Juco is very fortunate in securing - able and experienced men to direct its educational program. Our Dean, Max Bickford, who has been faced with the task of making a success of his first year in Juco, is experienced in both teaching and supervising. Before becoming Dean of El Dorado Juco, Mr. Bickford taught in Denison Rural High School and in Enterprise High School. He was Superintendent of the Towanda Schools and later of the Douglass Schools, and he was Supervising Principal of the El Dorado Elementary Schools last year. He received his B. S. and M. S. from Kansas State C ollege at Manhattan. Dean Bickford, well liked by faculty and students for his capable administration and ready participation in all school activities, has indeed succeeded in making his first year in Juco a success- ful one. Superintendent Hughes, whose twenty-two years of service in El Dorado have made him a familiar and well-liked personality, also had ex- tensive experience before coming to our school system. In Fort Scott he was, successively, high school teacher, elementary school principal, and high school principal. He was Superintendent of Schools in Chanute and Principal of the Junior-Senior High School in Independence. He holds the following degrees: B. A. from Washburn College, M. A. from Pitts- burg State Teachers College, and Doctor of Humane Letters from Wash- burn College.

The will of the student body expresses itself through the student council ; therefore, it is the duty of the student council to carry out, whenever possible, the wishes of the students. The council is not a governing body. Rather, it is a group of students who make the decisions regarding certain school policies and who plan the numerous social events of the year. This year the men again greatly outnumbered the women. Again a large number of the students were married. These facts caused many headaches to the members of the dance committees. In spite of such problems, however, the dances were enjoyed by those who attended them. The leap year dance during WPA Week was especially successful, furnish- ing the women the opportunity to be the aggressors for a change, and giving the men ' s pocketbooks a welcome relief. Although the social events were important, they did not constitute the only problem faced by the student council. In making each decision, the members tried to carry out the wishes of the majority of the students. The members of the student council deserve much credit for the time and energy which they freely spent in behalf of the student body.
