Betty Batterton, president, led the group in many activities advised by the faculty sponsor. Miss Flora Dutcher. The first thing on the agenda was the formation of a cabinet. The club met during the second week of the first sem- ester for the purpose ot electing officers and planning details for the season ' s first home football game with Trinidad. Betty Batterton, Shirley Vap, and Syl- via Vap, were elected respectively to the positions, president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. Next came the cheer- ing at the college athletic activities. The transition toward new uniforms was begun this year with the purchase nchi n S 2, f ' INDIAN MAIDS.

The Homecoming dance which followed the game was attended by several hundred alumni and students. February will be a grand month with attention centered on the Valentine Dance and nominations for the King and Queen of the Sweetheart Ball. The Tom-Toms replenish their treas- ury by selling food and drinks at the Sen- ates concession stands, members also pay dues. This income proves sufficient to finance the year ' s activities. A major function is the banquet for the college athletes.
