Johnson, advisor, and Mary Holman, edit- or, preserved a happy medium. This year's newshounds, Mary Nolen, Claire Edwards, Betty Lester, Kathleen Pfisterer, Dorothy Nodler, Gilbert Brew- er, Ione Hughes, Robert Gillock, and Glen Montague hounded those important per- sons who managed to be everywhere at once but nowhere to be found.

This so-- ciety holds meetings twice a month in the printing room, located in the junior high building. At these meetings subjects re- lated to some phase of printing are dis- cussed. Eligibility to this club is dependent up- on the studentls ability, as only those making a B or above may become mem- bers. Two of the major activities of this or- ganization are the Pica Printing banquet. The Pica is a four page paper printed and edited by the .printing department. The banquet, open to all interested in print- aAnnualeers', PAGE The bigger and better mirror this year was made possible through the new ac- tivity ticket. Last year the Ark Light and Mirror were both sold for one dollar, but this year they cost about nine cents each. The activity ticket provided the money for the annual, but the Mirror staff pro- vided the material. The interesting and amusing snapshots were taken by Jack Stover and Dick Curtis. Charles Darby and Ted Miller have spent the wee hours of the morning pasting pictures in the Mirror and the mirror staff wrote reams and reams. Gladys-.Hopkins tried to keep the fi- nancial end' of the annual correct but she has almost as difficult a time as Claire Edwards, editor, had getting her notices presented no obstacles to Bob Wilson, sports editor, and Howard Engle- man, sports writer. Bob dribbled in the copy and Howard nonchalantly tossed it in the basket. You'll miss seeing George Pitts, busi- ness manager, Jack Maze, advertising manager, Bette Hamilton, Bill Howard, and John Warren, ad soliciters, bustling around like big town guys. The cubs, Jayne Krammes, Martin Myers, Ted Miller, Josephine Burton, Max Brown, and Juanita Harder, will in- herit not only trials and tribulations from the staff, but also the presidency of the K.

The main feature of the banquet was speeches by people intimately con- nected with printing. Officers of the society are Jack Maze, presidentg Larnard Baker, vice-president, Leon Scott, secretary and treasurer, and George Pitts and Paul Marshall, co-edit- ors of the Pica.

l' l l ln Tufts lwviliic Stover Rnlicrl Student Council The Student Council is essential for the welfare of the student body. The purpose of this organization is to rep- resent the interests of the entire student body and the faculty of the school in order that there will be a closer co- operation between the students and the faculty. The membership consists of a presi- dent, elected by the student body in the fall, the principal of the high school, two faculty members, and one represent- ative from each of the three classes, from each conference group, and from the Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Honor Society, Cashiers' Cub, Sport Light Club, Pep Club, Ark Light, Mirror, and the Junior Patrol. The duties of the Student Council are to elect the head cheer leader and the first and second assistants, members of the junior patrol, student representative to the Athletic Board, and the assembly program committee. John Shea was elect- ed head cheer leader with Minerva Quinn, first assistant, and Lula Mae Haines, second assistant. Keith Curfman Cashiers' Club PAGE The Cashiers Club is one of the im- portant organizations of the school. Very few people hear about or recognize the results that are produced by this club. The club meets every Monday in the high school library under the direction of Miss Alice Carrow, librarian. The club membership is made up of the head cashier, assistant cashier and the conference cashiers and their assis- tants. The conference cashiers are elected at the first of the year by their confer- ences. They hold their offices for the entire year, unless for some reason it seems advisable to select another. The of the assistant cashier is elected out junior class at the beginning of the second semester by the members of the club. His duty is to head the cashiers the following year. The object of the club is to promote thrift 44 while in school. Then as an indi- was chosen as student repre:entative to the Athletic Board. One representative from each class is chosen for the assem- bly program committee Glen Montague was elected senior representative, Bruce Edwards, junior, and Bob Lindemood, sophomore. The Student Council received an in- vitation from the Student Council of Ok- lahoma to send representatives to attend its meeting in Ponca City. Delegates from high schools in Oklahoma ard the surrounding states met to discuss meth- ods of student goverments to gain new ideas which they could apply on their own councils. Glen Montague, Bette Ham- ilton, and Miss Edna Wheatley attended the meeting. The oHicers of the Student Council are Lawrence Pipkin, president, John Tufts, president pro-tem, and Marjo ie Crill, secretary-treasurer. The president pro-tem and secretary-treasurer are e- lected by the council from its member- ship.

Banking con- tests among the conferences are a popu- lar method used to encourage banking. Rather than improving since the years of depression, the bank'ng percentage has been lowered. Perhaps one factor that brought this about has been the activity ticket, introduced this year. Many students have considered the activity ticket as one form of savings and have put their money ino this rather than in the school savings ac- count. Mrs. Harriet Winkleman, representa- tive of Thrift, Incorporated, following her visit to Arkansas City Schools made this statement: This is one of the best high schools for banking work in the U. S. A. This is a record that every stud- ent should be proud of and should help maintain.
