SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY VVar! War! VVarl The poor war is blamed for everything. 'l'herefore the Scholarship Society can add one more burden for the war to bear and blame it for inactivity of the past year. Our famous Peanut Brittle sales went out with sugar rationing. VV e tried to have a progressive dinner, but the O. P. A. was more progressiye than we were. They rationed meat, butter, and coffee. XVe couldn't even eat out of cans. Attending conventions was out of the question. XVe decided that O. P. A. l u l Q 4 V in. X Apple-polisher stood out for Opposition to People's Associatingxu Seriously, the Scholarship Society has one factor to be proud of. Its mem- bership has been greatly increased over that of the past year, which indicates that the students are not lying down on the job, but are going ahead realizing they must plan for the future.
