Anyone was welcome to join the organ- ization, and the girls were to have their own president and other oflicers.

Pease, faculty advisor. lt was through this committee that the mid-year graduating class was able to publish the mid-year annual. Without the backing of the Executive Com: mittee it would have been impossible to have published this book. It was also by the aid of this committee that Tacky Day was made a success. By these activities and many more this committee has shown itself to be an eflicient and energetic body. I Mgr' .xvlllfff rn
