Characteristic of the departure of the new

Two new committees and an
amendment to the constitution will
be presented for the approval of
the membership. The ability of

Elect Freshman
New President
OfAg4-HClnb
Gale Erlywine was elected presi
dent of the University 4-H club at
their meeting Tuesday night. Gala
is the first freshman ever to be
elected president of an Ag club.
Virginia Smith was elected vice
president and Doris Bamsberger,
secretary and Edith Pumphery

Whether the club will be able
to exist during the coming year

doubted, but it is hoped that by
electing a freshman as president
that the club may be easily per
petuated after the war.
