X7 The Six-Footers ' Club, one of Wilson ' s largest organizations, is sponsored by Mr. James Miller. The tallest member of the club is the honorary Sir Mascot, Slim Keating, six feet, four and one-half inches tall. Upon achieving the eligibility mark of six feet, the members dedicate themselves to upholding the constitution, and de- voting themselves to folly, friv- olity, and nonsense. The Six-Footers engage in social and athletic activities. Bowling and basketball are the chief sports on the program. Social activities include parties, dances, and picnics. The officers for this semester were Ken Knudsen, Lord of the Stratosphere; George McMahon, Baron of the Stratosphere; and Wil- bur Eubanks, Sky-Writer. Of interest to all the school is the semi-annual election of a club sweetheart. The coed selected for this honor must be pretty and sen- sible, efficient and likeable (sounds like an angel in disguise).

P i -Med Have YOU ever wondered what the levator capxdo.e. centalis is? Did you ever tour the morgue? Such are the problems included among the various activities of the Pre-Medical Club, sponsored by Mr. H. C. Nelson and Mr. Samuel Howe. All students interested in a med- ical career are eligible to join this club. As a method of determining their potentialities in the field of medicine, the members were given a Medical Aptitude test this last semester. Tours, discussions, and social activities filled the program of the club. A tour was made to see the medical exhibits at the Rosenwald Museum, and a picnic was held late in May. The officers during the fall se- mester were Warren Klopsch, pres- ident; Michael Ihnchak, vice-presi- dent; Margaret Oates, secretary; Walter Erikson, treasurer; and Robert Hughes, Club Board dele- gate. During the spring semester the president and secretary re- mained the same. Irving Miller became vice-president; Harmon Fortar, treasurer; and Betty Cohen, Club Board representative.

SUj HXi lieia Pi Sigma Beta Pi, an honorary sci- ence organization, is one of the few Wilson clubs which restricts its membership. On the basis of scholastic ability, members are se- lected from students enrolled in the science laboratory courses. One must have at least a B average to be chosen to participate in the activities of the club. Dr. Jesse Schuett and Dr. James Parsons, heads of the Biological and Physical Science Departments respectively, are co-sponsors of the club. The officers are Howard Tanner, president; Michael Ihn- chak, vice-president; Jean Hart- wick, secretary; and Russell Ol- son, treasurer. Charles Churchill is Club Board delegate. The organization aims to pro- mote interest in advanced scien- tific work. As a means of accom- plishing their purpose, members of the club give short talks on spe- cialized subjects at the meetings. Movies of industry and science are also shown as often as possible. In this way other students are also encouraged to work in the field of science.

Social Soie4 ce The Social Scien ce Club, spon- sored by Mr. Elmer Kennedy, has enabled students majoring in the social sciences to discuss common problems. The t wo principal events last year were a joint meet- ing with the International Rela- tions Club, which drew a hundred students to hear Dr. Walter Laves of the University of Chicago speak on the present war, and the poll of Wilson students on the presiden- tial election, which resulted in a two-lo-one victory for President Roosevelt, an approximation of the actual election results. This organization does not have the conventional offices, which, it is felt, would not conform to its needs. Instead, five commissioners and a Club Board delegate are elected. In the fall semester Myron Rush presided while the other commis- sioners were Joseph Hamburger, Louis Levin, Patricia McChesney, Morton Zeman, and James Bali- noff. In the spring semester, Jo- seph Hamburger was chairman while Joseph Adler, Jack Rabin, Max Gendler, Paul Letter, Mary Kamberos, and Fern Johnson filled the other offices. SEATED: Sara Aronberq, Patricia Hughes, Miss C. O ' Reilly, Harold Furda, Margaret Shiu, Dorelha Parkins, lean lohnson, secretary; Lawrence Doyle, treasurer; Elizabetii Tohnson, vice-president, Elaine Cohn.

Studesii SenxUe They page the Marines for ac- tion out on the West coast, but at Wilson they call out the Student Senate. Under the guidance of Miss Claire O ' Reilly, twenty-three senators, consisting of five from each class, and three from the Club Board, hold their business meetings with George Dahlin as president; Elizabeth Johnson, vice- president; Jean Johnson, secretary; and Lawrence Doyle, treasurer. These Wilson senators, who must have a high scholastic aver- age, are elected by popular vote at the beginning of each semester. The theme of the Student Senate is to promote the general welfare of the school and to endeavor to im- prove its college life, both from a social and an academic stand- point. The fall cabinet included Sam Maragos as president; Elizabeth Johnson, vice-president; Alice Car- roll, secretary; and George Dahlin, treasurer. The Senate, among other accomplishments, has made possible the 1941 Profile, has es- tablished a successful Book Ex- change, and has undertaken the supervision of the Co-Recreational Lounge. 83
