Because of the difficulty the Acmcans met in choosing new members, it was decided that some sort of election system should lie formed. Mrs. Wettleson anti Miss Bovee entertained in the home economics room where this problem was discussed. The outcome of this meeting was a point system on which each prosjxtf tivc member will lie graded. Points arc given for activities and personality. One of the high spots of the year was a hobby dinner at the home of Ruth Firestone. Each girl was supposed to dress to represent a hobby. Another event was a steak-fry at I lidden Falls. The annual formal initiation and alumnae banquet was held at the St. Paul Women’s City Club in April. Susannc Geist, Jean Robbins. Virginia Mickel, and Nancy Lee Behlke were the speakers.
