The Chief The Woman's Auxiliary to the Student American Medical As- sociation, is a national group devoted to the interests of wives of medical students, interns, and residents. Specifically, its purpose is to assist wives in Ending a closer relationship with other medical wives, and to acquaint them with the professional aims and ideals of medicine. To these ends, the past year's several excellent pro- grams were directed. The August welcome picnic introduced freshmen wives to the group. Later in the fall, the annual rummage sale was held to re- plenish the treasury as well as the WA-SAMA Grant-in-Aid Fund. Monthly visits to Ypsilanti State Hospital gave members op- portunity for patient contact and brightened somewhat the lives ofthe inmates. Lectures during the year were several and included timely ones by Dr. Stuart Finch on child psychiatry and hy Dr. j. Robert Willson on the abortion laws. The highlights of the spring term were the annual fashion show and the senior farewell. ln addition to general group functions, each individual class also supported a full schedule ofactivities. This year, as in the past several years, Mrs. Clarence Crook and Mrs. Russell Dejong were our liaisons from the Washtenaw Coun- ty Medical Auxiliary. The group wishes to thank them as well as all the doctors' wives who opened their homes to us for council meetings during the year. Pat Carmody A--.-A i ? H- an T i ii -sf :l iz it ,, gi v ' Jw .
