The lounge is a spacious room with comfortable furniture, a piano, public address system and a dance floor. lt is here that students meet to talk, dance, play bridge, listen to records or study. All Student Union activities are controlled by a Board of Governors, composed of six students and the Director of the Union, Mrs. Charles O'Connell. The six fields of the Union are represented by these six students: Susie Holland, recreation: Betty Jo Farnham, service, Bill King, publicity, Bob Ewing, social, Paul Johnson, entertainment, and Mitzi Walch, house. Betty Jo Farnham was chairman of the Board for 1950-1951. During the past year the Union sponsored ten free movies, square dancing every Thursday night, and discussion groups each Wednesday afternoon. The Student Union is truly a place of recreation, guidance, and learning. It is little wonder that its friendly atmosphere makes it the most popular spot on the campus.
