It is the foundation of all activities and organizations, supply- ing both finances and support to the various events on the school calendar. Every student who is a member is assured of an active and enjoy- able life while at Central. A Stu- dent Union member is entitled to the privileges of voting in all school and class elections, admis- sion to Student Union parties, dramatic events, and all athletic contests held at home; in addition to this, the privilege of represent- ing the school in interscholastic events. The Student Union also brings to the entire school outside talent in the formal assemblies held each year, and sponsors the Arrow Head which is brought to the students through their membership. The Student council is the gov- erning body of the Student Union, and as such unifies the various activities, enforces the principles of the constitution, and is the closest tie to the wishes and the activities of the student body. Through two constitutional amendments which were passed in the last meeting of the council in 1936, the election of council mem- bers was somewhat changed this year. In order to have a more ef- ficient and active group, it was found advisable to decrease the size of the council to a more wieldy group, and a plan was de- vised whereby the council would l e as representative as before. Twelve representatives were al- lotted to each class, three to be chosen from the college prepara- tory curriculum, three from the STUDENT UNION OFFICERS —First row: Fred Briggs, Ted Me- Logan; second row: Eleanor Cuth- bertson, Margaret Carrier. commercial curriculum, two from the general curriculum, and one from the music, industrial arts, and home economics curriculums. These members were elected at the same time as the class and Student Union elections. The council was presided over by the Student Union president. Fred Briggs; vice president, Ted Mc- Logan; recording secretary, Elea- nor Cuthbertson, and correspond- ing secretary, Margaret Carrier. Much of the work of the coun- cil is accomplished by four com- missions: Finance, activities, gen- eral welfare, and social. The finance commission of the Student Union, with David Magee as chairman, budgeted the Student Union fund. Other members of the commission are Ruth Best, John DeCamp and Leon McNew. John Nakamura as chairman of the social commission, with Doris Girod. Ivan Jones, Martha Mon- tague, Dorothy Goodley, Herbert Stoutenburg and Lila Foster, plan- ned and decorated for all Student Union parties. Under the leadership of Doris McGlone, the general welfare commission, as the name implies, supervised general welfare. Other members are Jean Baker, Peter Panos, Annice French and Marion Conde. The activities commission char- tered all clubs and oversees general activities. The chairman. Louis Mc- New, is assisted by Beryl Frost. Betty Earle, Willard Munson and Jack Omick. Miss Grace Pinel is the sponsor of the Student Council. Page Twenty-Eight

The Senior Board of Directors nnHE SENIOR board of directors is by far the most active of the representative bodies of the three classes due to the many activities for which the senior board is re- sponsible. It is the duty of the rep- resentatives to plan for such func- tions as the senior-junior party, the senior play, the honors assembly, the senior dinner dance, baccalau- reate service and the commence- ment exercises. It was decided to have boys serve as ushers instead of girls as here- tofore. Ralph Snyder was appoint- ed chairman of the tickets; other appointments were Louis McNew, ushers; Betty Earle, programs and Gerard Melancon, publicity. Jane Kelly was appointed chair- man of the commencement exer- cises, and Margaret O’Sullivan was given charge of the baccalaureate service. In preparation for the dinner dance, the following placements were made: Lila Foster, decora- tions; Jack Sarvis, tickets; Doris McGlone, patrons and patronesses: Arlene Aurand and Luther Bridg- man, program, and Marjorie Din- ning and Eleanor Haskill, orches- tra. Many of the committee as- sistants were chosen from the senior class. The presiding officers of the board were the senior officers: Clifford James, president; Eileen Cross, vice president; Jane Kelly, secretary, and Betty Earle, treas- urer. Class sponsors were Miss Ruth Parmalee and Miss Mildred Hodges. The Junior Board of Directors THE JUNIOR CLASS added to its laurels this year through its activities and its individual members. This year “the high standard of accomplishment and activity was faithfully maintained under the able guidance of Peter Panos, president: Ruth Hammond, vice president; Betty Harris, sec- retary, and Don Jones, treasurer. The Junior Board of Directors, the representative body of the class, was given credit for much of the planning for the Junior play, “Pollyanna. Tickets, publicity and ushers were efficiently managed by student heads of committees. The Junior-Senior party was one of the brightest spots of the school social calendar. Carrying out a sports theme, the ingenious juniors built a clubhouse in a cherry orch- ard as part of the decoration scheme. Many students appeared at the dance in sport clothes as they had been asked to do. The class sponsors, Howard Scahill and Miss Dorothy Stone, gave splendid assistance in the ac- tivities of the year. The Sophomore Board of Directors A LTHOUGH new in the school. the Sophomores swung into the political life of Central and elected a corps of efficient and promising officers. Leon McNew, president; Margaret Ressler, vice president; Jayne Stone, secretary, and Dorothy Zandi, treasurer, were chosen to guide the class through the maze of obstacles in the path of the infant class. The Sophomore Board of Direc- tors is the governing body of the class and is composed of one repre- sentative from each group. The board is presided over by the offi- cers, at whose order it convenes at such occasions when any activity is to be planned or problem decided that directly concerns the Sopho- more class. Credit is due the board for the two successful parties sponsored and arranged for by the class of ’39. The faculty sponsors of the class are Miss Mabel Pinel and Miss Elsa Dietrich.

It is com- posed of certain leading members of the school’s major groups. Being an honorary organization, the club holds only two meetings a year; the first of which ap- peared in the form of a banquet given by Mr. Wellwood. At this meeting all new members were taken in and the history and con- stitution of the club was discussed. It was decided that the plaque in the library, upon which former and present members’ names are recorded, should be brought up to date. In the latter part of May, the members were hosts to a din- ner for Mr. Wellwood. The club is made up of the fol- lowing: Fred Briggs, student un- ion president; Cliff James, senior president: Peter Panos, junior president; Leon McNew. sopho- more president; David Magee, former junior president; Wood- row Smithson, former sophomore president; Herbert Stoutenburg, managing editor of the Prospec- tus, and Gale Townsend, editor-in- chief of the Arrow Head.
