One of the more important social activi- ties for college girls was given by the Waconda Council. This was the annual Christmas party. The girls drew names for gifts and went caroling at the hospi- tal. After the caroling, the party ad- journed to the basement of Miss Storms for refreshments and an exchange of gifts. This Christmas party proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the year. One of the most important functions of the Women ' s Organization is showing appreciation for the many benefits the girls receive. One such way is provided by the annual Mother-Daughter Ban- quet. Each year in the springtime, the women of the college and their mothers or guests gather for a dinner. Gaily dec- orated tables and a good program show the girls ' honor for their mothers. The women, in the minority as usual, have shown much interest and enthusi- asm for school affairs. HAPPY GOSSIPPERS. Letha Wolf, Linda Peterson, Betty Benedict, Carol Stute,.

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.

Among the WAA projects was a series of play nights which included deck ten- nis, badminton, softball, soccer, swim- ming and other popular indoor games. Some were held in the college; others in the YMCA. Bowhng played an important part in club activities. The girls reserved the bowhng alley for several nights, and the effort was termed very successful. A high spot of the year was the girls ' volleyball tournament, sponsored by the WAA. A basketball tournament is plan- ned for the second semester. Other WAA-sponsored programs in- clude a skating party and a fun hour after a basketball game. STRIKERS.
