Student Treasurers HE faculty feels that it is the duty 1 the school to provide experience in the earning, safe-keeping, and spend- ing of money. Іп keeping with this poli- cy, the finances of all extra-curricular activities have been placed in the hands of fifteen student treasurers. Selected bv election and appointment, this group Includes the treasurers of the Student Council, Hi-Y, Girl Reserve, Dramatic Club, the instrumental and vo- cal music groups and various other or- vanizations. Responsible to a faculty member, Keith DeLashmutt, who is the general treasurer, these students handle an ay- erage of $10,000 a year for the organiza- tions which they represent. All the money for extra-curricular ac- tivities is kept in one bank account, and the various activities draw on this ac- count and deposit their receipts through the general treasurer. Duplicate eash books, showing EVEry transaction, are kept for each activity by the general treasurer and the respective student treasurers. Withdrawals are made 1n the form of checks written by the gen- eral treasurer. An organization may se- cure a check by presenting to him a req- uisition signed by the student treasurer, the aetivity 's sponsor, and the principal. Receipts are handled in a like manner. Largest volume of money on the gen- eral treasurer's books is in the form of the various athletic funds, since all gate receipts and expenditures for equip- ment are handled through him. During the past year Patty Soreghan and Ruth Miller have assisted Mr. De Lashmutt in the more functional phases of his work. The group is not knit into a formal organization. Rather, each individual carries on im his own sphere, guided by his sponsor and the general treasurer. Meetings are held only when special in- struetions are needed. l'age nineteen

M. C. À. camp near boone. Leaving the school building at 8:30 a. m., the class was transported to the camp, practically “en masse, by buses. besides eating the generous and appetizing supply of food which would satisfy any hearty appetite, the group participated in informal games and dancing. Senior Varieties were pre- sented at 4:00, making a big hit with everyone. ‘The group left the camp at 2:00 p. m. to return home. The Senate also helped seleet the an- Page twenty nual senior class play, “The Kind Lady, which financed Senior Week. It proved to be as great a success as any of those in the preceding vears. Both the well-chosen cast and the large audience enjoyed it tremendously. Each senior Was expected to sell five play tickets. Ten cents from each ticket went toward his personal contribution toward Senior Week activities. For each ticket not sold, he personally contributed ten cents. Another duty of the Senate Is to de- cide 1f there are to be апу elass eolors or a Glass flower. both of these customs were dropped last year.
