With the presentation of the women's bunga- low, the round of events commenced. The bright drapes and interior decorations of the bun- galow provided a colorful background for many affairs, beginning with the Christmas Party, which was attended by an enthusiastic group of women. The Halloween Masquerade Dance and Penny Hop were sponsored by the A. W. S. during the fall semester, while the installa- tion of a piano in the bungalow made it an ideal place for club hops and socials. The A. W. S. president, Evelyn Clemens, was responsible for this and many additional features. During the Thanksgiving holiday. the Social Welfare Committee, headed by Evelyn Pfeiffer, distributed food and money to several needy Santa Monica families. She was also in charge of candy sales to raise the money for this activity. The second semester opened with a candle-lighting installation ceremony followed by a tea in the patio. A business and social meeting of the A. W. S. was held once a month, with an interesting program. In April, a spring fashion show was held, at which nine Junior Col- lege women modelled the newest bathing suits, sports outfits, afternoon and evening gowns. Mrs. Louise Sooy, of the U. C. L. A. Art Department was the speaker of the day, and was enthusiastically received. During this month, the wives of the Junior College Faculty chose the women's bungalow for their monthly meeting and luncheon. The A. W. S. Cabinet acted as co-hostesses with Mrs. Bradford and Mrs. Sandmeyer, presenting a musical program, and being responsible for decorating the room and and serving the luncheon. The May meeting featured a May Eestival, with dances, songs and the appearance of a Junior College ensemble. Tea was served in the patio following the program. On June 2nd, the Associated Women Students entertained the Senior A girls from Samohi, at an afternoon tea, which included a musical program and a tour of the buildings. Sweet pea corsages were distributed as favors. A . T The Commission Dinner, June 9th, was the last social affair presided over by the Asso- ciated Women Students this year. Phyllis Brown, A. W. S. president, acted as toastmistress, and the dinner was enjoyed by the commissioners, the faculty advisers, and Doctor and Mrs. Bush. This entertainment has become a tradition, and is eagerly anticipated by each semester's commission. The Associated Women Students have been unusually active this year. New furniture and dishes have been bought for the bungalow, and the women realize that they have a cozy, home-like place in which to study, read, and play. Pearl Hamlin, the dean of women, has been untiring in her help and guidance, and has been above all, responsible for the fine spirit shown in the organization.

Page, Phillips, Hanekamp WOMENS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ITH Geraldine Page as its president and Miss Mary K. Carroll as sponsor, the Women's Athletic Association of Santa Monica Junior College continued to grow more and more popu- lar as the year passed. The most notable achievement of the year was the success of Jerry Page and the ex- ecutive board in securing a higher award in the form of a letter to be given to the women. Two major and one minor sports entitled the participant to this monogram. - Some of the high spots of the year were the Annual Basketball Spreadlat which the higher awards were presented for the first time: The Gym Circus with its side-shows, clowns, and evening of entertainment in the big ring : the three Play-Days, the first and last were held at Los Angeles Junior College and the second at Pasadena Junior College: and the final function of the year, the Beach Party given by the out-going executive board in honor of the newly-elected officers of the club. This organization sent two representatives to the Annual Conference of Associated Women Students and Women's Athletic Associations which was held at Chaffey Junior Col- lege. Whether or not delegates will be sent to the tenth annual Western Division meeting of Women's Athletic Associations had not been decided at the time the yearbook was sent to press, although it is believed that those delegates will be named at a later date. A Much of the success of this year's activities may be attributed to the hard work of Miss Carroll and to Jerry Page. To Miss Carroll goes the credit for the Circus and the Spread. Jerry deserves praise for her work on the Spread and for her efforts which finally resulted in the commission giving its consent to her request for a high award for women's sports. The W. A. A. is to be congratulated for having chosen two such women for its leaders. The women who held positions on the executive board of the association for the past year are: Geraldine Page, president: Veronica Hanekamp, vice-president: Louise Marcus. awards-secretary: and Doris Phillips. secretary-treasurer. The managers of the various sports were: I-lilda Ives, speedball: Inez O'Connor, basketball: Pat Potter, swimming: Laura Curtis, 1' baseball: Joy Rutherford, tennis: Elcyne Lynch, archery: and Pauline Thompson, volley ball. xc' . isis 4' ' ., i f x y 41, - Y fi- .
