THE JUNIOR SENATE Under the able supervision of Mrs. Ashley, the junior Senate undertook several activities which have accounted for a very active season. At the opening of the school year, the following officers were elected: C. A. Mitts, president, Bruce Seeley, vice- presidentg Marley Ederle, secretaryg and Alan Par- doe, treasurer. Representatives were: Sheryl Stod- dard, Laurie Dooge, Sara Whinery, Irving Weiner, Mary Kindel, Mort Olds, ,loan Gardner, Tom Mer- icle, Brayton Deane, Sally Grant, Dave McLaughlin, and Robin Mc Reynolds. At meetings, they discussed and made plans for coming events. This year, they made out cards for hours of duty, that is, everyone in the seventh and eighth grades who helped his mother and father or other children, put down the hours he spent. At the end of the school year, there was a reward for the person with the TDOSI hours of work. The next serv- ice project was the March of Dimes. They posted ,lunior Senate representatives in the halls at noon to act as bankers of the donations for the crippled children. And last, the best of all, were the social gather- ings, such as the old clothes party which takes place every year. The decorations for the gym were taken from Little Abner, not leaving out Salome Music was furnished by the popular juke box. With the proceeds from the parties, they are going to buy a trophy case for the outside of the boys' gym. They have had a very amusing and busy year. The ,lunior Senate appreciates Mrs. Ashley's help and understanding throughout the year. -.. -...-

STUDE T The East Grand Rapids Student Council started the i945-46 school year with the election of officers. Frank Ederle had previously been elected president, Bill Kopp was chosen vice-presidentg -lim Henry, treasurerg and Harriet l-lerz, secretary. The remain- der of the Council is made up of representatives from the senior high, grades 9 through IZ, and from the various school clubs. Several projects which the Council has taken over during the year are the management of the book- store, the organization of the Senior Mixer, the super- vision of the Club Coed programs, the selling of re- freshments at basketball and football games, the lightening of homework on club nights, and the dis- tribution of tests during the week. Also, the super- vision of the Open House, the formation of Theta Pi Eta, the management of the parking lot, aid in the CQUNCIL tuberculin tests, the Christmas assembly and decora- tion of the tree, and the sponsoring of an after-game meeting of the East and opposing basketball teams for refreshments and discussion of the game. Other subjects on which the Council has been working are the printing of a handbook for new students, in which the plan, rules, traditions, and organizations of the school are explained to the neo- phytesg the promotion of school-club dances outside the schoolg and the choosing of a present for the general enjoyment and benefit of the student body. These various projects combine to reveal the pur- pose of the Student Council at East, which is to rep- resent and serve the students in every possible way, and create a closer understanding between the stu- dent and the teacher.

HARLEQUIN CLUB The Harlequin Cflub began the year with the initi- ation of twelve new members, who entertained the club with impersonations of East's faculty.
