Glee Club The Glee Club, which was organized in the fall 1944, was continued this year under the direction of Miss Katherine James. It was open only to the girls in seventh and eighth grades and high school. The club made one public appearance in Potsdam at the May Festival. The members are Barbara Fisher, Frances Vanderburg, Katherine Vanderburg, Mary Louise Per- kins, Joan Crossman, Julia Leary, Eileen Seaver, Maureen Sanford, Patricia Regan, Freda LaPoint, Barbara Hutchinson, Mavis Johnson, and Kathleen Gorman. Student Council At the beginning of the second semester, in January, 1946, a Student Council was organized, both as a clearing house for the business of the school in which the pupils have direct interest, and as a deliberating body, rather than a legislative body, for the consideration of proposed innovations, and as the delegating of responsibility for such undertakings as pageants, drives, and special publications. This year, however, is merely the beginning of Student Council; next year its scope will be enlarged. Two students as representatives from each class were chosen by their fellow members, with the exception of the seventh and eighth grades. These grades elected one representative each. The results made the following students members of the 1946 Student Council: Senior Class—Margaret Alford and Paul Mittelstaedt; Junior Class—Shirley Leary and George Swift Sophomore Class—Sady Smith and Everett Thompson; Freshman Class—Barbara Fisher and Harold Perkins; Eighth Grade — Reuben James; Seventh Grade—Julia Leary. These ten representatives chose as their officers; Paul Mittelstaedt, president Sady Smith, treas- urer; and Everett Thompson, secretary.
