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.

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.

This year's programme included several banquets with guest speakers invited from various fields of business. At the Gen Nights , speakers from a variety of com- panies explained the role of Commerce graduates in their organizations and what was expected from their efforts. Plant tours were organized for the pur- pose of allowing the student to familiarize himself with different types of industry and to acquaint him with their com- mercial problems, thereby broadening the student's scope for future employment. Commerce was well-represented in ath- letics with intramural touch-football, hockey, basketball and volleyball teams. For the first time, the CUS this year organized a combination Banquet and Smoker which was acclaimed a decided success by all those in attendance.

The activities of the School began this year in September with the annual Out- door School for second and third year students. A picnic was planned by third year for second year during the three Weeks. There were approximately thirty new stu- dents entering the School this year. An official welcome was extended to the stu- dents during their first week here, and plans for the year were outlined. Social activities included a Splash Party and Freshman Welcome in October, a Christmas Party and a Graduates' Ban- quet. The highlight of the social calendar was the Annual Semi-formal Dance. The Professional Advancement Committee had monthly programmes for the stu- dents. This group attempted to further an interest in the professional field among undergraduates.
