Owen Obie O'Brien, Fall AMS president, turned out to be one of the best campus leaders ever to take office. When the AMS and AWS de- cided to sponsor a ioint Hallow- een party in the fall, this ener- getic group of men students under the leadership of O.B. O'Brien, sat down and system- atically scheduled the whole affair to insure its success. AM Under the leadership of Gwen O'Brien and Tom Sikking, the AMS achieved a record second to none on the campus during the fall semester, First on its agenda, the AMS presented a feast to the football squad at the beginning of the season. Probably the outstanding event sponsored by this club was the traditional Alpha-Beta Brawl on October 22.

As host to the football squad, the AMS Club again entertained on December 18 with a banquet at Ar1gelino's Italian Restaurant and thus ended an activity-Hlled semester.
