On Valentine’s Day, the coeds took their favorite fellows out for an evening of fun and feasting. Those seated at the speaker's table eagerly waited for the meal and entertain- ment to begin. maces ae % C4 Ve en sal After enjoying a delicious meal at the annual Co-ed Club Christmas Dinner, each coed received a gilt from Santa Claus. ACTIVITIES FOR WOMEN “All for one and one for all’’ was the basic thought upon which the Co-ed Club was founded 30 years ago. This thought was responsible for the friendly atmosphere and the warm feelings each coed had for her women classmates. At the Little Sister Supper, the club’s first social event of the year, the sophomore members entertained the in- coming members. After a delicious meal prepared by the old members, the new members were installed during an impressive candlelight ceremony. October brought the Halloween Tea. Faculty mem- bers were the guests of honor, and with the help of the colorful decorations, everyone got into the spirit of the holiday. Members of Kappa sorority held the Halloween Tea.

GYM JAMS OPEN HOUSE One of the most popular events held each year for both the men and women of the college, the Gym Jams sponsored by the WAA and the Letter- men’s Club continued to attract much attention in January and again in April. Activities at each Gym Jam were plentiful and varied. For those whose athletic taste ran to the more rigorous type sport, basketball and volleyball games were held. The gym Stage served as bad- minton courts. Shuffleboard and table tennis were two activities enjoyed by students and faculty alike on the mezzanine. Two Swimming sessions were held in the new pool, where swimmers played water polo, dived, or just dangled their toes in the water. Then too, some people preferred to sit back, relax, and talk over the problems of school and the world in general.

Two carefully planned Smokers were held in November and March in the Union Room. At both occasions, the evening got underway about 7:30 p.m., as everyone exchanged helloes and some new (and some very old) jokes. By 8:00, everyone was glad to sit back, relax, and watch movies — in one case, football films, in the other, official Victory At Sea movies shown by James Daley. The much anticipated Mother-Son Banquet has become an annual affair. Last year’s banquet was held at Surma’s Restaurant, and the impressive turn-out seemed to indicate that the affair should be held annually. The men and their dates were treated to tasty table fare, and afterwards to an inspirational after-dinner talk. sage eee ie
