Each Monday throughout the year, the council met to transact its busi- ness. To meet the expenses of the council, a program of three one- act plays directed by Miss Stieler, Miss Krauss, and Mr. Herda was pre- ented.

1936 X1AN 1936 U X T. Ording E. Helseth CX Spensley Class Advisers As the class of 1936 is about to be graduated, we pause to pay tribute to those members of the faculty, the senior advisers, who have been especially prominent in making our high school careers three years of happiness and success. As director of dramatics for our class plays, Mrs. Partridge Presents and Arms and the Man, and likewise as coach of declamatory Work, Miss Evangeline Helseth has contributed much time and effort towards making these activities successful undertakings for many of the seniors. E. Theodore Ording, acting in his capacity as chief financial adviser for the senior class, has done much to aid the class in solving its financial problems as well as serving as faculty adviser for the junior-sen- ior prom. Mr. Ording has also coached the girls' interclass basketball teams during the past three years. Although Miss Carol Spensley has been a member of the facul- ty for only a year, she has been very active in supervising senior activi- ties. Miss Spensley has served as class adviser for the G. A. A., coach for girls' home room basketball, and as business adviser for the senior class play. Also deserving of credit are Miss Martha Beck and Miss Lou- ise Bennion, former members of the faculty who acted as advisers for the class during the sophomore and junior years. F0111
