THE STUDENT COUNCIL FOUNDED in 1919 in order that the student body might have a voice in the affairs that affected them, the Student Council has represented student government, law and order, and discipline, ever since with the reigns of government resting in the hands of those elected by the four college classes each spring. . The Council has for one of its duties the disbursement of funds paid into the student activity fund, the delegating of which takes considerable time. The Council also worked closely With Dr. Dunning the past year and several times the group met in joint session with the Senate of Wright Hall when questions concerning the actions of men and women students were under discussion. New rules regarding dating were offered by this ioint body in March. The Council also sponsors various dances throughout the year, all of which are open to the student body without an admission being charged. These affairs are informal and proved to be the most popular type of party given during the past season. Freshman discipline again returned to the campus in a somewhat modified form and this Work was ably directed by Student Marshall, George Purdy. , Top Row, left to right: Lee Clack, John True, Clifford Car- ter, Walter Brieden.

Under the active direction of Mr. Erdman a staff was selected and Russell Staudacher, senior from Saginaw, was again elected to take over the duties of editor. Richard Bendall, another retention from the 38 edition was placed at the head of the Business Managership. Under the direction of Lois Goldie the subscription cam- paign advanced despite opposition from various sources and the sales ot the book mounted' until it was apparent that over 375 copies would be sold to students alone. An inno- vation of last year, that ot giving the various larger high schools complimentary copies was carried over again with copies going to over one hundred schools. A new theme was carried out in the edition, and popu- larity contests were substituted for the Hall of'Farne of last year. Henry Fonda, popular movie star, was selected for the honor of choosing the three prettiest Alma girls. His results are shown elsewhere. The chief aim of the Scotsman was to present a pictorial View of the events of the year which has just passed. The editors feel they have done this. 88

It was fun and I hope I won't be the object of a scalp hunt as the result of my selections. It is always difficult to try and pick w:Lnners from mere photographs, when personalities play such an import- ant part in beauty. Sin el dy KL 1. Jeanette Davidson 2. Amelia Arnold 5.
