Credit is due the Cabinet members who, under the leadership of Gertrude Opp, very ably conducted the activities of the several groups. MenTs Council T has long been an economic commonplace that necessity is the mother of invention. It was the necessity for further responsibility that this year forced the Men,s Organization and its subsidiary Council into existence. The advent of an enlarged menTs social room, taking in the old dining room, and the new buffet, s0 increased the duties of the social room committee that agitation for a representative organization of men was started early in the second semester. A constitution was drawn up and adopted at a meeting of the men in the social room. The constitution provided for a council, composed of seven representatives, four from the men,s houses of the dormitory and three from the Daydodgers. The chairman is elected by the members of the council at its first meeting. The Council, acting as an executive body for the entire men,s organization, takes over the duties of the defunct social room committee, and in addition regulates Friday night dances, levies taxes, and acts on all matters of importance pertaining exclusively to the men. The otgani- zation is still in its infancy, but it promises to be a force 1n the community in the years to come. Present members of the Council are: Maurice Howard, Howard Smyth, Ted Miller, William Helms, Merritt Scott, and Harry McCoy.

chorus give two or three concerts in the course of a year, but the Quest must appear each week, no matter how dim its light, or the howl of disappointment and bitter criticism would be over- whelming. In the early years of the college it was a bi-weekly publication, and achieved a somber dignity that succeeding staffs have at once tried to imitate and eradicate. But all in all its growth has been steady until now it is the barometer of campus spirit as well as a faithful recorder of student activity. It has also become mature enough to enter the family of college dailies and weeklies of the Pacific Coast, and as a member of the Pacihc Intercollegiate Press Association to contribute its share to the solution of the common problems of its members. Quest editors innovated many new customs this year. William Stone made the job of reporting one of more than plain business by inaugurating a Thursday lunch for the staff in the Commons, after which the weekly assignments were given out. The year-old custom of letting the Frosh see the old year out was continued, a verdant sheet being put forth by the yearlings. When Mary Ellen Gantenbein took oHice as editor at the beginning of the spring semester Sundays were made a holiday once more and the work was done on Saturday, publication being advanced from Wednesday to Tuesday. Once a month the Quest appeared with an extra sheet tucked into the middle which contained the best efforts of the Literats for the period. To be a member of the stag has become an honor instead of a burden. Added efficiency and pleasure in the work became the keynote of every one,s efforts who was connected with the Quest. Easton Rothwell, Charles Webster, Winfield Woodings, Robert Osborn, and Helen Pippy are on the Editorial Staff, while William Helms is the business manager. Reporters are Clinton Wilson, Betty Gore, August Beich, Ted Miller, Merritt Scott, Alice Abbott, Alice Lathrop, Ira Berkey, Ted Steffen, Florence Fowler, Austin Hutcheson, Nancy Gavin, James Stone, and Hortense Nichols.
