Veterans ' Club Sponsors Convocation The McCook College Veterans Club, the newest campus organization, is one of the largest of all service societies. Its thirty-eight members include all college men who have served in the armed forces. Many have seen overseas duty, and most are Korean War veterans. One of the most important club activi- ties is the Veterans convocation held this year on November 9. The vets completely took charge of the program, presenting the colors and honoring award winners. Especially hon- ored was Garrett Nelson, who received the Navy Unit Citation. Another project of the veterans has been a scholarship fund. This fund is re- plenished each year with money-making activities. Such projects as these have upheld the ideals of servicemen in civil ian life. OFFICERS AND GENTLEMEN.

Waconda Council Sponsors Dinner All women in McCook College belong to the Waconda Council. Under the able leadership of LeAnn Lindbeck and Miss Helen Storms, the organization has be- come a very important influence in school affairs. One of its most important projects was an Italian dinner, open to all. The girls served homemade spaghetti, salad, cakes and pies; and entertainment was provid- ed for the crowd. As a get-acquainted measure for new and old students, the Council held a tea at the beginning of the year. The senior girls were given little sisters and intro- duced them. Students and faculty mem- bers alike welcomed the opportunity for new friendships. The group also sponsored an extreme- ly successful dance after the Casper bas- ketball games. All these activities were a part of the first semester. INDIAN MAIDENS.
