Y Financial ToBe Rals Stokes Davis, 1939 Euphradian Proxy, Inaugurated Tuesday New Chosen President Praises Founders Of Historic Literary Group Approximately ore hundred mem bers and visitors packed the historic hall of the Euphradian Literary so ciety to capacity Tuesday night for the annual social affair and witness the inauguration of the society's new president, Stokes Davis. While refreshments were served, short talks were made by some of the leading members of the society. Charles Gibbes spoke on the activi ties of the debating council. Sev eral past presidents of the society were also called upon to speak. Then President Davis delivered his inaugural address. After expressing his "profound and heartfelt appreci ation" to the body for the honor con ferred upon him, he paid tribute to the founders of the historic 134 year old Euphradian literary society. He then stressed the importance of our generation keeping the torches of truth and liberty forever burning. He urged the members to join the crusade being organized to crush "the insidious infiltrations into our eco nomic and social order of agents rep resenting foreign isms and sent here by foreign leaders, who with maniacal minds and gangrened hearts would harness upon the American people the oppressive and unbearable yoke of fascism and communism." Other new officers for the semester are Lee Baker, vice-president; Sol Blatt, Jr., secretary; and Bernie Bass, treasurer. The query to be debated next Tues day night is: Resolved, that the U. S. Congress should repeal the present embargo act. President Davis ap pointed Heyward Belser and Tom McCutcheon to lead the affirmative and Lee Baker and Vivyan Morse to lead the negative. The first initiations of the semes ter will take place next meeting. Figures Prove Boys Smarter Than Coeds More Men Than Girls Make USC Honor Rolls In figures released recently, it was found that freshmen and soph omore boys were a wee bit smarter than the co-eds of the same classes.

Chase, show that a dozen more boys made the sophomore roll than girls, and on the freshman list there ,were 21 more men than women. In both classes the school of Arts and Sciences led the lists of honor students with the Com merce department a close second. Following is the list of both Honor rolls: Sophomores: Samuel Bernard Bass, Ada Williams Beach, Cuss Belissary, Anne Gordon Belser, Sol omon Blatt, Jr., Marvin Pearce Bus bee, Andrew Crawford Clarkson, Jr., Jane Clarkson, Henry Hennig Cohen, Malcolm Ulrich Dantzler, James William Davis, Lillian Inez Dowling, Harold Ellsworth Dun lap, Jack Griffin Faucett, Carl W.

First Swim Team,Formed 10 Years Ago Old Garnet And Black Story Of Last Week Disclaims Gamecock In the last issue of The Gamecock there was a story to the effect that Carolina would be represented this year by its first swimming team. Since then it has been discovered in a dustcovered "Garnet and Black" that the Gamecocks of 1929 also liked 1 water. The '29 edition of web-footed Gamecocks, although it later lost a I return meet to Clemson, actually ac- 1 complished the now almost unheard I of feat of licking the Tigers. That ( was back in the good old days when the Bird had long spurs, Clemson was just a tame kitten and Furman's Purple Hurricane was merely an ex aggerated whirlwind. Carolina's first tank team was com posed of Captain John Sholenberger, now connected with the Columbia Y. M. C. A.; Billy Bull, also with the Y; William Elliott, Jr., a law yer in Beaufort; J. H. Fowles, engi neer for the State Planning board; Pratt Gasque, real estate and insur ance agent in Marion; Bland Ham mond, Charleston Attorney; Jim Ver ner, Darlington attorney, and Ed ward Pritchard, Charleston attorney. As there was then no W. P. A., and consequently no swimming pool at Carolina, the \Water Birds had to use the Columbia Y. M. C. A. nata torium. It was because of this lack of a suital)le place in which to take work-outs and entertain visiting teams that the swimming team was . not continued.
