STUDENT COUNCIL HE Student Council composed of four sophomore and four freshmen members elected by the college at large, was headed this year by John Pierson. The social activities included a mixer at the beginning of the year, a Hallowe’en party called the “Cider Swing”, and a Christmas party called the “Holly Hop”. In conjunction with the Women’s League the Council also sponsored the Parents’ Tea, one of the largest receptions for parents, faculty members, and students in the history of the college. As to the serious side of business, the Council worked hard with the faculty to acquire a Junior College lounge room and to furnish it comfortably. Fine cooperation from the student body helped to make the intramural athletic program a success. Real college spirit broke out at the annual field day. A radio skit, the sponsorship of Shakespearean plays, and a varied assembly program also gave evidence that the college had a busy year. The committee heads were: Social, Coral Huffman; Finance, Earnest Jobe; Serapbook, Marjorie Larkworthy; Assembly, Hugh Dinsmore; Booster, Robert Jungklas; Athletics, Robert Shearer; Publicity, Robert Ellery; Pin, Anita Johnston; Lounge, Clara Johnston. WOMEN'S LEAGUE HE purpose of the Women’s League is to unite all the girls of Junior College T that they may present activities by which money can be earned to provide for a loan fund for the students of Junior College. Many activities have made this year an outstanding one for the Women’s League. The “fxcursion’’, the Christmas banquet, the Parents’ Tea, the Spring Dance, and the annual May banquet each did its part toward helping the girls to become acquainted and provide for many good times. ) The officers for the past year included Violet Marti, president; Catherine Natsis, vice-president; Patricia Fowley, recording secretary; Eileen Phalen (later replaced by Joyce Drehmer), corresponding secretary; Jean Finkbeiner, treasurer. The chairmen of the standing committees were as follows: Margaret Forbes, athletics; Isabelle Dease, social; Betty Steele, candy; Jane Fox, nominating and scholarship.

Miss Mathilda Schroeder, Miss Irma Anschutz, and Miss Erma Hellmuth are the sponsors. CRUCIBLE HE Crucible, the bi-monthly publieation, organized in September with Henry B. Smith as temporary editor. After two weeks a permanent staff was selected with Henry B. Smith as editor-in-chief, Helen and Jean Finkbeiner as assistant editors, Bernard Sauve and Virginia Rice, sports editors; Frances Patterson and Rosemary Ryan, features; Kenneth Mollhagen and Walter Childs, columns; Isabelle Trombley as circulation manager; Mary Dulong, Catherine Natsis, Elna Murphy and Clifford Campbell on organizations.

The Annual staff, separate from the Crucible staff, was organized after Christmas and Peggy Schmitt was selected as editor-in-chief. She planned thé book under the direction of Miss Virginia Eicholtz, art instructor, and took charge of mounting the art work.
