It was agreed it would be primarily a study club, with only those studying organ eligible for member- ship. The founder, Mrs. Redic, was chosen president and has served in that capacity since its organization. Meetings occur on the second Monday of the mo11tl1 and are held at the home of thepresident in order to have access to an instrument. The club adopted the following resolutions to raise the standard of organ playing: to in- tensify interest in the organ as a church and concert instrument, study and present representa- tive works from the literature of organ music, acquaint the organist with hymns and services of all churches, and promote a harmonious feeling among organists. livery club program has been intensely interesting, and four have been open to the public. In February of 1938 the club was privileged to bring G. Criss Simpson of K. U. to Winfield for an organ recital. Lectures by guest speakers have made up each January program when ministers and choir leaders are guests. By this means the club learned of the choir and cathedral schools of Eng- land, great hymns of the churches, the Catholic, Episcopal, and Lutheran service and music. A program of folk music was given, and two programs featuring organ and piano duos. In honor of the 250th anniversary of Bach and Handel, an evening was devoted to their works. Easter has been the theme for each April, as has Christmas for December, with those holding church positions furnishing the programs. Also through these members the club has endeavored to aid in commemoration of St. Ceeilia's Day, November 25, by sponsoring special services of hymns in their churches. Many American composers have been studied, including Rogers, Buck, Nevin, Shure, Edmundson, Skilton, Brase, Caul, Diggle, and Clokey. Moonlight over Nazareth , an Easter composition, was dedicated to the club and president by the composer, Roland Diggle. Another, Winter Sunset , came in manuscript form from the composer, Garth Edmundson. With a membership of twenty-three students, each trying to promote the aims of the organiza- tion, the Southwestern Organ Club has completed another profitable year of study and fellowship. Page Z4

Jinx Janes Amid myriad wildly cheering: fans at every Southwestern game, jaunty bell-hop hats, uni- forms of crisp white and loyal purple, and general enthusiasm render the Jinx Janes pep club easily discernible. The name of the club itself is a tribute to the venerable Spirit of the Jinx, which by its very presence through the years has inspired S. Cfs gridiron gallants and brilliant basketeers to victory. The purpose of the organization is to emulate that spirit as far as possible. The traditional enthusiasm with which the founders of the organization endowed the club in l935 has been kept alive to a laudable degree in '37-'38 by its fort y-nine older members and eleven pledges, who combine to till the membership of sixty speeilied by the democratic ideal of Jinx Janes. General activity was highlighted by rush week, from the initial pow-wow,pr0 and con pledges, to the culminating ehili celebration at the Gypsy Trail Tea Boom, and by the Jinx Janes' assembly presentation of the hyper-hysterical drama, 6'Who Killed Southwestern's Pepitu These vital and vivacious vimst.ers were headed this year by Betty Callrey and Jane Craft. Pat Hall acted as cheerleader and general promoter of pep.

This club was organized in the spring of 1937 by a group of enterprising young men who fell, that another year of school life should not pass without an organized men's pep Club to add the needed harmony to the 'two girls' clubs already formed. It was agreed that there should never be more than twenty-four members chosen from the four classes, and that these members would endeavor lo stimulate pep at rallies and games to the best of their ability. Soeial fune- tions were to be held from time to time to foster interest in the organization. H From the tirst of the year Kappa llho has been very mueh in evidenee. Arrayed in snappy, while sweaters with a purple Greek insignia, the elub met in a body at all athletic games. In addition, several parties were held where the members and their guests, in an informal way, struck up enthusiasm among themselves. A 4'Sweetheart Banquet held near the elose of sehool is the final aetivily ol' the club. Ollieers for this year were: First semester president, Al Schwint: second semester president, Clark Owens. Bob Fleener was in Charge of all aetivilies, and Morrison Foster was elub eheer- leader. Page 25
