They assisted with the Christmas basket project, the Red Cross campaign and collaborated with the Hi-Y's in the 4 C's campaign. This year the Senate recommended nine month- ly parties to replace the matinee and after-game dances. Also they recommended selecting the monitors for next year from the Senate organiza- tion. The traffic committee worked hard to try to re- route traffic in the halls between periods to avoid too many using the east stairs and to get more to use the west steps. The cafeteria committee cooperated with P. J. Martin and tried to keep cleanliness in the cafe- teria at all times. A committee, headed by Natalie Harris, was selected to try and see what could be done to get better club attendance.
