THE WIVES' AUXILIARY Twenty years ago Mrs. Krill received a letter from the Kansas State University Auxiliary tell- ing of the many interesting and worthwhile acti- vities their auxiliary sponsored. Dean and Mrs. Krill met with the student wives on February 5. 1947, and asked if they would be interested in organizing a student auxiliary. They met at the clinic while the student AVMA was holding one of their meetings. In order to function the wives needed money, so they sent two representatives to ask for a loan from the men's group. The stu- dent AVMA generously donated S50 to the newly formed auxiliary. The first regular meeting was held on February IO, 1947. The organization has grown during these twenty years and provides many social and educational meetings for wives of future veterinarians. Programs for 1966-67 included a panel of four senior students: Dean Kraus, Dennis Hardy, Dick Soldner, and Dick Whipps, who discussed How Your Marriage Can Survive Vet School, led by the able Dr. Harold Crocker. Dr. Robert Hamlin stressed the important role of the veterinarian in research, and Dr. William Tyznik presented many stimulating ideas on foods and nutrition. Mrs. Keith Wearly, National Vice President of Public Relations, spoke to us on the veteri- narian's wife in society, and Mrs. Martin Sayers, wife of a neuro-surgeon who donated his ser- vice aboard the Ship Home, shared many in- teresting moments with us. Each year we enjoy comments and encouragement from a panel of veterinarian's wives. Everyone looks forward to the Tea held at the home of Dean and Mrs. Krill. This is attended by the wives of the faculty as well as students' The last three years we have held a banquet to honor the senior wives and meet the OVMA auxiliary ofiicers. Each year the auxiliary presents an award to a junior stu- dent, who is married and has a 2.5 or better accumulative point hour. Both he and his wife must be voting members of their AVMA organi- zation. This year the student auxiliary is honor- ing Mrs. Krill, wife of the retiring Deang the one person who played an important role in the organization of our auxiliary. This year the Na- tional AVMA is honoring an outstanding senior wife of each veterinary college. She is to be chosen by the members of her own student auxiliary. Service projects this year included contributing gifts to the State School for Retarded Women and Franklin Village. Educational meetings are offered to Senior wives each year. These include a tour of the Clinic and Goss Laboratory, lec- tures on small animal restraint, emergency pro- cedures, public relations, surgical procedures, and bookkeeping.
