commerce undergrad. soc. The CUS functions to arrange extra- curricular activities for Commerce stu- dents and to stimulate the traditional college spirit among members of the school. 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.

The club is a compara- tively young one with much spirit. Its chief goal is to develop and to further interest in the Fine Arts and to provide a means of expressing this interest by student participation in practical work in the Studios. Considerable progress has been made towards this goal. The club has carried on a varied pro- gram. Guest speakers and illustrated talks by eminent artists were featured. Films and art exhibitions were also sponsored by the club. A valuable project undertaken by the club has been the supplying to the Film Society at McGill short films on the Fine Arts.
