STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL SEATED (left to right): J. Kean, Miss McClintic, Dr. Walton. D. Har barger, G. Devore, W. Searles, Dean Baker, Rev. Stelzriede. STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL Democratic living is the principle set forth by this council. Representatives -from the faculty, the two dormitories, student body, the commuters, and the Lebanonites meet once a month to discuss and solve problems to further Christian democracy upon our campus. This year the council decided that a Homecoming would be unpatriotic because of the war emergency program. However, a day was set aside on which a committee meeting was called and a basketball game and a play were the afternoon and night features. The council approved of the change in the Christmas vacation and an extra day was added. By promoting democracy upon our campus we hope to instill it permanently into the minds of the stu- dents, our future Americans. Chairman: Dr. C. R. Yost. Secretaries: Harmon (I), Harshbarger (2). ion, Prof. Hohn, Dr. Yost. STANDING: K. Bruning, M. Harsh- INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SOCIETY The purpose of this new organization is to promote an international understanding and good will among the- students of many allied countries. Progress is very promising. The membership is large, considering the number of foreign language students and the new organization. During our meetings we have helped beginning language students to write letters in Spanish or French. The names of the interesting pen-pals were sent on request. It is exciting to read of the lives of young people in allied countries. The development of the interest of our allies toward us is gratifying. Mrs. Gutekunst is the interested sponsor and or- ganizer. OFFICERS President: Gloria Stephens. Vice-president: Miriam Michels. Secretary-treasurer: Max Martin.

It gives experience in group singing and stimulates interest in music. This year our group of singing voices filled its usual appointments at churches and provided special music for many of our chapel services. Besi des the formal functions of the- chorus one of the outstanding events in this year was the Hallowe ' en Party sponsored by the chorus. The chorus, under the direction of Miss Eula R. Smith, elected Vergene Jones, president; Shirley Berg- man, vice-president; Edna Kampmeyer, secretary; Larry Jones, treasurer; Flonda Jones, social chairman, and Wyvona Luman, pianist. TRIO The women ' s trio is chosen from members of the chorus. The trio sang at Salem, O ' Fallon and in our local Methodist Church. They also furnished special music at the college on various occasions. The mem- bers are Vergene Jones, first soprano; Shirley Bergman, second soprano; and Virginia Phillips, alto. The members of the trio are also soloists, and all have made several public appearances this year. As we think of their singing we are reminded of the words of Ben Johnson: The voice so sweet, the words so fair, As some soft chime had stroked the air; And though the sound were parted thence, Still left an echo in the sense.
