The student council is a representative group instituted to perform a two-fold function: To express the will of the students, in an intermediary capacity, and to adjust the students ' problems through mediation This governing body consists of a Women ' s Council and a Men ' s Coun- cil. The Women ' s Council, composed of eleven members, is elected solely by the women of the institution. The scope of its jurisdiction is restricted to the problems of North Hall, the women ' s dormitory. Although its duties are multitudinous in number, its primary job is to work in conjunction with the Dean of Women. It is their duty to lay down and enforce regula- tions directing the social and academic activities of the girls. The Men ' s Council, on the other hand, is comprised of nine members and is occupied with the responsibility of maintaining harmony in the men ' s dormitory. Each group meets separately every two weeks to transact its business. Joint meetings are held on alternate weeks to design the social program for the college. The Councils, based on democratic principles, promote leadership among those favored with election to this association, and appeal to the student ' s sense of responsibility. Since its organization, the council has built up a reputation of efficiency and has reflected the sound judgment of the student body who wisely delegated the responsibilities to compe- tent indviduals. The Student Council has firmly entrenched itself as an important factor in our college life. 24

Home Economics Faculty For many years the Department of Home Economics has worked steadih ' toward the accomplishment of the verv worthwhile goal of pre- paring teachers for Vocational Home Economics. From a very small beginning in a cottage on the corner it has grown until it has spread itself over the campus. Classes of various types are being held in the Girls Dormitory, in the Junior High School, in the Senior High School and in the regular class rooms used by the rest of the school. A temporary building was finally set up for the College Foods Laboratory which left the entire space in the cottage for the home management courses. The rooms in which the students have cheerfully worked have been most inadequate. During this entire period building projects have been suggested many times. Plans have actually been drawn on several occasions. It was not until a year ago, that any hope could be cherished. The state- wide program has brought us our desired expansion. Concrete evidence of the fulfillment of our dreams is before our eyes. The ragged, yawning excavations testify to the initiation of final plans. Although this class being graduated in 1938 has not had the oppor- tunity to carry on work with new equipment in a new building they have had the advantage of well prepared sympathetic teachers who have furnished them the same experiences, the same guidance and the same class room instruction. We extend a most cordial invitation to you to visit our new quarters and observe the progress made under the new stimulus. 23
