VARSITY S The Salem college Varsity S club at the end ot the l94I school year, elected tor its leader Ross White, for the Vice-President Frank Yack Mazza and tor Secretary- treasurer, Clem Clower. At the beginning ot the year the only thing that was accomplished was the purchase ot a jacket for Coach John Moore. The club decided that all members that have earned a varsity letter should receive a sweater. For the seniors a white coat sweater with a letter on the lett-hand side, and for all underclassmen a pullover sweater with a letter inscribed on the front. A During the latter part ot the year the Varsity S club voted that the members ot the club should cooperate in putting on a minstrel show. This was decided in March and was scheduled to be given late in the spring. The last achievement was an independant basketball tournament, held at the college gymnasium, and under the supervision of the members ot the varsity club. The otticiat- ing and all other details was taken care of completely by the rnembers ot the organiza- tion.

Y. W. C. A. The Y. started functioning even before the college officially opened. Names of pre- registered Freshman girls were passed among the upper class Y. members with the ad- dress of the new student and thus friendly relations were established through the Big Sister plan. The annual Fall Festival, Freshman Tea, and St. Patriclcs Tea were observed as usual. The most eventful project of the year was the Student Volunteer and Christian Move- ment Conference. As an outcome of the conference, the Y. sponsored a Student War Relief Fund. Early in the second semester the Y. observed Religious Emphasis Week by sponsoring a fifteen minute meditation period at l:OO every day. Officers: Lenore Davis, President: Virginia Lee Robinson, Vice-President, Rhoda Robin- son, Secretary, and Ann Kemper, Treasurer.
