STUDENT COUNCIL Front row: Edith Blough, Ruth Roop, secretary; Jeanne Kendall, John Hickman, Maxine Heath, Robert Zigler, Merlin Eikenberry. Back row: Vernon Stinebaugh, Inez Goughnor, Wilbur Eiken- berry, vice-president; Gene Gulp, treasurer; Beth Flora, James Fol- tenger, Hubert Cordier, president; Edwin Keller. 9:00 — Student council comes to order (unless the fourth quarter of the important pillow fight of the season is still in progress); 9:05 — furtive glances at watches; 9:08 — he ' s not here yet; 9:10 — he ' s late! — another five cent fine for the swimming party. Or maybe he won ' t come at all — better yet — a dime! But those fifteen august members of student coun- cil do accomplish things; they have their serious moments. (Sometimes Dean Holl sits in on the meetings.) Compared with the existence of Manchester College, the student government would seem very young. This year marks its fourteenth birthday. And this year ' s student council is meeting — and solving — many of the same problems which the original fifteen members did in 1925. How does it happen that the Homecoming events move off as they should? Why were we so lucky as to have the Shakespearean players on our campus? How are arrangements made for all-school banquets? What makes May Day such a success? Who gives the girls a break on breakaway ? — Ask the student council!! Page twenty-two

Early in the spring of 193 8 the student body cast its vote for the person who was to lead them through the school year of 193 8-39. Filling all expectations, Hubert Doc Cordier stepped into this most responsible position climaxing a success- ful college career. Having capably headed his class during the freshman and sophomore years, Doc Cordier was the logical choice for student prexy. Back in the 1936 Aurora we can see him perched on the arm of a chair helping to solve some of the weighty problems which confronted the student council then. Most any Monday night this year you could have found him similarly occupied. Hubert limited himself to no one field of activities. As football player and captain he was perhaps most widely known and admired. In drama, debate, oratory, Aurora staff, Rhetoria and many other campus organizations equal success was his. Outstanding among his triumphs as student pr esident was the all-school outing at Camp Mack. Remember? Listed in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges we find his name both in 193 8 and 1939. In other words he ' s just an all-round fellow. Why! at the breakaway banquet he even broke loose and went musical. STUDENT PRESIDENT HUBERT CORDIER

Blokewood Hall just isn ' t the same old place this year — with both Pappy ShuU and Bert Plew away! But life seems to move on as smoothly as ever with the new supervisors of the dorm. President Eikenberry reports that he is well pleased with the responsibility his eleven stalwart co-workers have taken. One of these days before long will be Blokewood ' s night out — a skating party and no ladies allowed! The upperclass fellows returning last fall saw the barn slightly rejuvenated, but nevertheless easily recognized as the same old place. The new buzzer system is an especially valu- able addition. ( Amen! — says Betty.) Anyhow, girls — by the touch of a hand a whole dormitory full of men are available! (These modern developments — what wonders they accomplish!) Another improvement — new fuse boxes controlling only a small portion of the hall. Thought in passing — what can the new dormitory pasti me be?
