The Student Cabinet Sometime during the first of December, 1920, President Brickcr invited a few students into his office and explained to them the plan for a Student Cabinet. The purpose of the cabinet is to afford an avenue thru which the President of the School may keep in closer touch with the desires and asperations of the student body, and thru the Cabinet keep the student body better informed as to the administrative policy of the School. The President also explained that the Cabinet might become the medium, at a later date, for a plan of student self government with appropriate responsibilities. The students who consulted with the President on the subject approved heartily of the plan, and the following lirst six students were appointed as members, and later—Jan. 5. 1920—the last four students were appointed as members of The President's Student Cabinet. Helen llairc Adelaide Burnson Olga Polstad Cecelia Bcrndt Michael Peterson Conrad Ness Lester Landes Francis Thompson Frank Stone Stella Smith It soon developed that there was a real place for the Cabinet in the affairs of the School. Social affairs of the student body, as, a School party, a dance, a skating party, start with the favorable action of the Cabinet, either originated by the Cabinet or suggested to it. Then the matter is referred to the Deans. If the proposed affair also receives the approval of the Deans, they at once appoint a committee of students to arrange for and have charge of the proposed social function. Other matters of general School and student interest may come before the Cabinet, where these things arc discussed with the President of the School. »»ACK TWKNTV-SIX

The Orchestra met a few times for practice during the first weeks in February and was under the direction of Mr. Franklin J. Rice of Staples, Minn. However, the interest lagged and only a few meetings for practice were held, when the efforts to have an orchestra were given up till the first of April, when Professors Halsey and Forkner took charge. Twelve students took up the orchestral work with enthusiasm and earnestness, and the organization soon became a credit to the School. Altho some of the members were amateurs, they progressed rapidly. Mildred Smith and Anthony Mcucr volunteered to play drums in spite of the fact that they had had no training along this line. Under the direction of Professor Halsey, they soon became quite proficient. The Orchestra not only furnished music for Assembly and School programs, but also for the Commencement Exercises. The following are members of the orchestra: Piano Miss Forkner and Hazel Burn son. Violin Cecelia Berndt. Isabel Olson, Marian Barger, and Ernest Haugen. Cornet Frank Bonga and dayman l.arson. Clarinet Conrad Ness and Vernon Nelson. Trombone Harry Bohn. Drums Mildred Smith and Anthony Meuer. PACK TWENTY SEVEN
