FTER being duly elected and sworn in, May of 1946, President Tom Soules and Vice-President John Rechlin held their first meeting of the 1946-1947 Student Union administration September 10, 1946. Appointed by the President to assist him in his administrative duties were Dick Davidson, Secretary of Student Affairs; Manfred Doser, Secretary of Finance; Don Kerr, Secretary of Athletics; Barbara Roth, Secretary of Inter-school Relations; Carl Galow, Secretary of Student Publications; Bob Hayes, Attorney General; and Rolf Westgard, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Senate Clerk was Don Sherman and Senate Secretary was Carol Oviatt. One of the first activities of the season was the combined Inaugural Ball and All-School Party honoring the new president. Later in the fall, the senate sponsored a pep rally and the Football Honor Night honoring the gridiron players. This is to become an annual event. During the year, a Little Brown Jug was established by the senate between the Handy eleventh graders and the Central Reserve football squads. It was hoped that this would also become an annual event and would stimulate rivalry between the two schools. In the activity ticket drive, a participation percentage of 88 per cent was reached and an all-time high of S3400 dollars was collected. The winter noon-hour activities program was also carried out. It included ping-pong, noon movies, dancing and dance instruction, chess and checkers. One of the big accomplishments of the senate during the year was the passage of the Letter Revision Bill, which defined the types of letters which would be awarded for activities at Central both for athletic and non-athletic organizations.
