PACIFIC COAST CLUB President: Brewer B. Thompson Vice-President: Richard L. McClenahan, jr. Secretary: Albert L, Holiday Adviser: Mr. Butterfield As usual, the Pacific Coast Club had a successful year, which featured fortnightly meetings and culminated in the Winter Dance. The customary doughnuts were served at all of the meetings, and during the fall term football movies were shown to the Club. Many new members were added to the roll this year, and if the trend continues, the P.C.C. should be not only the best regional club but the biggest. The Winter Dance was, of course, a big success. Aside from the girls, who are al- ways a hit with the Exonians, Alan Curtis' band was well received in the Thompson C-ym. Featuring a solovox, and a gorgeous vocalist, Curtis' musicians played fast music throughout the evening. The theme of the dance was the Cold Rush of '49. Included in the decorations were rattlers, whiskey bottles. Ce-mpty, alasl, gold nuggets, and a life-size covered wagon. At the intermission, that cherubic gen- tleman from Iowa, Fat jack Paul, and his melodic quartet stole the show, Mac Peyton did some improvisations on the piano, and the immortal Chuck Huck teamed up with Phil Drinker in an harmonica duet. A lot of credit must be given to the club's adviser, Mr. Dexter Butterfield, through whose efficient guidance the club managed to put on the best dance of the year. MIDWESTERN CLUB SOUTHERN CLUB President: Nelson C. Hyde, jr. Vice-President: Adair Dyer,jr. Secretary: jonathan C. Calvert Adviser: Mr. Galbraith The peaceful atmosphere of Phillips Hall was, one evening, shattered by a series of war whoops from the Big Room. It was merely the Southern Club holding its annual celebration of jeff Davis's birthday. This year the Club prepared for the Spring Dance in its usual languid but effi- cient manner. Under the stabilizing influ- ence of Mr. C-albraith, the Club's adviser, more conservative plans were adopted in preference to yearly suggestions for flaming crosses, white-hooded ushers, and a rebel yell contest at intermission. Despite varied opinions on the decorations for the dance, everyone agreed the the Southerners would, as usual, have the best dance of the year. At first no one was sure what the South- ern Club's contribution for I949 would be. Coates and Terry believed we should keep the yard awake with piano music, McCor- mick appeared to favor the establishment of a Kentucky Derby at Exeter, and Borg- wardt thought that an independent republic of Arkansas should be set up. But suggestions of mint julip parties, Thurmond rallies, and damyankee lynch- ings brought the entire club to agreement. Finally, everyone decided that the project for the year should be to maintain the Southern Club's reputation for hospitality and lavish living. First Row: A.
