ch College spirit, which flared up so brilliantly in the spectacular parade to the Parliament Buildings, is a very unpredictable thing. Any- one who has had to encourage it or rely on it will -agree that this is true. The club presidents on the following pages are the people who coped with it during the past year and, in most instances, they prefer to remain silent on the subiect. Only a month or so after the move to the Normal School building, two new organizations were begun-proof of the now more favourable climate-but, despite publicity from club presi- dents, certain staff members and Sign-Painter Gordie MacDonald, some clubs remained poorly attended. While a large gathering is not expected in a few of the more exclusive societies, the lack of ' if if attendance in others is lamentable. Clubs such as the I.R.C. and Psychology Committe, and this year too, the Literary Arts, often sponsor speak- ers or movies which are of interest to all students. These meetings, whether held at noon hours or in the evenings, help to balance every student's education and, therefore, should not be consid- ered as time lost from studies. To the students who .M took part in College activi- ties these pages are dedi- cated. Perhaps, too, those who plan on returning in the Fall will consider the nature and function of each organization, and take a new interest in Col- lege affairs. lla IU! GORDON MQCDONALD Victoria College Sweaters at I-IOCKING '35 FORBES Sporting Goods Pursuing a very busy course this year, the Women's Under- tLeft to Riqhtl DOREEN CAMPBELL, LIZ FOOTE. A4 - SHEILA GALLAHER graduate Society has successfully undertaken a wide variety of activities. Highlights of the year were the Co-Ed, a meeting featuring the noted psychiatrist, Dr. Alcorn, thrown open to the entire student body, and a novel Mixer. After weathering the traditional scathing remarks tdefence mechanism of the worried male student bodyl and being labelled no worse than the Women's Underhand Society, the hard-working W.U.G. committees produced in the Co-Ed one of the most successful dances of the year. Boasting not one, but four, Mistresses of Ceremonies, the Mixer proved both a social and finan- cial success. Other noteworthy accomplishments took the form of a poppy day for the Remembrance Committee, a Women's Social, a raffle and several speakers. A lasting remembrance of the '46-'47 Women's Undergradu- ate Society is the change in the constitution which resulted in elect- ing the president of the W.U.G.S. at the same time as the other offices on the Students' Council. The drapes in the Women's Com- mons, bought from money raised by the Mixer and the raffle, will also be remembered. In addition to the latter, the Society was able to leave in the' hands of next year's executive approximately S200- this amount the result of S50 wrung from the Students' Council after much haggling, weeping and table-pounding, graciously doubled by the College Board, and added to by the Normal School Board- and plans drawn up by an expert interior decorator for the further renovation of the Womens' Commons. Directing this year's successful activities was the very cap- able executive consisting of Doreen Campbell,.president, and Eliza- beth Foote, secretary. Their work was immeasurably aided by diligent and competent committees and by the understanding and very much appreciated help and encouragement of Miss Baxendale. 16 i
