ASSOCIATED STUDCnTS JAMES G. SCANLAN, President ADDISON C. SMITH, Vice-President MARY POWERS, Secretary LOUIS SAUVAIN, Treasurer WILLIAM KELLY. Sergeant-al-A rms OPERA TING as a well-organized and representative group, the Associated Students of Seattle College entered another highly successful year, both scholastically and socially. Governed by a constitution adopted in the spring of 1937, the ASSC has functioned in a democratic and orderly fashion handling all matters concerning the welfare of the students as a group. Under the leadership of James G. Scanlan, president, the past year has shown many improvements in matters concerning student government. Other officers elected to hold positions in the ASSC were: Addison C. Smith, vice-president; Louis Sauvain, treasurer; Mary Powers, secretary; William Kelly, sergeant-at-arms. Taking the lead in all activities during the year, these students were well deserving of the responsibility and the trust placed in their hands. Realizing the need of a weII-organized and well-rounded schedule of social activities, President Scanlan organized a group which was known as the Activities board. This group of students performed a task which had long been neglected. It was the duty of the Activities board to calendar all social events for the entire year and to insure the various organizations cooperation in every function undertaken. Membership is composed of all ASSC officers and the presidents of the various classes and organizations throughout the college. In this manner every group of students had equal representation.

The ASSC was entertained also by members of the Men’s Quartet who rendered several selections which were well received by the student body. Rev. Francis E.

McGoldrick, S.J., Dean of Studies, also addressed the students. Father McGoldrick pointed out the fact that no education is complete without the student participating in one of the various activities offered. Peter Maurin, co-editor of the Catholic Worker, spoke to the student body on the necessity of the ’'Rehabilitation of the Proletariat.” This was one of the outstanding talks of the year and was the cause of much discussion and debate by the students.
