Student ounci The student Council is that student-governins body of the school that has remained so silent (so very silent) concerning its actions on making the college a better place to spend our leisure time . But since there isn ' t much bettering to be done, could we expect them to be so dreadfully active — definetely no. Each semester three members from each class are elected to serve for one semester. These, to- gether with the class president and the student president, compose the membership. The presi- dent of the Sophomore class presides while the president of the Freshmen class acts as secretary. The council ' s power is mostly that of recom- mendation, having little legislative authority — some ironical person would probably say none. However the council has passed on a great many of school problems, and on other plans for the betterment of the school. One of the outstanding plans which the council has taken up had to do with the building up of better school spirit. The council had a committee study this problem. The recommend ations from this committee set forth that better school spirit could be accomplished through the cooperation of all organizations and the school paper, as well as the individuals in the school. For the first semester these were the members of the council: Dorothea Bear, John Stackley, and Frank Ellis represented the sophomore class,- while Gordon Cary, Caroline Lindenbaum, and Bill Rice represented the freshmen. Dick Hudson acted as presiding officer and Bob Steiger as secretary. The second semester membership was changed to the following: Kenneth Secrist, Marjorie Gibson, and June Speechly representing the Sophomores, while Smitty Baker, Clarence Borger, amd Dorothy McCully represented the Freshmen. Gerald Groves acted as president, while Clarence Borger acted as secretary. Howard Belew was elected Student President at the beginning of the schoool year. The duties of this office are to represent the school at any time, and to serve as toastmaster at the spring banquet. For advice on troubling situations and problems the council resorted to their sponsors, Miss Beuchat, Dean Walker, and Mr. Shumway. Back row: J. Stackley, M- Baker, D. Hudson, H. Belew, G. Cary, J. Borger, B. Steiger, F. Ellis, C. Borger. Front row: K. Secrist, D. McCully, C. Lindenbaum, G. Groves, M. G ' bson, J. Speechly, Miss Beuchat, sponsor.

uco racu Dean Walker guides Juco along her course with his noted quiet efficiency, ' n his Methods classes aspiring teachers learn how to administer the proper punish- ment to develish youngsters. H. A. Shumway, hired to teach the social sciences gives many a would-be business man his first dose of economics and business administration, and besides, all his classes are drilled thoroughly in counting off by two s. Students desiring to know the baffling intricacies of higher mathe- matics enroll under the accurate tutelage of Miss Wrestler. Mr. Dick combines good hard work with dry humor to make his physics class as enjoyable as possible. English and lessons in publishing an annual are given by Miss Milford. All freshmen pass through her classes and some come back for more. Students learn to appreciate literature and the stage under the genial guidance of Mr. Nixon. Why!, a play just wouldn ' t be a play without Mr. Nixon ' s direction. He teaches amateurish actors how to please audiences. Languages are taught by Miss Beuchat, who can speak sweetly even if we can ' t all understand her. The fascinating insides of bugs and plants dre laid bare by Miss Hutchinson in her zoology and botany classes. Who can ever forget her pleasing disposition in class, her patience in receiving late botany notebooks, and her kindness toward those who are a few minutes late to class? Even-tempered Mr. Coffman teaches the subject that is called chemistry by some, but something entirely different by those who have studied it. Mr. Mossman ' s history classes are noted for the rapt attention of the students — especially the feminine students. In his geology classes Mr. Choate teaches students to call unoffending little rocks by names we ' re sure they would resent if they were in a resentful mood. Miss Dail is the one teacher in school who gives minors and majors in one class. — Public School Music.

Gri nzz row COLLEGE ANNUAL Early in the fall a vote taken by the student body showed a large majority in favor of publishing an annual. In November, therefore, the College Student Coun- cil chose Max Nixon for editor-in-chief of the Grizzly Crowl. In addition to capable and careful editing Max has done all of the art work for this book in his usual inspired manner. At the same time the council appointed Ruth Creswell as assistant editor and Frank Ellis as business mamager. Pe.ggy Smith ond Harley Holecek were selected lat er. Miss Milford was the sponsor. Other teachers and students whose contributions have helped to make this annual a success are Dean Walker, Keith Allen, June Speechly, John Stackley, Dick Hudson, Danny ' Lewis, Janet Courtright, Virgil Tyler, Wayne Tarman, Maxine Walker, Howard Belew,, Marjorie Neumann, Mildred Hughes, Mr. Mossman, ' Smitty Baker, and Gordon Davis. After looking at the many fine annuals which have been published before, the members of the Annual Staff felt that they must work with all their might to have a book which could be termed a little better than the average. Regardless of the handicap of our crowded condition, E.J.C. has had a won- derful year. We have had our ups and downs; our bad days and our good; we have succeeded, and at times we have failed; never-the-less we can surely say that this year has been one of the most successful years for E.J.C. When viewed in retrospect the past nine months present a pleasing picture of well rounded student achievement, and it is this picture which the annual staff has tried to preserve for you. — P.S. M. Nixon, F. Ellis, R. Creswell, H. Holecheck, P. Smith
