DRIFT msg 21 'ni , ANQCI. HE ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS have engaged in activities during the past semester which have furnished the strength and spirit of the organization. The Welcoming tea, given in honor of the Alpha women, was held early in the semester. At this affair, the Big Sisters and their Little Sisters became acquainted. This tradition has been followed: each upper-class woman being given the name of an Alpha woman and acting as her Big Sister during her first semester at college. When the Junior College moved to its new quarters, the A. W. S. was given a bungalow to use for studying and lounging, and to make a suitable meeting place for the women. The money which the Commission granted the Association was used in furnishing the bungalow. The art department assisted in decorating the interior. A waffle breakfast was given by the members of the A. W. S. Council, to the Deltas and faculty members. This breakfast was served in the newly-decorated women's bungalow. Those elected to membership on the A. W. S. council besides the oflicers were: Delta representative, Duska Kirkpatrick: Gamma representative, Bobbie Twaddell: Beta, Marjorie Crouch: Alpha, Virginia Gaalken. A movement was started to incorporate the Women's Athletic Association and the Y. W. C. A. as divisions of the A. W. S., these being subsidiary organizations. Miss Robinson's guidance and sponsorship throughout the year has been an inspiration to the women, and there were many sad hearts at the farewell given late in the semester in her honor. Miss Robinson has always been most sympathetic and her wise counsel will be missed by the many friends, who have been happy to be associated with her in various ways. This farewell was also a reception to our new dean, Pearl Hamlin.
