As students how do you feel about those activities that inn e been sponsored so far this year? Tlie student council, your chosen representatives, irate spent a great deal ot time concerning this and simHar questions. Perhaps there is no problem more difficult than trying to satisfy the wants of varied groups and individuals. Yet there seems to be ery little comment or voiced opinion around the campus concerning social activities and other school functions that have been sponsored so far tills year. I personally would like to express appreciation for the sociability committee and the fine job that they have done up to date. Those of us who have attended tile dances sponsored by the sociability committee can surely see the results chairman Joyce Christian and her committee have done in presenting the functions which they have been in charge of this year. It is not always a simple task to arrange and provide activities that can be and are appealing to everyone at the same time. It Is Just as large a task also to discover what it is that the students want. Abraham Lincoln once said, "What I want is to get done what the people desire to hae done, and t lie question for me is how to find tiiat out exactly." There is similarity in Lincoln's statement and problems facing the student council this year We are eager to enact and provide the things that the students desire in as much as they are feasible. But we too are confronted with the problem of not knowing what it is you feel could and should he provided for. The school activities are each individual students if you have comments to make. let's hear them now! Charles Crosby .

Volume III, THE GRAND ALLIANCE, tells "How the British fought on with Hardship their Garment until Soviet Russia and the United States were drawn into the Great Conflict. In volume IV, THE HINGE OF FATE, the theme is "How the power of the Grand Alliance became preponderant." For volume V, CLOSING THE RING, the theme is "How Nazi Germany was Isolated and on All Sides. Volume VI, TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY, closes the set by . telling "How the Great Democracies Triumphed, and so Were able to Resume the Follies Which had so Nearly Cost Them Their Life." Orville Prescott, in the New York Times, said of the books: "Tins is history as only Mr. Churchill can write it, personal and proud, judicious and illuminated by his long historical perspective, rich with the grandest and most stately prose written in our time. Other comments are: "Few books belong in the category or great events, and this is one of them. Few hooks make history in the sense that the epoch they depict will always live as they saw it. These are just such books." (Anne O'Hare McCormick, in The New York Times Book Review) Tlie story of one of the tremendous turning points of world history, told by a great master of English prose who was himself the leader, the commander, tlie very heart and soul of the struggle this makes a book in literascarcely paralleled ture."
