Social {Committee Rader, Meyers, Miss Wilson, Schwenk; Mrs. Baxter, Dr. Handorf, Kesel, Tardif. To provide a balanced social program for a student body largely female and to see that some form of entertainment was provided for all students every Friday and Saturday night have been the aims of the Social Committee this year. During the first semester under student chairman Howard Anderson and the second semester, Charlene Schwenk, with Mrs. Baxter, Dean of Women, as faculty advisor, these aims were well accomplished. Reverting to leap year practices the girls mc.de the dates for certain parties and did the cutting at Wednesday evening dancing in the Lower Commons. The Christmas Dance, the Spring Formal, and the All-School Variety Show in March were three social triumphs sponsored by the committee during the year. Although one of the most functional organizations of the campus, many students do not know that their social life is planned by this committee. When any club cr class desires a date on the social calendar, the committee is consulted and attempt is made to arrange social functions so that there will be no conflict and that the varying interests of as many students as possible can be reached. 27

W.S.Q..A. - W.S.Q..J. Fischer, Watson, Brooks, Davis, Jones, Eghigian, Martin, Holden, Slabotsky, Todd, Roberts. The purpose of the student government associations is to help the two social deans, Mrs. Baxter and Dr. Cannom, solve problems which involve students as a society. Meetings are held weekly and attempt is made to solve problems or to correct them by disciplinary measures. This year besides working on the usual problems of social discipline and etiquette, the W.S.G.A. council has been occupied with war work. The class of Nurses’ Aides was sponsored by the W.S.G.A. and Red Cross knitting was also a project of this organ¬ ization. Representatives of the W.A.Y.E.S. and the W.A.A.C. were brought to the campus in February to talk to students. Dorothy Roberts presides over the W.S.G.A. while the other officers are Matilda Martin, vice-president; Ruth Jones, secretary; and Ruth Holden, treasurer. The M.S.G.A. is composed of the student body president, representatives from each of the men’s dormitories, and three representatives elected at large in the spring election. The officers are Walt Silvernail, president, and Don McMasters, secretary. The work of this group is cooperating with the Dean of Men in taking action whenever a prank is carried too far or whenever some social rule is broken. Braden, Martin, C.

For the first time in the history of Park College, the supervision of the industrial work system has been completely under the management of students. At the first of the year Bob Taylor and Mary Slabotsky were given the title of student coordinators and with the assistance of Alice Niemann and Stanley Houston and with advice from President Young and Professor Knight have made this innovation successful.
