The Green Peppers have really gone to town this yearl If you don't believe it, and ofcourse you do if youve been on the campus, just look at our record: Two ol the college yell leaders, Moana lvlcliarlan and Bernice Alcorn, were chosen from our group, We liked the old yells, but we thought there weren't enough of them so we spon- sored a yell contest-which another Green Pepper, Nadine Sparks, won. We were johnnie-on-the-spot Home- coming day, and took an active part in the parade. We were active supporters at the football and basketball games, and in our estimation we out-yelled any other group. That is, pre- sumably a matter of opinion, ol course. At the St. Ambrose game, the Green Peppers, among other groups, sent a telegram to the basketball squad to show our support and good wishes. We understand none ol the telegrams were received until alter the game, but our intentions were good! To help make money and as an insignia we bought green and white Penn pennants. which we carried at all the football games.

Women's Athletic Association ESTABLISHED 1917. The Womens Athletic Association is one of the most important college organizations for it aids the college girl in developing a well- rounded personality through interest in athle- tics. The promotion of good sportsmanship is one of the primary aims of the W. A. A., as are teamwork and reliability. The W. A. A. has been much more active this year than for several years previous, part- ly due to the fact that the physical education directoress, Mrs. Kirby, is a resident on the campus. Her interest and assistance have done much to promote the Association ae- tivities. The revised charter prepared this year by the officers of the Association with the help of Mrs. Kirby provides a much fairer system of awarding points than was used formerly. As usual however, 35 points in one year entitle a girl to her insignia. 45 points a numeral, 75 points award her a letter, and 135 points a blazer, There is a great variety of sports from which a girl may choose her activities. Swim- ming, hiking, tennis, soccer, basket ball, soft ball, track and gymnastics are some of the important sports for which points are awarded. Varsity, second, and squad teams are selected by the physical directoress, the presi- dent of the W. A. A. and a sports representa- tive chosen by the girls. These teams are composed of the best players and are chosen for sportsmanship as well as ability to play. The members of the Varsity team are awarded 15 points, second team members are given 10 points and squad team members are awarded 5 points. The climax of the years activities is the banquet held in iN4ay at which time awards for the years achievements are given. The an- nual May fete, a college tradition, is presented by the girls the same day. A senior girl is chosen queen and a senior boy is chosen car- dinal for the occasion which provides a fitting climax to the year's activity. Toi' Row-D. Ellis, Kir- by. BOTTOM Row- B.

Chronicle ESTABLISHED 1885. The Chronicle staff this year has attempt- ed to strive for several new goals. Knowing Paul Ellis, you would expect originality in his newspaper, wouldn't you? They have tried to enlist more student participation by the Letters to the Editors columns. The response has shown a large degree of interest in activities varying from the European war to--alarm clocks in Chapel. A strictly journalistic style has been fol- lowed on the front page with the news items, but the articles on the other pages have not necessarily conformed to such rules. This again has stimulated more student writing. There have been as many underclassmcn on the staff as possible in order to train for next year. Two of the department editors were freshmen who did their work well. ln order to make a more attractive Chroni- cle, a better quality of paper was used. The difference in appearance was certainly more than worth the small difference in price. TOP RowfVVilson, Mills, P. Ellis, Dillon, Bucking- h . Burrow R o xv if McCracken, Kincaid. The hrst semester the Chronicle sponsored a contest to discover creative writers on the Campus. Two 1040 Quakers were offered for the best original prose and poetry articles. These were won by Glenn lforsythe and Alice jones respectively. THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief .. ......
