ALPHA OMEGA PHI Alpha Omega Phi, the first social club for women at the college, was organized in the 1930’s. A pledge of honesty and loyalty is made by the club's members along with a vow to uphold the highest standards of womanhood. The club has made an agreement to support school activities and to contribute to school spirit. Alpha participates in intramural competition with the other sororities, and her members are active in many school functions, notably chorus, athletics and publications. Each year the sorority presents a useful gift to the college. The club’s colors and emblem have been revised in the past year to blue, silver and white with a diamond-shaped pin utilizing the above colors. Current projects involve writing a Constitution and organizing an Alumni Association. On the Alph’s social schedule are rush parties, formal teas, co-ed parties and the annual social affair, Alpha’s traditional Black and White Ball. NO,NO, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT!

 . WORKING physics, etc. The possibilities are endless. There is math and more math for the engineers, with a gigantic slide rule to help them along, and, to keep them busy, science survey and architectural courses. The student planning to major in English has his choice of classes in creative writing, play presentations, public speaking, and various types of English. The history major has American history, European history, American government and comparative government from which to choose. Besides all this, there arc courses in the fine arts: art, music and music lessons, such as piano, organ or voice for extra credit. For those who desire to make the best use of their capital, there are varied and comprehensive courses in economics. These prepare students for a business career by training them with the theory they will practice in post-graduate years. The more practical minded student will take courses in accounting and business procedures, perhaps supplementing his school hours with an outside job under the auspices of the distributive education department. Shorthand and typing courses are offered also to round out the course further. ON YOUR MARK! GET SET . . . Timing their electrolysis experiment to the microsecond, John Catherine and Leslie Defore are ready to set a new record in accuracy. Anyway, there's always a fudge factor.

COTILLION Cotillion, the only sorority who has the same kind of rush party every year, the Kiddie Rush Party, is planning another annual event which will begin next fall—The Cotillion Ball. Christmas is a busy time for Cotillion as they have their annual Christmas dance with Tri-K, and the needy basket project for the poor, also co-sponsored by Tri-K. Organized in the 1930's, this club that sports blue and yellow as its colors, gives an annual Cotillion award. This award is presented to a student who is proficient in both studies and extracurricular activities. Members of Cotillion participate in athletics, chorus, publications and the Honor Council. “NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY. THAT'S MINE! exclaims Lois Akers as she and Eleanor Irwin struggle over a baby rattle at the Cotillion Club’s annual Kiddie Rush Party held at the home of Hope Smith. Similar rush parties are given by the other sororities in the fall and spring for incoming freshmen. COTILLION.
