Sophomore Gourt “Order in the court, Order in the court”, once more rang out, and the famed Sophomore court was in session. The members of the court looked very serious as they thought of the dangerous criminals who would be brought before them. Presiding on the Bench as Supreme Judge was Dr. Park, attired in the usual purple and white robe, which typified the dignity of the office. We were honored to have two famous Attorneys appear before the packed courtroom. They were none other than Mr. Pete Smick, Prosecuting Attorney, and Mr. Al Bishop, Attorney for the Defense. Other members of this most noble Court included Dave Keener, Court Secretary; Terry Martin and Jim Coppola, keepers of the books; Marian Buechle, Child Psychologist; and Vince Gustafson, Court Clerk. We have the honor of announcing the fact that this has been the first Sophomore Court proceeding that has ever been transcribed in the history of The King’s College. When you get old and grey and you think your kids are bad, call up Alex Morrison and he will replay for you the transcription of the horrible crimes committed and punishments imposed upon the freshmen of the class of 1951. “Hail thou, nifty class of Fifty!”

Sketch Club At the present time the Sketch Club is the newest club on the campus, but it looks as if it is going to be one of the most interesting. Mrs. “Bea” Crowther, who is the art instructor and an excellent adviser, is always right there ready to help us. This club is not limited to art students only, but consists of those interested in any kind of sketching. So, those who have had a secret yearning to try their hand at some drawing are gladly welcomed. We began with figure sketching inside, and when the weather is warmer, we expect to roam the campus and go on short hikes to sketch the scenery. The club wishes to ac- complish pencil and charcoal sketching and later go into colors. Our aim is to have a good time in fellowship while learning and enjoying the art of sketching.

Friend Society During the fall of 1946 a few of the supporting cast felt a need of more intimate fellowship among themselves, and spontaneously started the Friend Society. At the outset it was a very loosely constructed organization led by Friend Malcolm Brown, the first High and mighty Potentate. Of the charter members there were Friend G. Meyers, Friend J. Sastic, Friend G. Benallack, Friend D. Drake, and Friend D. Bowser. The organization of the society has evolved into a closely knit group. A faculty advisor has been elected and a constructive purpose outlined. Of course, as from the beginning, all members are perfect; that is, infallible. They are required to be above the rank of freshman and to have had no affiliation with the service. The first and foremost rule of the society is that members must “Forsake all”. This year the Friend Society has grown in size. There is in addition to the seven perfect members and one faculty advisor, an auxiliary known as the “Sisters’ Society”. This society is composed of the subsidiaries of the Friends, whose purpose is to assist the Friend Society in any and all of their activities. The privileged few this year are as follows: FRIEND GeorcE Meyers—High and Mighty Potentate; Subsidiary ROXANNA RICHARD Frrenp Dick BowsEer—V ice-Potentate; Subsidiary RutH HEcEn Friend Git BenatLtack—Public Relations; Subsidiary GLORIA SEELY FRIEND EHRMANN BeNnNeEtt—Treasurer; Subsidiary YVONNE ECKARDT FRIEND Cart Gustarson—Secretary ; Subsidiary VivIAN KRESGE Frienp Dick SmirH—Subsidiary Berry BAapporr Friend Dave KEENER—Subsidiary RutH HEUTHER Friend Mr. Davies—Faculty Advisor
