After an eighteen weeks' preliminf ary course, another staff assumed all responsibility for the publication un' der the helm of the new editor, Ce- celia Zissis. i'Click's Chatter, Akers of Gos- sip, and basketball oddities featured in the 'Sports Mirror, proved enter' taining.

The constitution, revised by a comf mittee composed of Martha Moore, chairman, james Richman, and Mar' garet F. Martin, was approved and adopted on October 20. On November 17 committees car' ried out plans for a hard times party, which was held in the library. The affair was the first of the two scheduled social events of the yearg the other being in the form of a banquet, which took place during the first part of May. Mr. E. C. Belzer, representative of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, spoke on the topic Development of Communication at a special convof cation sponsored by the club on March 2. During the second semester the club sent representatives to several of the states leading industries for the purpose of gaining scientific informa- tion to be reported to the club. At one of the two regular meetings each month, sound movies of scientific interest were shown. On Honor Day the club closed its activities by presenting the Science club trophy to an outstanding senior member. The awarding of this trophy was introduced by the club in 1936, when it was presented to James Honan.
