STUDEN T COUNCIL TUDENT councils come and go. This one has been exceptional in as much as it made a valiant effort to remedy the antiquated student constitu- tion. As this book goes to press we are indeed sorry to report that the newly proposed document is so intricate and complex that an entire school year has been used in perfecting it. After having a student committee Qcomposed of the school's leading statesmen and chosen by the council members themselvesj, spend many Weeks in drawing up what many declared to be a masterpiece in student government, the council decided that it was still inadequate. Henceithe delay in legislation. STUDENT GOVERNMENT This year's council was composed of : Don Qwensby, Student Presidentg Al- fred Taylor, Councilman-at-large, Roy WC1't, Senior Class President, Joe Nickle, Junior Class Presidentg Lloyd Clay, Sophomore Class President, and Hereford Kelso, Freshman Class Presi- dent. P The Play Night programs instituted by last year's council were carried over this year with great success. Ex-Student President Buford Thomas seems to have put something into our school that will be popular here for many years. s

BOARD OF REGENTS CANDLER TRIMBLE SKINKER COVERT RATH BONE SEVVALL EW have more responsibility in guid- ing the policies and setting the stand- ards of the college than do the members of the Board of Regents. Appointed by the Governor with the consent of the State Senate they serve six-year terms. These appointments are so arranged that two members are selected every two years. This spring Governor Park chose Mr. B. A. julian of Marshfield and Mr. V. A. Dobbins of Ava to succeed Mr. W. G. Rathbone of Springfield and Mr. C. E. Covert of Houston. Mr. Rathbone has been President of the Board for the past few years. Serving on the board with the newly elected members are: W. S. Candler of Mountain Grove, Sam E. Trimble of Springfield, W. I. Sewall of Carthage, and C. H. Skinker of Bolivar. Also connected with the board are: W. I. Baker of Springfield, Secretary and Auditor g President Roy Ellis of Spring- field and State Superintendent of Schools Charles A. Lee, who is an ex- officio member. C S. T. C. has occasion to celebrate. A bill introduced in the State Legislature to abolish the boards of the five Teach- ers Colleges and establish a state-wide board has recently been defeated. We are duly thankful, for it would have been a serious handicap to the future of our school. The men who serve on the local board have the interest of the college at heart and have, therefore, pushed us out in front until we now rank as one of the finest in America. Quite naturally we are elated that they are to remain as our chief administrators.
