The shortage of men didn't stop them either, For the women sponsored the annual Christmas dance in December. lnstead of the childrens Christmas party held in previous years, the women voted in favor of taking Christmas packages to l-lines Hospital for wounded veterans. The remark oi one veteran to the etfect that he had never seen prettier Santa Clauses was reward enough for the Santas . Right around this time the Womens Club was victorious in the winning of Marty in the annual Christmas seal contest between the lVlen's Club and the Women's Club. With the election of a new president, a Few of the more industrious women started spring cleaning early in February when they scrubbed and gave a complete new coat of WOMENS , CLUB paint to the club room. OF course this took quite a bit of elbow grease, but the women who started the job just kept plugging away until it was Finished. Even though school hasn't been the same as in previous years, and the women have had to provide for their own good times, the results show that all effort was worthwhile, 1- tuli- lllll .HIFI

MEN'S CLUB Though faced with the shortage of those vital complements to any co-educational college lite, MEN, the clan that did exist managed to band together into some semblance ot a Men's Club. The most unusual social event of the year was the Club's l'lallovve,en Masquerade- Mixer-Baclcward Dance. Although there was a whole community ot l.i'l Abners and Daisy Maes present, others came costumed as hula dancers, harum haunts, somnambulists, piclcanin- nies, and colonial lcids. Cider Csvveet, of coursej flowed freely, and plenty ol doughnuts were on hand. The Men's Club dance was also an excuse for the purchase of a staclt of new phonograph records, the club's purchasing agents came home with bargains, boresome boogie, blue ballads, and boisterous bass, These records bore the brunt of daily revolution on the good old RCA Victor. Other than this entertainment, the MEN consoled themselves with chess-and-checlcer games, bull sessions, and even studying! We feel it only Fitting to mention the fact that many of the men did study, especially those who wanted to get a good number of hours in before leaving For the service.
