STUDENT COUNCIL THE LITTLE NEW DEAL » » » » At various elections the constituents of classes and organizations elected for members of the El Dorado Junior College Student Council these Honorables: Bertha Joy Bag- gett, James Baker, Earl Buck, Roy Cartee, Lloyd Foster, Wilma Jean Grant, Wilbur Harms, Lois Harsh, Bob Hower, Maryalyce King, Richard Kellar, Milton Larsen, Marion Lasater, Moyne Lichlyter, Jodie Lowrance, Kenneth McCaffree, Nellie Mae Nicholas, John Pettis, Wilma Powers, Harris Robison, and Grant Salisbury. A split of the Student Body into factions caused the election of President Frank Eaton, who became ex officio president of the Student Council. For the Brain Trust Dean Walker and Professors Beuchat and Shumway were selected. And so it was with this set up (or up set) that Little New Deal put its Administrative and Legis- lative Program into effect. First on the list was the election of Pauline Heymann and Bonita Lewis as Editor and Associate Editor of the annual, Grizzly Growl . Wide appointive powers were vested in the presiding officer so he immediately gave us the A.P.C., S.M.C., and C.S.D., which to the constituent mean, respectively : Assem- bly Program Committees, Social Mixer Com- mittees, and Committee on School Dances. Then came the band uniforms and a bill for the cost. Rather than raise taxes, the Coun- cil asked for appropriations from the organ- izations and as a result a tidy sum was contributed to the cause. This act later received praise from critics and members of the Little New Deal. Other activities of the L. N. D. included the resolution, That only freshmen and sophomores passing in ten hours of college work be eligible for office , work on an of- ficial seal for the College, and the granting of scholarships to outstanding seniors. There you have some of the accomplish- ments. As a critic a Brain Truster stated that the Council had acted efficiently not spectacularly, and was somewhat the victim of circumstances. Others said that the Coun- cil accomplished nothing; that it lacked sup- port; that it acted inefficiently. Not one accused it of spending too much money, a phenomenon, today. The question is Did it serve its purpose, which was to assist in the administration and oil the creaking cogs of college life? We leave it to you. — Frank Eaton.

CAMERA AT SCHOOL » » » » . . White elephants were collected for days and days to add more thrills to the noisy carnival which was a huge success in spite of drifting snow . . . Circumstances were reversed at the grudge booth at the carnival where students knocked the teachers around . . . Mad chemist Newacheck and stooge Hower almost turned a peaceful amateur night into a riot . . . The smiles at the top of the page belie the fact that Corman and Darling were waiting for each other to pass on so the other could collect. Miss Beuchat, genial language teacher, also was the Morgenthau of school finance . . . The V.F. W. and auxiliary flag and flag pole added a patriotic touch to the school grounds . . . Mr. Coffman poured over his books trying to think of harder questions to ask his chemistry classes . . . Lights, shadows, and angles turned out to be a picture of the northwest roof of the school buildings . . . Just as in school, so in the pictures Superintendent Hughes cast a friendly but watchful eye over the scene. — Doris Winzer.

GOLD DIGGERS Listen, dear readers, and you shall hear, The story of Gold Diggers for another year. ' Twas the month of September in ' 37 When our beloved Juco set the date Of another siege of not being late . Now the building was new, and some students too, So to get into the swing, we started the thing Known as the girls ' pep club, Gold Diggers, to you! First came our Pres. — Kate Ruth by name. And Mary E. Corman who recorded our fame. Eleanor Ellis kept our books O. K. Miss Beuchat held advisor ' s sway . Maryalyce King tried to keep us in step, And Corman and Payton lent us their pep. To gain membership was a crowning achievement, And donations to the cups provided bereavement To all students who were approached in the hall, For into these cups thirty items did fall. The pep at the games really did us up proud , And our cheers were a treat to team and crowd. Our marching and antics, carried on at the half Always provided some with a laugh. And, since our girls could always eat, The covered dish dinners were a pleasant treat. The meetings on Thursdays, so well attended, The most fastidious could not have offended. Just what good we have done, is for you to decide, But we ' re certain we have no evil deeds to hide. The Gold Diggers, this year, have been plenty swell. I hope future years can do just as well. -Maryalyce King. El Dorado J!!! El Dorado J!!! El Dorado Junior College ! Wow !
