The Red Wings, are the official hostesses of the University, assisting at such functions as Convocation, Choral Society concerts, football games, election day scrutineering, Athletics Nights and the Red and White Revue. They are also on hand to welcome visitors of the University and are much in evidence during Freshman Reception week. The Society is composed of twenty-two members who hold office for two years, and two honorary members. Their uniform is the regulation McGill blazer with the Red Wing Crest and a white skirt. Each girl on com- pletion of thirty assignments is awarded a white blazer. These white McGill blazers are exclusive to the Red Wings, and it is considered a great honour to be able to wear one. The Red Wings, since their humble beginning as an entertainment committee., have succeeded in building for themselves such a reputation for dependability and efficiency that they have become a widely respected group on the campus.

Lafontaine. 9 i scarlet key , The Scarlet Key is the sole honorary men's organization on the campus. This marks the twenty-seventh year of service since its founding in 1924. Its members are elected by the student body at large, from all faculties and schools, and are appointed for outstanding service to the University, academically, athletically, or through the medium of some student club or organization. The Key's function is to act as the official host to all guests of the University. Since its birth at McGill, sixteen colleges have requested copies of the Society's Constitution in order to form similar bodies on their own campuses. Increased activities and success in general have been enjoyed by the Society this year. Official host

The Social Committee presented a few informal dances during the year. ' Among them was a football dance, the New Year's Eve Ball and the Flunkers, Fling. The Junior Prom was held in conjunction with the S.E.C. An unsuccessful attempt to foster spirit was made in the first term by the innovation of an Arts and Science week-end that started with an open meeting and finished with a Sadie Hawkin's dance. The Educational Committee sponsored a Professors' Tea and the Curriculum Committee was very active. There was a great deal of interest in debating this year and competition was keen, especially for the inter-class trophy. Arts and Science also sent a successful debating team to Princeton. The Athletics department entered many teams in inter-mural athletics. Unfortunately, only a few teams made the finals.
