Besides the two top honors— Senior ' oman of Achievement and Communitv Voman of the Year many scholar- ships and awards for women are given at the banquet following a filling meal, some light entertainment, and a stimulating keynote address. This year Mrs. Bea Magill of AVhite Sands Missile Range provided the address on Women in International Affairs , pointing out that the women ' s roles in this area are becoming increasingly important. Then, as always, awards were given, Spurs and Mu Beta initiates were tapped, and the final moment came when everyone breathlessly awaited the announce- ments of the top honorees.
