Sigma Alplla Sigma Sigma Alpha Sigma, honorary speech fraternity, was coached this year by Speech Prof. Leon Mulling and captained by Dean Nichols. With the assistance of Co-captains Boyd Wil- son, Marvin Throne, and George Bac- cus, the speech team played many a vigorous game. Most of the Sig Alphs scrimmaged with local Toastmaster clubs while others often fumbled the ball at S.O.C. assemblies. Leading ball carriers of the team in intercollegiate competition were debaters Bob Hilliard, Bernie Kelly, Pete Soderlund, and Lee Stothers. Lee Stothers, flashy ball carrier, led the S.A.S. team to glory at the an- nual high school debate conference in January, later, the team as a whole showed their progress by tackling the Senior Weekend assembly. l li 3'

s '. Womenjs Recreation Assoc. The women's side of the Physical Edu- cation Department went into a huddle early in the Fall quarter . . . threw the sig- nals around for a while, and came up with- a terrific play called Women's Recreation Association. This play developed S.O.C.'s fine women athletes into a smooth-working team quarterbacked by Miss Beverley Ben- nett. First downs in the form of skating, tennis, swimming, and hiking parties aided W.R.A. in scoring convincing victories throughout the season. The goals of its coaches and trainers were to utilize the special abilities of all scrubs and to mould them into varsity ma- terial capable of carrying the ball in the educational, recreational, and social fields. To date W.R.A. has had a tough sche- dule, but with the continued support of the old varsity and with the help of new pros- pects who are expected to arrive next year, the W.R.A. squad should be able to con- tinue scoring victories on the field. l
