-J{ J. C. co-eds, officially designated THE ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS, have demonstrated, with ingenuity, origin- ality, and perseverance, their capacity for keeping the campus in a whirl. Beginning the aforesaid whirl last fall, the women students held a lawn party for the entering Freshmen, featuring a fall fash- ion show. During the year, they sponsored afternoon teas, once a month or so, in their chic and comfortable lounge, entertaining at various times the faculty, the men stu- dents, and the entire student body. The A. W. S. presented varied entertaining as- semblies for its members and secured the Redlands Men ' s Glee Club for a joint as- sembly with the men students. Nineteen delegates attended the A. W. S.-W. A. A. Convention held at Pasadena in November. At the W. A. A. Conference Play Day, the A. W. S. planned the dinner for Christmas on the Farm. During registration, fall and spring, the A. W. S.-W. A. A.-Y ' se Women groups held Open House in the Women ' s Lounge. A traditional project and one of the most all-inclusive of the year was the Co-Ed Revue, which provided last-minute excite- ment and a slight bulge in the treasury. After the recital by Miss Alexandra Grow, in November, the A. W. S. cabinet held a re- ception. The Ladies ' Choice formal Valentine Dance, another old A. W. S. custom, was held this year on February 12, in the mod- ernistically-decorated Social Hall. Late in the spring came the Mother ' s Tea, an Elizabethan festival on the quadrangle. The installation dinner, with its customary table-decoration competi- tion was held in the middle of May. Lucille Nisle, president during the entire year, made a gracious and capable executive. Her cabinet, advised and ass isted by Dr. Tempe E. Allison, dean of women, was composed of Fayette Campbell, vice-president; Selma Allred, secretary; Betty Ardery, treasurer; Mary Jane Hubbs, social chairman; Margery Giffen, welfare chairman; and Halliette Hunt, who succeeded Kay Rdey as program chairman at the semester.

Henry Robertson The mighty males of the campus are technically organized as the ASSOCIATED MEN STUDENTS. That word tech- nically indicates that the men are such busy creatures that their energies are mostly absorbed by occupational, athletic, and service clubs, leaving the A. M. S. as a kind of abstract, honorary brotherhood. The men students are the possessors of a substan- tially and attractively furnished men ' s lounge in the Administration building. The co-eds were given the precious privilege of viewing this masculine retreat, perhaps for the first time, late in April, when the men held open house at a Coffee. Elenry Robertson acted as prexy of the A. M. S. for the entire year, in a very dig- nified and thoughtful manner. Bill Craw- ley served as vice-president, Gordon Lang- don as treasurer, and Gene Pearce as secre- tary. Dean of Men Frank Lindsay advised and guided, consulted and consoled the men, individually and collectively. In November, the men students presented an assembly on the history of aviation. The program consisted of Zeno Clinker ' s five-reel motion picture of Man ' s Conquest of the Air and was followed by a short business meeting. At another assembly last fall a business program was given which included as speakers Mr. Edward Dale and Mr. Fred Mack, local business men, who discussed business tivities of the men, was again accomplished. One of the philanthropic projects of the A. M. S. was the purchasing of those classy grey and blue sweaters for the yell leaders. The men also handled delicate matters like the sale of beanies and conducted the advertising for all home athletic contests. The A. M. S. dug down financially to help the Co-Eds put on the joint assembly featuring the U. of R. Glee Club. Re-upholstering the furniture of the Men ' s Lounge, an annual custom resulting from the hilarious indoor-sports ac- conditions in relation to good citizenship. There was prominently unified action among the members of the A. M. S., although the organization was split into two camps during the Freshman-Sophomore rivalry of the first weeks of school. Strict sophomore en- forcement of the laws of freshman be- havior was accomplished by the use of skillfully wielded paddles, and freshman rebellion was expressed by green foot- prints down Shady Lane and by the class colors nailed to the mast — that is, the flagpole. The traditional pushball contest, a push-over for the sophs, brought the conflict to a close. Bill Crawley Gordon Langdon Gene Pearce

Resuscitated after a lapse of one semester, the COORDINATION COUNCIL, composed of one representative from each subsidiary campus organization, was in- augurated this year at a banquet held at the California Hotel on April 12. The pur- pose of the council, officially sanctioned by the student body at the close of last year, is to coordinate the various groups on the campus. Student problems were especially considered by this year ' s council, which met once a month at afternoon sessions and at dinner gatherings throughout the spring semester. At its first meeting the group unanimously elected Jim Barnum president, and chose for his cabinet John Hume, vice-president, and Albert Floyd, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Nicholas Ricciardi acts as advisor for the council and the deans, Dr. Tempe E. Allison and Mr. Frank B. Lindsey, are ex-officio members. Around the table, left side: D. Osborne, A. Floyd, J.
