ARTS UNDERGRADUATE SOCIETY I. Akin, Dean Hendel, I. Baker, A. Ross, G. Flower H. Ov. ■TiHE 1937-38 season was one of success for the society. Interest among the students was very pronounced with the result that all functions were well attended. To start off the year the Executive of the Society co-operated with the Students Executive Council in running a program of activities for the freshman class, among which was the very successful Freshman Dinner held on the 25th of October. The Annual Meeting and Smoker was held on November the 9th. Mr. C. C. Bayley was the speaker. The Arts Christmas Informal was held on the 17th of December and was one of the best in recent years, an overwhelming success. At the time this account is being written plans are going ahead for the annual Banquet to be held on Feb. the 24th. The Arts and Science Athletic teams were quite well supported again this year and interest was particularly noticeable in inter-class and inter- faculty hockey. Horace Graves deserves great credit for the efficient way he managed the teams. We should like to take this opportunity of congratulating George Flower and Bill Johnston on their new innovation this year, The Sophomore Hops . These dances were the idea of these two Arts students and they certainly put them across. In conclusion, the executive wishes to thank Dean Hendel for his valuable assistance and wholehearted support during the Past year. « 13
