STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS President Edward Hayes Vice President Allen Cohen Secretary Chester Petkiewicz Treasurer Albert O ' Heir The Student Council is the student government, and is also the coordinator and administrator of stu- dent activities. During the past year, Lowell Techno- logical Institute has undergone a drastic revitalization as far as the student is concerned. There has been a remarkable increase in what is termed school spirit. The freshman hazing program, which has been decadent for the past few years, was revived and con- ducted in a fashionable manner. The Student Council, in conjunction with the Tech Orientation Committee, revived other traditions here at Tech as a result of the hazing program. A field day was held on October 27, at which time competitive sports between the fresh- men and upperclassmen were held to determine the final day of hazing. The Tech Banquet, also decadent for the past few years, was held at the termination of the field day and it proved to be a successful affair. Lowell Tech has at long last found an Alma Mater which will help instill a sense of belonging to all the students. In order to have a successful Alma Mater, it must be sung, and at all the major functions during the year, the Alma Mater was played. A proposal which was brought up during the past year was that of having class rings rather than the Alumni rings which are being used now. It appears that it will be a welcome change for graduating stu- dents to be designated as members of a specific class in addition to being recognized as Alumni. The class rings would serve this purpose. The All-Tech Formal Weekend, which is a major highlight of the year, was held during the latter part of February. The music for this affair was provided by Claude Thornhill. The IFC ' s carnival, the basketball game, and the jazz band were responsible for provid- ing LTI with a perfect weekend. The Council, during the year, also had its attention focused elsewhere in an attempt to alleviate some of the existing situations. Parking always seems to pre- sent its problems; however, the Council was successful in setting up a parking lot for students. Another issue 25
