For these affairs they select as their entertain- ment any one ofa number of possible programs such QS: a fashion show, musical program, guest speaker, crazy hat contest, or skits. Wives from each section run the commit- tees that make all the arrangements of which making dec- orations, organizing the program, and selecting the menu are but a few. Two faculty wives in each wing volunteer to act as advisors to the students'wives and offer guidance and assistance.

Thus it can be said that in educating the whole mon at Squadron Officer School, the distaff side ofthe student's life is considered an important and valuable asset. We like to think ofthe officer and his wife as being a team in support of the Air Force.
