OFFICERS President Thomas Howard Vice President William Haag Secretary Alberta Soderstrom Treasurer Howard Sternberg awmS We five people have done our best to make this issue of the Morgan Tower as fine as any ever published here at Morgan. W would however have failed com- pletely had we not obtained the co-operation of the whole class for selling ads, producing write-ups, and all the other minute essentials. Our book could not help but be financially successful, but it is our earnest hope that it may be a pleasure to each owner for many years to came. This will be the true factor in its failure or success.

All who attended will re- member the fine food and are not apt to miss such an event again - just ask someone who was there! lt was also financially worthwhile. The officers which led the group were indeed a vigorous group to execute these fine activities. Miss Strange, their advisor, also deserves much credit for their success.
