This year as usual the club placed a decorated Christmas tree on the college tower to help everyone get in the Christmas spirit for Eager Heart. In addition each year the Sigs entertain guests at a Christmas party (and sometimes there is mistletoe!) . Early in the spring the Sigs entertained their fathers at a banquet given in the Men’s Lounge. The Mothers’ Day l ea was given in May. Mrs. Lucille Springer is faculty sp onsor of the group, and Miss Lucile Jones is an honorary member. Last year the basketball banquet was discontinued and a Sig basketball award was given to the player who proved himself most valuable to the team. Harold Seim was the ‘lucky man’ this year to receive the award in March. The year’s activities closed with the formal given at the Rose Room of the McCurdy in May. Members Margaret Abel Nina L.
