class. In it we find some indescribable quality peculiar to no other sport, an intangible exhilaration which grips one's spirit. For weeks we practice every afternoon. These weeks of energy are culminated by the beginning of the inter-class competition which continues through the following weeks, ending by the awarding of the hockey cup to the victorious class. On Founders, Day, also, takes place the ever-amusing contest between the returning alumnae and a team of undegraduates, a humorous example that once in the swing of the game one canit escape. Yet it is hardly fair to place the emphasis on hockey, for there a1'e in the fall, in addition, riding, tennis, swimming, and archery-all grand sports which the Athletic Association sponsors. AVIATION CLUB One of the newest campus organizations is the Aviation Club, formed three years ago. Although a neophyte in eomparision with many of the other college clubs, it has already secured a charter from the National Intercollegiate Fly- ing Club, which is a member of the National Aeronautics Association. Once a week the members of the Lake Erie Aviation Club attend a lecture course where they are instructed in the mechanics of the aeroplane as well as in the theory of flying. Sometimes they visit air ports-learning how weather reports are made, the different signals used for planes, the importance of the radio to the pilots, and many other bits of flying knowledge. Several of the girls have even take up flying a hobby, working throughtout the year for a license. Then when the hour of their solo flight arrives-what delightful thrills of excitement, and later the Lake Erie aviatrix noses l1e1' plane down into a perfect 'tlT1'BC point landing-what irrepressible beams of real achievement!

Y. W. C. A. One of the most prominent organizations on the campus, the Y. VV. C. A., plays an important part in the social life of all Lake Erieites. The first big event sponsored by the Y. VV. takes place during the opening week of college in the fall, when a formal reception is held to welcome all students, new and old. At that time there is much renewing of friendship and catching up on sum- mer activities, and new acquaintances are formed with the arrival of the Fresh- man class. A Y. XV. bat follows shortly afterward, and both faculty and stu- dents have a fine time on the beach. Throughout the year the Y. VV. officers are busy carrying out various projects, and one of the most successful is their doll dressing contest. College students equip themselves with needles and thread and vie gaily with each other in dressing dolls which are used gifts at the animal Christmas party given for the town children. Among the social activities supported by Y. YV. is a college dance, and that, of course, wins the approval of everyone. All students are members of the Y. YV. C. A. and are very proud of the work done during the year by this ambitious organization. FRENCH CLUB Ne parlez-vou pas francais? C'est dommage!-then you must not be a member of the French Club which holds its meetings twice a month in Social Hall. An active g1'oup, the members boast of an extremely diversified program, providing everything from bridge games to informal lectures. French plays are sometimes undertaken, too, and their presentation always assures a merry evening. hlost entertaining of all, however, are the conversations in French among the members themselves. Anglo-French sentences are bound to slip ing accents are seldom alikeg and words are coined that would puzzle a Frenchman, Pm sure. And yet the speakers seem to have no difficulty in making themselves understood. Occasionally trips are made to the lVIaison Francaise in Cleve- land, where the girls hear prominent Frenchmen speak. French movies are also popular, especially productions like Mayerling, and Hsingst' in French are always a source of amusement. Twnnfmr-EIGHT
