icete • • • Hon C owii The duty of a student council is not to promote a skip day every week, or to do away with finals, or to insure every student a B average. Its duties are rather to make decisions in regard to certain school policies and to establish a social plan for the entertainment of the students. This year the student council has tried to determine policies wisely and to give the students entertainment that would not infringe on their curricular activities. • For the first time in a number of years the men outnumbered the women three to one. This fact made the girls happy, but it created a serious problem for dance committees. A percentage larger than any in the history of the school composed the group of those married and en- gaged. Besides these facts, the total enrollment was nearly three times that of the war years. Is it any wonder that the faces of student council members so often wore that worried look ? Despite many difficulties the student council deserves much credit for its ceaseless efforts in trying to please every student in providing school social affairs. In so doing, it has fulfilled well and faithfully its duty to the student body. First row, left to right: Mr. Omer, Fowler, Jack, Locke, Evans, Dean Shumway. Second row: Stansbury, Varner, May, Oliver, Dugan. Third row: Mitchell, Reep, Bowyer, Harris, Gates, Vestring.

KeconOeteion Jo Collecje i-(jU The return to civvies meant a return to the classroom for many of our ex-G. I. ' s. The same young men who, only a short time ago, were attacking enemy strongholds, are now attacking their textbooks with no less determination. As these pictures show, El Dorado Junior College has its share of these young men who are now arming themselves with an education in order to meet the trials of peace as well as they met the trials of war. 7
