JOHN DALTON Yell Master One of the first actions of tlie 1930-31 Student Council was to cut the number of officers of the Council for the sake of more efficient handling of problems. As Council personnel was before, its unwieldliness rendered it incapable of speedily and efficiently coping with urgent and iniporlant problems, the task of assembling a quorum being of too herculean propor- tions for the best benefits of the students. As the Council assembles now only the president of the Associated Students, the first and second vice presidents, editor of tlie Y News, editor of the Banyan, aiul a Faculty Representative, are regular official members. Student heails ol utiier departments were invited to attend Council only when problems pertaining to their respective departments were discussed, and these officers were also granted the right to appear before the Council at ain lime without in itation whenever there was need for Council action.

■ I r J V BANYAN ' 31 lAMES A. CULLIMORE President Student Government Fortunate indeed were the Associated Students of Brigham Young University to have as their head for the year 1930-31 an in- dividual who has real- ly felt the responsihil- ity of his position, and who has studied the needs of the students as a group in order more completely to dis- charge his duties. He has never shirked his responsibility, and, on the other hand, has taken a lethargic stu- dent body and has animated it until big things have been accomplished in almost every field of student activity. James Cullimore, A. S. B. Y. U. President, deserves a hand for the splendid results of his administration. The various student programs during the year have been of an unusu- ally high standard. In contrast to the Monday and Wednesday assemblies, which were sparsely attended, the Friday gatherings have always found an overflow of College Hall. The big reason for this demands untold praise for the consistent work of Bernice Barton, vice president, who never failed n her duty of preparing attractive programs on Fridays. A new feature which was inaugurated this year was the exchange of programs with the sister institutions of higher learning in Utah. It is ex- pected that the practice will grow with the years. The feature has a most commendable end in that it encourages more harmonious and friendlv rela- tionship with the student bodies of the other institutions of tlie state.

1 i J BANYAN ' 31 ELAINE PAXMAN President ADA HASLER Vice President VIRGINIA TAYLOR Secretary DOROTHY HOOVER Recreational Leader Associated Women Students The Associated Women Student organization of the Brigham Young University initiated the Senior sponsor system this year. Twenty Senior girls were chosen in the spring to act as hostesses to the new girls who entered the university in the following autumn. The jieriod of sponsorship lasted for six weeks during which time each group was entertained at Dean Nettie Smart ' s home and by their sponsors. At the end of the six weeks a banquet was given them by the sponsors. Poverty provided the theme for the annual girl ' s jamboree. Prizes were given for the best costumed groups and for the best stunt and the entire evening was one of enjoyable gaiety. The year ' s program was organized around a happiness theme and each activity, including the separate meetings, carried out some phase of this theme. Cinderella was the theme that was carried throughout the girls ' day activities. The theme was initiated by the annual play, A Kiss for Cin- derella, and part of the fascinating magic of the story was inserted into the assembly program, banquet, and dance. Each social unit appointed a committee to arrange and carry out some special part of Girls ' Day and the cooperation that resulted was very gratifying. One of the special projects for Girls ' Day was to make possible the return of all former A. W. S. presidents. Those that were unable to be present on the campus sent in greetings that were printed in the Y News. With a quorum of officers to initiate high standards of activites through- out the year and a responsive organization, the year 1930—31 was indeed a banner year for the A. W. S. Too much credit and praise cannot be given to Miss Elaine Paxman, president, for her inspirational and efficient leader- ship. To her successor, Miss Maxine Clayton, devolves an herculean task to carry on the work as done by Miss Paxman. LfV g r.. ■ THIIllUIII||||li ' ' T?= [18] . ' U ' ' . m fiS fer r S in '
