McRae. 8chrppke. TuUl« Bevlll . Wood. Willi . Adam ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS Following the precedent established in 1933-34- when Margaret R. Taylor was president, the Associated Women Students this year, under the leadership of Edith I.everton, launched a program of activity that continued from the very opening of school through the week of final exams. Get-acquainted teas for the benefit of all freshmen girls and new students were held throughout registration week, during the fall, and several other times during the year. Perhaps the outstanding event of the year was the Co-ed Formal at F,1 Conquistador, March 2, sponsored by A. W. S. This was the one night that women acted as squires, paying all expenses, furnishing transportation, and taking over all the burdens customary for males to assume. Besides Miss Leverton, officers of A. W. S. this year were Mozelle Wood, vice-president; Dolly S. Beville, secretary; Betty Tuttle, treasurer; Marion Scheppke, social chairman; Flora Lou Kettenback, publicity chairman; Anne Willis, activities chairman. Page 32

Hlght, Dial STUDENT BODY SECRETARIES Two students, Miss Amelia Herbella and Miss Lucy Todd, served as secretaries of the student body this year. This was perhaps the first time in a decade that more than one girl fulfilled the secretarial duties. Miss Herbella, who was elected in the Associated Student election last spring, failed to return to school the second semester, and President William Clark appointed Miss Todd to serve until after the 1935 election. The secretaries handled most of the correspondence carried on by the student body officers. They filled out various question-aires, typed reports, and copied articles for publication. Assisting the Misses Herbella and Todd this year were Katherine Huffman, Billie Henning, Barbara Rorback, Jo Dial, and Mary Louise Hight. A. HERBELLA

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE “Give the students what they want,” was the policy adopted by Gil Thayer, assembly committee chairman, during 1934-35. University assemblies are weekly, with the faculty alternating with the students in providing entertainment. Dr. F. C. Lock-wood has charge of those sponsored by the faculty. Those at which the students take charge are opened by the student body president and are governed by parliamentary laws of procedure before they are turned over to the entertainment committee. Among the outstanding student programs of the year were those featuring the Santa Rita Rendezvous orchestra, the University Players, the Spanish club play, Doris Darnel and Burney Vaughn’s Varsity Club orchestra, the sorority skits, the football team and coach Gerald A. “Tex” Oliver, and the awards of honor. Students who served with Thayer on the committee were Mary Otis, Nancy Crowfoot, Charles Herzog, and Bruce Memicken. G. THAYER
