Student Council Governs Activities HE student council of the Arkansas City Junior College plays an important part in the activltes of the school. This orginizaton must choose from time to time throughout the year the various acting committees of the student body. The members of these important groups must be fully qualified for these responsible po- sitions, and it is the duty of each Student Coun- cil member to know these people whom they ap- point, and be able to vote intellingetly when one is to be chosen. For niany years it has also acted in the capacity of intermediary between the student body and out-of-town organizations of like nature, as well as the faculty and the townspeople. This year the Student Council has been instru- mental in making the yearbook a possibility. At the first of the year, the Student Council selected the members of a social conmittee, which has planned the social funct'ons and parties of the junior college throughout tthe year. The students on this committee are Marian Getter, chairmang Roberta Bowen, Dora Gillig, Bill Hamilton, and Erle Volkland. The Student Council also appointed the mem- bers of the Assembly Program Committee, which has charge of the Weekly assembly entertain- ments. On these programs appear sueakers from the various organizations of the city, such as the Ministerial Alliance or the American Legion. Many students take part also, and as these pro- grams have to be planned far ahead of time, the members of this committee must be capable and trustworthy. Dorothy Ewing is chairman, and the other members are Rachel Foltz ,Roberta Bowen, Kenneth Franklin, Frances Gordon, and K. R. Galle, sponsor and advisor. Arthur Sanderson was selected as president of the Student Council. Lillian Clough and Anna Ruth Maus are the representatives of the soph- omore classg Gladys Cowen and Donald Beatson, of the freshman classg and Ruth Knedler, of the Y. W. C. A. of the junior college. Assistant Dean K. R. Galle is sponsor and advisor for the group. Arthur Sanderson, president, is a member of the National Honor Society, and was also the pres- ident of his sophomore class in high school. Lillian Clough is also a member of the Nation- al Honor Society. She is a talented singer and has had a leading role in the school opera for two consecutive years. Her ambition is to become more accomplished in the singing line. I'AGl'l IS Anna Ruth Maus had one of the leads in the senior class play when she was in high school, and has always been prominent in school activities. Gladys Cowen was a member of the first debate team in high school at Pratt, Kansas. She is an accomplished reader, as Well as be'ng a good student. Donald Beatson has always been active in school affairs and has been very popular with students and teachers alike. Ruth Knedler was a member of the National Honor Society in high school. She is active in Y. W. C. A. work and all other school activities. Members of this governing body are selected by the class or organization which they represent. The president is elected by both the sophomore and freshman classes at the beginning of the year. Through the cooperation of these various repre- sentatives, the entire student body and each or- ganization has a voice in the government of the school. This efficient type of student rule has been in practice for a number of years and has proved its value through the progress of the whole school program. ff -ef Wig C' X .f - . ' 2

Pep Club Promotes School Spirit HE Pep Club of the junior college was organ- ized in 1931 for the purpose of supporting school activities, such as football, basketball, track, debate, plays, and forensic contests. As a nucleus of school pep, the members have spread the spirit over the entire student body. Be- sides being an organization to create enthusiasm in college extra-curricular activities, the members have picnics and parties during the year. Marching in the business district before the football games was one of the methods used by the organization for creating pep. The pep chapels also helped arouse school spirit. Between halves of several of the basketball games, members of the Pep Club presented stunts. Membership in the club is open to any college student who is interested in promoting college spirit. A black sweater with a tiger insignia on the front and an orange and black arm-band con- stitutes the uniform of a member.
