At the class meeting held for the election of officers we had a grand turnout. Today our class has the distinction of having had the largest turnout for a Freshman Class meeting in the history of the school. We realize that an education in our profession is not the only reason for our enlisting aboard the NTS. We are all acquainted with the various organizations maintained for our benefit, and we intend to make full use of their facilities. On February 6th, our apprentice seamen held a bowling party at the Bayview Wheelman Association. This party was attended by about thirty of our members and during the course of the evening we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We can all be proud of our conduct and interest in this first year on the waters of Engineering. Next year we shall look back upon our term of apprenticeship and laugh at some of the serious storms and terrible water we have sailed through. We have been buffeted about by strong winds and have absorbed a lot of punishment, but we have safely maintained our equilibrium. Our first port of call is almost in sight and we can rest for a while before the next leg of our journey. Let us all resolve to become expert seamen and, Don't give up the ship. Wm. j. Halek

Sophomore Class l. Dillienzo .. President 1. Bates , Vice-President E, Sereda Treasurer E. Purcell a . . . a H . Secretary This year has seen much activity in the class organization. Although a small number of members appeared at the meetings, they certainly sup- ported the dinner-dance and caused it to be a huge success. Mr. Nelson and Mr. Morrow were the appointees to the student Council. The class of '39 was prominent in all sports and activities through the year, This was primarily due to the efforts of the officers. The activities class this year serve as an omen presaging conquest next year. The Class of '39 will be predominant in its junior year. This is a challenge to all classes, clubs, and fraternities. By supporting the class functions, the class, as a whole, has sanctioned the actions of the class officers and the small group which comprises the students who regularly attend the meetings. In the term of l937-38 a larger representation of the class is expected. Larger representation means better athletic teams, more social functions, and more well-organized committees. Larger representation will also tend to make my former statment more possible. Remember that the size of the class organization determines its forrnidability as a competitor in intra-mural operations. C. A. Porter

Student Council Harry Keller President Herman Reichenstein Vice-President Benjamin Morrow Secretary-Treasurer Ted Schneider, '37 George Piehler, '38 George Nelson, '39 Isaac Strejevsky, '40 Charles Steinfeld, '40 Since its organization, the Student Council has become an increasingly essential part of the school activities. During the past year, it has endeavored to accomplish its purpose of contributing to the successful functioning of school life by fostering both the social and the educational needs of the students. The fine cooperation of the school organizations with the Student Council, made possible, among other things, the success of the Convocation. This year's Convocation was declared to have been the best one ever held. Also, since the old school sticker did not seem to meet with the full approval of the student body, it was decided that a new one should be made and the Athletic Association was notified accordingly. The Athletic As- sociation approved the plan and turned out the present sticker which seems to fulfill all the requirements of the students. Another achievement was the lessening of parking troubles of those students who drive in automobiles to school each night. The Student Council feels that it has done much toward improving the school and it extends to its successors the earnest hope that they will be enabled to surpass the efforts of the Student Council of l936-37.
