QTAGQ THE Associated Menis Club, known more familiar- ly to campus inhabitants as the HStags.H was founded near the start of the second semester; and at once began to take, an active part in student body affairs. The organization had as its purpose the fos- tering of true college traditions and the improve- ment of the schools general welfare. Taking over the care 01' the menis club rooms was the first action of the club. A set of rules re- garding the proper use of these rooms was at once drawn up and a em'nmittee appointed to see that they were enforced. Boxing. wrestling. and music with refreshments furnished by Epsilon Eta were the main features of the successful smoker held on the opening night. The next thing that held the interest of the men was High School Day. A number of the members husied themselves by helping to receive the Visitors and by showing them the grounds. A program was also given that afternoon for the benefit of the male visitors. The officers of this live-wire organization were Hi Dillon, president; Lyman Seheel, Vice-president; Alden Ross, secretary and treasurer. All of these proved themselves very well fitted for their posi- tions and did splendid work in helping the club to organize and take its initial steps. For the coming year the following Officers were elected: Ail'red Tarr. president; T0111 Harland. Vice- president; and Herman Harris. secretary and treas- urer.
