Student Council The Student Council, composed of nine representatives elected by the student body, is the basis of student government at Cleveland College. These nine members, five full-time students, three part-time students, and one co- operative student, aim to provide special activities for the entire college, fre- quently holding affairs at night to include evening part-time students. Functions sponsored this year include the Indian Summer Dance, Christ- mas Program, Holiday Formal, Stunt Night, Penny Carnival, Valentine Dance, and the Spring Formal. ln addition to these, at least two cultural programs are offered each semester. The Council also supports and promotes new ventures suggested by students, if they are practical and judged necessary. One of the newest is in the field of athletics. An athletic program was put into operation last semester, including activities for both men and women. All students automatically become members of the Student Governing As- sociation, and they are thus eligible for membership in the Student Council. Any student nominated by petition or by the Nominating Committee must have completed twelve credit hours of class work at Cleveland College, with a minimum grade average of 1.0 QCD by the end of the semester in which the elec- tion takes place. Election time is between May lst and 15th. MTW ....-,W,..T Standing: Frank Watson, Ruth Webber, Mary Martin, Robert Pollack Seated: H. Verne Wfoodruff, Laura Faustini, Daniel Lopatt

ea:-60012 Many attempts had been made during the twenty years of Cleveland Col- lege's operation to put out an annual, but these vague plans never crystallized. Since the school has long had a literary magazine and a newspaper, many felt that in a predominantly adult school these publications were sufficient. Others felt that the cooperative effort required for such a venture would be lacking in a school of this type. In the late spring of 1946, the Student Council again considered a yearbook. This time the opposition was overridden. A staff was appointed and the gathering of material began in the winter session of 1946- 1947. The staff was quartered at a desk in the mailing-room, next to the Life of- fice. Conversation between members of the two staffs took place through an eight-inch peephole cut in the wall between the two offices. Strangers in che building were frequently disturbed at the sight of an apparently decapitated head hung on the wall. Possessing no typewriters of its own, the yearbook staff occasionally spirit- ed one or two typewriters out of the Life office, only to find that, if left un- guarded a moment, they would mysteriously have returned to the Life office. To raise funds and to get an estimate of how many sales to expect, the Sales Committee conducted an advance- payment subscription campaign. When sales lagged, the staff tried contests and stunts to bring in more subscriptions. A Coke and Jam Session given by the staff further to publicize the forthcom- ing book was interrupted by the appearance of a synthetic white horse named Square Collegianf' that had difficulty keeping his front and back ends syn- chronized as he danced and pranced through the auditorium. To promote interest in the forthcoming venture, contests were conducted to choose a name and a cover design for the book. Eloise Allinger won a table- model radio for her submitted title and Gold Kimmick received a twenty-five- dollar prize for his winning cover design. Of all the difficulties encountered, perhaps the greatest was that of selling advertising space. Commendations of the whole staff go to the advertising com- mittee for their excellent sales effort, without which yearbook plans might not have become a reality.
