During the year Press Club fosters many creative endeavors among the students at Occidental by read- ing and criticising original poetry and prose brought to their meetings. The year ' s work began under the chairmanship of Evelyn Thompson and was concluded with Helen Somers and Harry Prochaska as officers of the club. Meetings were held regularly, and Press Club was able to produce another edition of Sabretooth featuring the work of students and graduates from Occidental College. The group met at the home of Dr. Stelter, and meetings were often made significant by the cocoa and cookies which Mrs. Stelter served. Press Club sincerely thanks them for the use of their home and for their hospitality.
