The Ann Arbor Surf-Board-Riding and Mountain-Climbing Society is a traditional organization of law students who enjoy singing. The date of its birth is unknown, but with the exception of the War years it has very successfully carried out its fundamental purpose: that of finding a satisfactory diversion from the study of law. The Psurfs is not a iitop hat and tails organization, but is rather a very informal singing group whose repertoire ranges from songs we like to sing to songs we like to sinv : occasionally it fits in one the audience likes to hear. The membership is generally limited to 11 members, this year being an exception with a membership of 13. There are also 13 directors, although one of the members is nominally the leader. This democracy is said to promote informality. It strives to live up to its motto: HCompared to the Psurfs, the XVhiffenpoofs are definitely passe. th z'rly-four
