Even the Treasurer, Bruce Shelley, had additional duties in connection with a separate student aid fund. In addition to the Committee on Student Morale, three other Student Council committees kept up a flurry of activity. The program committee headed by Grace Howell was responsible for the eight student assemblies during the year as well as for the several banquets. Stanley Hartman, Margaret Orton, and Gwen most apparent on the North Campus. Complaints con- cerning rules governing social life were at an all time low. Yet at the same time the discipline had improved. During this first year, Mr. James Hatch, faculty ad- visor to the Council, was most helpful not only in of- fering suggestions on many things, but especially in making the Council face the realities of every situation it dealt with. But Student dormitory responsibility was not the only interest of the Student Council. If activity were the measure of vitality, the Student Council had never been so much alive. The work of the Secretary of the FORENSICS NELSON Fonims, debates, talks See page 62 Humphreys and Paul Besancon also worked with Grace on this committee. Elva Brownlee directed the activities of the Music Committee. Helping her on everything from arranging the pianists for the chapel service to organizing and presenting the Spring Musical were Genevieve Black- burn, Stanley Barthold, Verta Needham, Mary Ellen Powers, and Roy Eichner. Arranging the social calendar for the year and spon- soring each party and picnic as it came along kept Alice Jacobsen ' s Social Committee busy all year. Those who were associated with Alice at various times during the year were Nancy Reynolds, Sam Tatem, Ernie Chun, Harry Smith, and James Standridge. During 1949-50 there were 19 seats on the Student Council. Besides the seats occupied by the four execu- tive officers and the three committee chairmen who have already been mentioned, there were the heads of the various school organizations and publications and 2 new members of the council this year, the presidents (Continued on page 7)

Shook ' s practical outlook was a great asset to the Council in the solution of many problems which arose at the outset. Other members of his committee during the first semester were Phebe Morse, Sam Tatem, Gwen Hum- phreys, Alice Jacobsen, and Ed Iwan.

Enforcement of dormitory rules and discipline were part of its responsibility. But its hardest task, as its name implied, was the building of good student morale. By the beginning of the second semester the system seemed to be on its feet. There were specific achieve- ments the Council could point to. Improvement was (Continued on page 8) V LA m W.

c MADEIRA ' S New approach to yearbook joumalisn of the Men ' s and Women ' s dormitories; the five class presidents: Bill Keiter, Grads; Bill Harding, for the Seniors; Frank Sanders, for the Juniors; Dave Renaker, Sophomore, and Burwell Frazier, Freshman President. They have contributed to school life by guiding their respective classes in their social and spiritual life. The Women ' s Literary Society President Marylin Shaver and Walter Nelson, President of the Men ' s Forensic Society, have led their respective organizations in giving students the needed cultural subjects and world affairs. The two new officers seated on the council this year, the presidents of the Men ' s and Women ' s dormitories, were Gwen Humphreys and Marlys Anderson for the women and Sam Tatem for the men. One reason for the added prestige of these officers is the vital part they have played in instituting student responsibility in the dormitories. Another added responsibility this year for the Men ' s Dorm leader is the directing of the Cam- pus Improvement Program. This program began last year under the initiative of Eugene Madeira, now the Editor of the Finial, the school ' s yearbook. As editor of this publication this year Madeira has been kept busy embodying a picture of school life in his new experi- ment in yearbook journalism. Jonathan Lucas as Editor of the CeBeCean, the school newspaper, led his staff in putting out a publica- tion that portrayed student life. It also has stimulated student opinion concerning various student enterprises. The Foreign Mission ' s Fellowship, the center of the Bible College spiritual life, was led this year by Ed Iwan (see photo next page). Under his leadership the organization not only presented missionary challanges and information to CBC students but also extended their deputations throughout South Carolina, to reach the people with the messages of Missions. It was a year of work for every one of the officers on the Council. There were probably as many man hours devoted to Student Council affairs this year as in all previous years put together. But it was not work with- out reward. One reward for being on the Council this particular year was the singular honor which came in the invitation of the governor of South Carolina, and recent presi- dential aspirant, J. Strom Thurmond, to be his guests on Friday evening, November 25, at the Executive Mansion for dinner. But the greater reward was the satisfaction derived from the sense of achievement and progress made dur- ing the year. There were mistakes; there were difficult times. But there was a record of accomplishment. The vision was fact. NEWSHOUND LUCAS hunts editorial meat
