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.

fc omoies Tom Dugan President Dawson Bressie Vice-President Charles Fullinwider, Secretary-Treasurer Graduation day is always a day to remember. We, the Sophomore Class of 1948, will always cherish the pleasures we had while attending El-Juco, as we affectionately called El Dorado Junior College. The Sophomore Class, under the direction of its officers, Tom Dugan (president), Dawson Bressie (vice-president) and Charles Fullin- wider (secretary-treasurer) cannot be cited especially for the number of events sponsored. The class will be remembered, however, for the whole- sale enthusiasm and general efficiency which marked its activities. Late last year, while we were still freshmen, we enjoyed a spring picnic. This fall, to welcome the incoming freshmen, we set aside a day for their initiation, which culminated in a dance that evening. These were our contributions to the social life of the school. We truly regret that El Dorado Junior College will not be our Alma Mater next f ll, but pleasant memories of Juco will go with us throughout our lives.
