Next, the council gave to relieve the stress of the journey were the play nights, which came as Friday night amu 'ement for the weary pioneers in all bat- talions. On these nights the explorers indulged in the frivolity of ping pong and badminton, while a few hardy souls tried tripping the light fantastic to the tom-toms of Chief Rain-in-the-Face Rothrock's high school swing-band. Not to be forgotten is the fine type of management the council has shown as the controller of the purse strings of student body fund. Wfith the help of pay- master Ruth llryant it scrupulously fulfilled the 1Xl'11lyiS obligations, paying this vear's installment on the new stadium. Another thing the council did was to divide definitely the raging controversy of who is entitled to wear major letters. Formerly, participants in four sports, football, basketball, baseball, and track, were allowed to wear major letters for one year's service, and participants in minor sports were allowed to wear major letters following three years of service. The new ruling allows participants in all sports to wear major letters after one year of service. The council also made a ruling that the high school swing band must play at all school functions such as social hours and small dances. The individual organiza- tions, however, are still allowed to hire an outside orchestra for a social function if they wish. lf, in the future, historians come in search of the great and glorious year of the Coronado expedition, they will undoubtedly marvel at the remarkable persistance the explorers showed in the face of all hardships. Let us hope that due credit will be given to these leaders whose diplomacy and intelligence resulted in the remark- able success of these three battalions.

Vice-President, Mike Ginterg President, Babe Hawkg Secretary, liloise VValborng Councilinan-at-large, Bill Chandler STAFF NON-COMS Among the most indispensable of Coronado's many advising bodies is the council chosen from the three battalions, who have set out in search of the seven cities of Cibola. These council representatives have, during their year of service, been dili- gent workers watching out for the welfare of their respective battalions and the army as a whole. As a result of the willing cooperation of the councilinen Corona- do's expedition has been guided on a most successful journey. The success of the journey was partially due to the past experience of all the leading representatives and two of the councilmen. President Edward Hawke had, before assuming this august position, served as his battalion's president the two preceding years with Coronado. Eloise llfalborn had also served as a leader in her battalion for two years, holding the office of secretary. Richard Ginter, vice- president, had held in his tirst year with Coronado the place of vice-president of his battalion. Aniong the councilnien who have previously served on the council are Larry NYilson of the second battalion and Orson Cardon of the first. The rep- resentatives of battalion number three, Mike Clarke and Marion Mcliale, showed a remarkable aptness for administration work after learning the ways of their su- periors. The important position of member-at-large was ably iilled by Hill Chandler. The most important of improvements developed by the administration were in the entertainment held. The nrst thing accomplished was the inauguration of after- game dances during the football and basketball seasons. These served as a great relief from the strain of the desert and the exhaustion prevelant after attacks from foreign legions. I
