w omen ' sD ay room ounci c. il The Dayroom Council was organized this year under the direction of Miss Florence E. Dewev, Dean of Women, for the purpose of bringing the women day students together into a cooperati e group and to encourage school spirit. The day vyomen convened each month to discuss problems and to plan Future events. They elected, on the basis of class and scholarship, the lollowijig officers: Marjorie Bender, president; Frances Toohey, vice president; Eleanor Miller, secretary; Sue Whitehead, treasurer, and Peggy Derone, freshman representative. Their prin- cipal duty was to serve as a general intermediary body between the college administra- tion and the women day students. As a special project for this ' ear the day women sponsored dances following the basketball games on the weekends, beginning with a Christmas dance. Veda Fischer was refreshment chairman and Jane Montgomery was entertainment chairman for this dance, aided by the other da ' student women and the officers of the Council. It is the hope of the day women that in the future their actixities will be con- sidered a real asset to the college, not onl in matters pertaining to social life but also in matters of scholarship and school spirit..
