Bohman, President; L. Newton, Vice-President; S. Wilds, Secretary; and J. Romig, Treasurer. The organization had many activities during the year. First on the calendar was the initiation of new members. They were attired in shorts, shirts, and other weird costumes, for the informal initiation, which lasted for one week. At the conclusion of this period, a formal initiation was held. The biggest event of the year was the annual Snow Murry Dance, held at the Naval Armory. Refreshments were served, and all had a delightful time dancing to the music of Alan Isley’s band. BOOK CLUB Sitting: J. Ramos, E. Barde-son, L. Newton, J. Quint, C. Hiestand, J. Quigley, J.
