The organization for home economics majors and minors, has been an active club on campus. It started the year with the Sock Hop ■ — a co-ed party to raise money to buy china for the home economics depart- ment. Durmg the year it served several teas and dinners for various school and commu- nity functions, and ended the year by being admitted into The National Collegiate So- rority for Home Economists. The Rod and Gun Club is made up of hardy fellows who like the great outdoors, hunting and fishing. Hunting jackrabbits in the desert is an ac- tivity greatly enjoyed by all who can afford a gun. This is usually accompanied by a night spent out on the desert under the stars. Deep sea fishing trips ore usually planned for the Spring of the year when finances are available. Hiking and climbing mountains are also engaged in by men of stamina and endurance. This club permits a fellow to get better ac- quainted with his friends and gives him experience in the proper use of firearms and camping equipment.

CO The Platform Arts Club was an active organiza- tion this year. Composed entirely of academy students and directed by Mr. David Carlson, the club touched many areas of dramatics. Their studies included a unit in public speaking, a unit in oral interpretation, and a final unit in studying the many phases of dramatics. The club produced one major play this year, New Fires by Charles Quimley Burdette, which was very highly commended by many high school educators. It was a delightful story, full of realism, humor, and a strong moral overtone. The class felt that it was a year well spent and they can look back to many enjoyable experi- ences. The Literature club sprang into existence one evenmg when the members of the American Lit- erature class met to listen to records, and en- joyed themselves so thoroughly that they decided they just had to do that more often. With Miss Cassel as advisor and George Schipper as presi- dent the club expanded to take in other inter- ested students. Ttie group met informally to listen to records, share newly discovered gems, and enter into lively, and sometimes rather heated discussions about books, authors, and related matters. Attendance of cultural pro- grams also proved both entertaining and in- structive. 69
