Administration WITH splendid cooperation, the Board of Education effectively administered the business of the Arkansas City school system during the 1934-35 school year. At its monthly meetings under the direction of Dr. L. E. Brenz, president, problems arising before the board were dealt with and plans were carried out. Dr. Brenz has been president of the school board for eight years ar.d a member since 1921. Supt. St John who for years has been the executive head of the entire Arkansas City school system, helps to formulate our educational ideals and policies. This year’s successful coronation of the Ark-alalah queen was credited to the city schools under the management of Mr. St. John. Mrs. Lillian Adams, his secretary, while she is not so well-known in the high school, quietly and efficiently handles the secretarial work. The many responsiblitics and honors of the school are bestowed upon the man who is most capable of handling all executive duties which a successful school year demands. That man is E. A. Funk, high school principal and Junior College dean. Mr. Funk is a jovial, smiling friend to every member of the student body and spends his time quietly assisting in the undertakings of not only the different school organizations but also of each individual. He is never too busy, with all his duties, to help some student solve a personal problem. Miss Katherine Getter his secretary, amiable passes out advice and slips to the students.

At the regular fall elections, Hampton Barton, senior, was chosen president of the council by a vote of the entire student body. The members of the organization elected as their president pro-tem Victor Gillespie, and as their secretary for the first semester, Lorene Myers, and for the second semester, Virginia Day. Every organization considered worthy of representation in the government of the school is given equal recognition in the Student Council whose sponsors are Misses Edna Wheatley and Catharine Dean. Membership in the organization is for both semesters. Each year the Student Council choses one project as its main occupation for the year. This year the high school organization cooperated with that of the junior college to work out an effective means of eliminating the traffic conjestion in front of the high school, planning for a junior police force. Donald Evans was elected head inspector from the high school. Other high school patrolmen were Victor Gillespie, Bruce Reid. Richard Colopy, Edwin Maier, and Wayne Thomas. Edna Wheatley, A. B., A. M„ English instructor, head sponsor of the Student Council, and the social committee of the Girl Reserves is a peppy, sincere, person who makes the members of the Student Council feel their responsibilities. The entertainments which the social committee plans such as the Dad-Daughter Feed, the Mother-Daughter Banquet, and the Children’s Christmas party, always have that added bit of ingenuity which only Miss Wheatley can supply. The Student Council is greatly aided by the ability of Miss Wheatley to engineer the work of the orginization so that many projects are completed and many achievements are made. Picnics with Miss Wheatley are a real treat. She cooperates willingly and is always ready to enter into the spirit of a fun making group. 1'AGE !

Class of 35 PRESIDENT— Jack Axley, College Prep. Whether in the classroom or presiding during the senior class meetings, Jack more than showed his efficient leadership. VICE PRESIDENT— Eleanor Stanton, College Prep. Eleanor has certainly added that necessary “something to make the office of vice-president more than a minor one. SECRETARY— Harry Colopy, College Prep. In a quiet and dignified manner, Harry has proved an outstanding and able secretary. STUDENT COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE— Kathleen Thomas, College Prep. The senior class found an excellent representative in Kathleen. WITH plenty of school spirit the senior class has upheld the ideals of the Arkansas City High School during the year 1934-35. Not only have the students taken part in the various activities, but have also tried to set a worthy example for the underclassmen.
