GEIJER In a class by itself, with a name almost unpronouncable by non-mem- bers, Geijer is one ot the best loved organizations ot North Park. Geijerfor- engen is highly esteemed and revered by every true North Parker. Its pur- pose has always been to promote that good old Swedish culture which most of us have inherited from our forefath- ers, and the efforts of the members this year have been highly successful. Geijer is not only for Swedish students, but for all who are interested in learn- ing about Swedish customs and tra- ditions. The tra ditional Smorgasbord was held before Christmas, and after a delicious meal, Alyce Larson was crowned Lucia Queen. Wearing long white robes and carrying candles, Alyce and her court serenaded us with Santa Lucia at the Christmas Party sponsored by the student council. Row I I Sandberg. ( I Benson, M. OIso...

The purpose of this club, as the name suggests, is to promote in- terest in our sports events, and to urge all North Parkers to get out and root for our teams. The spirit at our games has been wonderful this year, espe- cially during our basketball season when we had such a tremendous team. The Pep Club should be congratulated on their swell support of all the athletic events of the year. The Pep Club got oil to a line start this year by chartering busses to the football game with La Salle-Peru. The pep rallies this year, including the Homecoming pep rally, were under the direction of this club. The Pep Club spent a lot of time before the big Home- coming week-end making blue and gold shakers . They took a lot of time to make, but the club members had a lot of fun doing it. Next year the club should grow and make a real name for itself on our campus. The officers this year have been: Don Powers, Janice Norton, and George Magnuson.

RELIGIOUS COUNCIL Row I IV Norman. C. Le Valin. N. LinJestrand. A. Larson. Row 2 W Liljegrcn, G. Hartquist, I). Lindman, I. I Erickson, I Nils. Student meetings, Fellowship meetings, and gospel teams are just a lew of the many and varied duties of our Religious Council. In fact, this or- ganization is responsible for the entire religious life of the school. To coordi- nate and direct all the religious activi- ties is the main purpose of the council. Last fall, a Missionary Emphasis Week was sponsored by the council. In the fall the council also took charge of a prayer conference, and Rev. Gus- tafson, who spoke the entire week end from the book of Ephesians, challenged all of us to new heights in our Christian experience. A Missionary Week was held in March. It was decided to con- tinue the support of our missionaries, Ted and Carolyn Kelly with gifts and pledges from the student body and the missionary fund. The annual Julotta and special Holy Week services were outstanding events of the past year. Gospel teams travelled to many Chicago churches as well as out of town places, even as far away as Marion, Ohio. Much of the credit for the success of this fine organi- zation goes to John Nilson, president, and to Nancy Lindestrand, who was in charge of student meetings; also to their able sponsor, Chaplain Erickson.
