She had challenged them to prove she was not a conscientious objector. The result was that she had con- vinced herself after the cross examination that she wasnit one. This is an example of the interesting and humor-for example, President Peg Doyle,s interpretations of The Sword In the Stone? One book which seemed to puzzle the members was Portrait of Jenny? Some more profound books read were: Out of the Night, iiTrelawnyfi and Beloved Re- turns? Other officers of Guild are Shirley VanAllen, Secretary, and Aileen Leach, Treasurer. THE GIRLS, FORUM-they11 discuss anything often amusing meetings called by President Mary Lou Kent. Such topics as health edu- cation, pre-marriage examination, and what to do with the high grade moron bring about fast and furious discussions. The girls really don,t think they can solve the prob- lems, but the conversation is always inter- esting, sometimes serious, and at other times ridiculous. The other ofIiciaIs of the group are Pris Kinsey and Gail Masom. JUNIOR GUILD Current literature is viewed on campus by this organization. It is done with a definitely objective attitude, though often the girls are carried away by their own emotions and Eigb ly-eigbt LAMBDA SIGMA UPSILON These ten literature enthusiasts do not meet at any coffee-house in front of a big fireplace, but they do get together every two weeks at Dr. Calman,s house where the dis- cussions become very interesting and ex- tremely spirited. After the report, criti- cisms, opinions, and appraisals are presented, the group continues its lively discussion over many cups of coffee. The atmosphere of the old-fashioned coffee house is not necessary to keep this group awake--the interest alone is enough. English iiLitfi started by President Evald B.

ing business students grasp the ideas and principles of the real business world. The organization commands a wide membership of mostly economic majors. It was instituted to further the study and discussion of prob- lems stemming from economics. The meme bers invite businessmen and other individuals competent in their fields to lecture to them. Other meetings are devoted to original re- search in the field done by the students themselves. The Economics Club is unique in its utili- zation of a separate organization to gain its quota for the Endowment Fund. The Stu- dentsi Economic Cooperative Association, or S.E.C.A. to those on campus, was modeled on the lines of a real corporation, incorpo- rated under the laws of the state of New Jersey. The company is operated by the Board of Directors and officers of the cor- poration. Almost every student on campus holds at least one share of stock and thus at stockholders meetings has a share in the di- THE ECONOMICS CLUBh S.E.C.A is their brain child rection of the policies of S.E.C.A. This year under the Chairmanship of George Fenwick and the Presidency of Lu- ther Tillman, with David Smith as President of the Club, the ex-officio member of the corporation, this organization has seen new enterprises entered into and big profits turned over to the Endowment Fund. Many a business man would like to be able to show a 40 7;; net profit as S.E.C.A. succeeded in doing this past year. The goods sold by this enterprising cor- poration range from small pins, pencils, and banners, to writing paper and college seals. Under the leadership of Professor Trotta, the group hopes to become a permanent or- ganization when its endowment pledge is filled, and serve as the college store to ac- commodate the needs of students. A dividend was declared at the end of the fiscal year of 1940-1941. Each stockholder received one of 470 for each share of stock he held. A good investment in every sense.

This year the group made two visits to the theatrical world to see Johnny Belinda,, and Twelfth Night. Beside Dr. Calman, Professor A. M. Carl- son, Professor Rudberg, and Miss Carman attend the meetings and contribute worthy ideas and opinions to the conversation. English Lit,, is noted for the annual gift of books which it gives to the library. Edward Walters is the President of this group, ably assisted by Hans Juergensen, Jeanne Boschen and Peg Doyle. On our campus a group of exact-minded students grouped together into the Mathe- matics Club. The organization is very young yet, counting but two winters. Nevertheless, this youngster has done its share to contrib- ute to our extra-curricular program. In spite of the cold precision for which Mother Mathematica is famed, her children have managed to derive much pleasure from their meetings. Novel aspects to be pre- sented were a survey of the history of A1- gebra and the solving of geometric puzzles.
