ARTHUR L DAVIS Treasurer MARTIN J. ENGEL Sigma Sigma Omicron, the honorary scholar- ship fraternity, aims to promote scholarship and foster a respect for scholastic achievement among the students of the college. Founded in 1933, the membership is limited to twenty students of Junior or Senior standing, whose accumulative indices are 2.25 or higher. Originally merely called the Honor Society, the name was changed to its present form in 1938 and the motto, Service through Scholarship for Washington, was adopted. Its most recent ac- S.S.D HONOR SOCIETY complishment is the adoption by the adminis- tration of a Dean ' s list, granting unlimited cuts to Juniors and Seniors having indices of at least 2.25. Due to the summer session ' s making three people eligible for membership at other than the usual time, the society inducted these stu- dents at an assembly late in the fall, initia ting them soon thereafter. However, the usual assem- bly was scheduled for February 27, to take in all other students who became eligible at the close of the first semester. Throughout the year, the Society followed its practice of gathering information about fellowships available at differ- ent universities for the benefit of any interested members of the student body.

The Washington Elm this year saw a six-page paper come off the press almosf every weekend. There were more pictures than there had ever been before, and there were more new pictures than there had been in any other volume of the publication. There was more writing to a column, more careful reporting of the news, and less filler used. The feature page was developed with interesting stories of people and events connected with the college, and the sports page was brightened. The editorship of the ELM was divided with each editor taking an equal part in the produc- tion. The editorial work was divided between the associate editor and the editor; the feature page was taken care of by a separate editor; and the sport page was planned and filled by its editor. The February graduation took Doc Parris, the associate editor; Jim Aycock, the sports editor; Phyllis Peters, the woman ' s editor, and Dian Hubbard, social columnist, from the paper. The ELM lost good workers by gradu- ation. BUSINESS STAFF Standing, left to right: Chamberlain, Case, Reed. Seated: Slade, Valentine, Juliana.
