The increase in the number of students brought about a corresponding increase in the number of interests. You formed new clubs or added to those already organized. The Voyager, bom only last year, was continued in '47. And still it was an unusual sight to find photography in progress on the campus, to watch the subscription campaign, to read yearbook notices on the bulletin board, or in the High Hat. The newspaper itself initiated a new precedent. Instead of a bi-monthly, the Hat became a weekly sheet. In addition, pictures were included in the make-up. Students still received their Hight Hat free of charge. The Masquers not only presented two major productions, but staged a convocation play. They also held several social affairs which were altogether four star!

They were held in halls throughout the city. And the Imps proved that a great spot for a Christmas ball was right in the Division gym. The decorations, the music, and the friends all reflected and echoed the gay spirit you yourself felt, and still remember. The first costume ball, given by Di Gamma on Sadie Hawkin's Day, the Tri Kappa March of Dimes Dance, and the Spring dances were brilliant. All term you tripped the light fantastic, donned in gov n or rags. Not the least of the success was the Ajxiche Dance given in the school gym by the Publications Committee. Voyager and High Hat mapped and planned, advertised, and then warned you and urged you to come. You found your instructors acting as waiters; you gazed at the appropriate illustrations; you danced around the cabaret-style set-up. Not only at the Apache Dance, but at each dance you couldn't help but find the time of your life. [ 26 ]

Problems and analyses of Catholicism were discussed at Newman Club Friday afternoon meetings. IZFA members met for informative or social evenings. concentrating on promoting the establishment of a homeland for unfortunate Jews throughout the world. Both clubs invited any guests who shared an interest. The previous year's International Relations Club launched into an over-all explanation of the world situation by analyzing the position of Russia in world affairs. Russian-American relations in 1947 was of prime importance. Guest speakers informed club members, and forum or free discussion enlightened them. The atomic era introduced astonishing innovations in the Chemistry Department v hich extended to the club functions. Inspection trips also heightened the interest of the members. [ 28 ]
