l REV. LAXVKENCE PIOTRZKOWSKI, O. S. B. LIBRARY ST FF 1 f 1 HE task of reorganizing the staff has been more difficult this year than in the past, as James Markle and Edward McAnerney were the only veterans. With these as a nucleus, however, Rev. -Father Lawrence, O. S. B., has built up- an efficient organ- ization, as those who have used the library will testify. At the first meeting of the staff, James Markle was elected president, Edward Mc- Anerney vice-president, and Kenneth O'Loane secretary. Throughout the year regular meetings have been he given b-y Father Lawrence on questions concerning the management of the library. A large number o-f books has been added and their classification formed a regular part of the instruction. The knowledge thus gained has been freely placed at the disposal of the students. The untiring work of Father Lawrence and the staff has done much to create an organization of great benefit for obtaining the maximum of service from the library. ld, at which instruction was IDGET ARTIAN 1 1 1 ANUARY, 1.930, witnessed the appearance of a diminutive periodical known as the Midget Martian. Father Gerald, Freshman High School Adviser, was responsiblefor its inception. The writing of the stories, editorials, movie reviews, personals, and athletic news, is entirely the work of Freshman students. Twenty copies are issued weekly, each one composed of five sheets of typ-ing paper. The 'paper sells for five cents. Louis Campbell is the eiiieient Managing Editor. The interesting style of Terrence Mackles, Editor-in-Chief, insures a thorough enjoyment of the Midget Martian.

HE I-Iallovve,en carnival was again entrusted to the club. Arnold Baker and his 'assistants were untiring in their tasks of decorating the gym and managing the booths. The attendance exceeded that of last year, and it is to our patronizing friends that we owe the financial and social success of. the occasion. ' The outstanding social event of the year was the College Informal. Under the guidance of the committee in charge, Michael Contris, Ralph Armstrong, and Arnold Baker, chairman, the most successful Informal in the history of the Sigma Mu Kappa was presented. The beautifully decorated Olympia Eagles Hall was filled to its capacity and our guests all left saying a good word for St. Martin's and the Sigma Mu. Kap-pa. It was a financial success as Well as a moral victory for the club. The culmination of the activities of the season is the annual Sigma Mu Kappa banquet. As was the case in preceding years the banquet will probably be held in the Hotel Olympian in Olympia. ' In completing the fourth successful year of the Sigma Mu Kappa we feel that We have do-ne our bit for the college, and for the furtherance of the social and intellectual element in the life of the college student.

HALLQXWITEN CARNIVAL iff , S in former years, Sigma Mu Kappa members exerted themselves to the utmost to make the annual I-Iallowe'en Carnival a roaring success. Did they succeed? Very 'A well indeed, thank you. Everyone did his little part and did it well, concessions and booths took up all the available space in the gym. To say who had the most attractive stand is impossible, b-ut several are especially worthy of mention. The Bier Garten oper- ated by I-Ierr Markel and his Chewelah associates aroused much interest: the Keeno stand did land ofHce business, as also did the Wheel of Chance. Lack of space prevents us from doing honor to the numerous other concessions, but we had them, yes siree! While the p-reparations were taking place many curious individuals attempted to take a peep so that they could be prepared for the treat that awaited them on the festive night, but they were gently falthough very firmlyj shoved through the exits. Finally the doors were opened to the expectant crowd who hardly recognized the interior of the gym in its gay plumes and decorations-crepe pap-er of all colors, autumn leaves, green, and what-not. p ' N The entertainment committee, consisting of Arnold Baker, Clarence Froehle and Herbert Hughes, provided interesting spectacles at intervals throughout the evening. Several red-hot boxing matches took place and Mr. Froehle amused the crowd by display- ing his ability at jump-ing, tumbling and swinging Indian clubs. Twelve oiclock p. m. Good night, folks. This is the time when our festival must close. Everyone seems satisfied--patrons have seen what they came for and the boys behind the counters have the kale, and their supp-lies are dep-leted. I ask you, what could be sweeter? In a few minutes everyone has gone, and once more all is quiet on the western front.
