Sally Smith — Freshman Tau Pi Tau Pi Sigma Omicron Mu Tau Pi is an honorary fraternity for women corresponding to the national honorary society, Mortar Board. The old members pick the most outstanding junior girls each spring to be the coming year ' s members of Tau Pi. Qualifications considered in selecting these girls are scholarship, person- ality, and activities. Also each spring Tau Pi awards a cup to the most outstanding girl in the freshman class, and spon- sors a scholarship for an outstanding senior girl. Sigma Omicron Mu is an hon- orary scholastic fraternity for juniors and seniors who have made a grade average of at least 3.5 for four semesters, two of which must have been consecutive. This organization, which was founded on Monmouth Campus in 1926, is equivalent to the national Phi Beta Kappa. The fraternity sponsors Scholarship Day each semester, at which time new mem- bers are tapped. Sitting: Fleming, Warhsmann, Wood, Peterson, Bowker, Cook.

This plan originated four- teen years ago with the idea of creating a national recognition of students, de- void of politics, initiation fees, and dues. Students considered must be high in activities, scholarship, ef- fort and service to the school. This year, eight outstanding seniors will appear in Who ' s Who. Lcjt tu right: Atchison, Nichol, Landers, Brown. women s Cjovernment The Women ' s Governing Board is composed of 10 senior women, two from each social organization. Five are chosen by the preceding year ' s board and five are elected by the women students. The pur- pose of the group is to enforce the dormitory reg- ulations and to represent the desires of the women students to the administra- tion.

The YWCA is made up of an association of all the women students on the Monmouth Col- lege campus. This group plays a very important part in the campus scene, as is shown by the important social functions it heads. Among these are Freshman Week, the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, and the Red Book. In addition to these important activities the YW is active in the promotion of Christian life on the campus. The group does a large part during Religious Emphasis Week and during chapel ser- vices. There is no doubt that the YM is a very important and helpful group here on the Monmouth campus. Besides working close be- side the YW on many proj- ects the group heads such activities as the Christian Service programs, the Thanksgiving and Easter Services, YM movies, and the YM book exchange. Most of the men on the campus are a part of the YMCA, which is headed by Jerry Allin. Y.W.C.A. Sitting: LaBrush, Dixson, Dolbow, Jones. Schindewolf, Edwards.

Founded in 1928 with the purpose of binding together the different social organizations on the campus the Octopus Club is made up of eight of the outstanding men in the senior class. In previous years membership in the organization was kept a secret until the Ravelings revealed their true identities in the Spring. This year however the group was given full recognition as a senior men ' s honorary society. This year ' s membership cele- brated their official recognition by putting a new coat of paint on the walls of the Student Union. The members of the Octopus Club will be announced as soon as they are elected by the present membership. 105 106 SPOR TS 107 Football VARSITY {ou) I: Bollman, Droste, Williams, Turner, Noble, Sanderson, Vogt, Rasmussen.

This year ' s frosh football team was a spirited and scrappy group of football players. They put in long hours of practice and spe nt much of their time preparing ' the varsity for their games by running through the plays of their opponents. The team did get two games of their own with the Knox freshmen winning .one and losing one. There is little doubt that this year ' s frosh will produce some much needed help for next season ' s varsity.
