SSOCIATED W O M E N S T U- DENTS-Meeting the first Tues- day of the Fall session and electing as pro tem officers Mary McMillan, chair- man, and Edith Badger, secretary, the women of the junior College started plans for a pre- election lawn party. The constitution was then accepted at a special business meeting and officers were elected: Mary McMillan, president, Blanche 'Mertins, vice-president, Mymie Warrell, re- cording secretaryg Susan Bond, corresponding secretary, and Lois Bardwell, treasurer. Under the chairmanship of Lois Bardwell, plans were made to give a tea to those wo- men who had attended neither Poly nor Wil- son the preceding year. The affair met with considerable success. Before Christmas the social service committee, under Dorothymae Risdon, conducted a drive to collect new and slightly used toys for the Spanish-American children at El Mirasol School. - In February the Associated Women Stu- dents again served tea, this time to the in- coming Freshman women. Scon after, coop- erating with the Girls' League of Woodrow Wilson High School, A. W. S. started its drive to raise two hundred dollars for the Girls' League cabin. As part of this drive Margaret O'Connor put on her famous fash- ion show. Ruth Pratt was in charge of the sale of logs and tags. The A. W. S. Hi-.links and masquerade, held at the Ebell Club, furnished the high light of the organization's social season. Prizes were awarded for the best costume and for the best stunt produced by a women's organization. As a climax to the year's activ- ities, the A. W. S. held its installation cere- monies at the Club California, there Vikings once more landed on the beach and were re- ceived with much more ceremony than was shown Eric the Red. Business meetings of the Associated Wo- men Students may occur at any time, cabinet meetings take place every two weeks. The cabi- net consists of the officers of the organization, the advisers, Miss Mattie M. Paine and Miss Helen M. Iredellg the president of the Wo- men's Athletic Association, Edith Badger, and the adviser, Miss Clarinne Llewellyn, the president of the Student Club, Evlyn Law- rence, and the advisers, Dr. Elizabeth Col- lette and Miss Josephine Renier.

OMMITTEE OF CEREMONIES -Organized by the Cabinet near the end of the first semester, the Com- mittee of Ceremonies has as its purpose su- pervising the social life of the Junior College. The committee is headed by a chairman ap- pointed by the cabinet, and ranking in honor next to the student body president. Four members are chosen from the student body at large. The others are the cheer leaders, presidents of the Thors and Valkyries, and representatives of Arts and Athletics. Officers of the group for 1927-8 were Phil Gregory, chairman, Vincent Wood, vice- chairman, and Ernest Denning, secretary and treasurer. All assemblies, rallies, bonfires, rooting sections, special parades, and stuntseare under the direction of the committee, according to the rules made by the Cabinet. Several lively assemblies were sponsored in the first semester of the committee's existence. Dramatists from U. S. C. with their asso- ciates of the Drama Shop featured two skits and some monologues. Among those pres- ent in the cast was Bill Miller, late of Poly High, who officiated in the capacity of monologist. The first skit presented the dilemma of two gentlemen wearing pink carnations as marks of identification, the sec- ond mingled polite blackmail with gripping reminiscences of the World War. A black- face Mammy-singer furnished a finishing touch to the program. Two events, both directed by Phil Gregory, stand out in the memory of those familiar with the committee's work. The first was a reception to incoming Freshmen, held early in the second semester at the Hotel Virginia. In the receiving line were the administrators, faculty members, and student officers. A program followed, 'including selections by members of the Men's Glee and Madrigal Clubs, and a welcome by Superintendent W. L. Stephens. Dancing occupied the re- mainder of the evening. The biggest social event of the year was the First Annual Viking Spring Hop at the Scottish Rite Cathedral May 12. John te Groen and his ,Hotel Alexandria orchestra furnished the entertainment. In addition to the dance program the Committee secured several vaudeville acts from a local theatre, by way of variety.
