1 Spring aftei ' iiooii along llic Charles members. The organization was originated in 1936 by a group of interested alumni an l friends of Teeh, who financed the construction of the SaiUng Pavilion and the purchase of the first fleet of dinghies. Since the time of the N.A. ' s birth, student interest in sailing has increased rapidly, and with it, the organization has grown from a member- ship of seventy to its present size. Today it is the largest undergraduate extra-curricular activity at M.I.T. Based at the Sailing Pavilion across Memorial Drive from the institute, is a fleet of fortv ding- hies, 4 llO ' s, and 10 miscellaneous boats. In addi- tion to housing the tlinghies, the Pavilion serves as heatlquarters for all of the administrative work of the Association. A Shore School, to teach those members who arc unacquainted with sailing the fundamentals of seamanship, is held at the Pavilion each Spring and Fall. After novices have completed dry-land training, they are g iven instruction in the ding- hies and soon are able to sail by themselves. An integral part of the N.A. is the Bosuns ' ( iiiiiiig alioiit Dry docked Clid). which is an elective organization made up of the more experienced seamen. This group has as its | urpose the development and maintenance of the standards of the chd). In addition, the members serve as instructors in the Shore School antl in general aid the Sailing Master. The odicers of the N.A. are Daniel Grcenbamii. (lomniodore; Fred Blatl, Vice-commodore; Mal- colm Dick, Treasurer; and John Lawson, Secre- tary. APHIL «

The traditional sobriety of the Fiji mansion was shattered blissfully by the Cowboy Party which came April 10. On this date the oaken walle«l atmosphere gave way to sawdust, burlap. and an enviable number of red lanterns. Slough- footed tenderfeet foiuid their lives in danger as they dotlged rough anti tough cowpokes with their logies in tow. At intermission time, doors to the Palace Theater were thrown open to broth- ers and their guests. They wildly cheered as Wil- liam S. Hart silently rescued Pauline from the clutches of the cruel villain. (Hiss.) The night passed all too soon and the grey dawn found a morose band sweeping the debris into the Fens. As the sun rose over Beacon Hill, the population of Hot Rocks, Nevada ambled off to bed. Standing: Singleton, Cordes Seated: (Jordon, Flvnn, Peterson, Kggert, Dyson, Kinncanon, Test, Bergis.
