ND REWARD . Mr. Ben Kellner. faculty adviser, and Student Body President Luis Valdes confer on the agenda tor a future board meeting. More than a year ot hard work was climaxed last tall when the Board of Com- missioners brought about the ratification of a new, revised constitution. Then, after starting out with a crowning success, the board Went through the never- ending jobs of granting petitions, selling student body cards, and presenting entertaining assemblies. Having complete control ot the reins of student govern- ment, the board succeeded admirably. It happens every time! Board members wait for that odd-shaped piece ot metal to open the door to Bayless Hall. rw

PERSONABLE PREXY . . You could always spot Luis Valdes. He was the fellow with the slow, ambling walk, the wide grin that encom- passed everyone, the easy-going, happy manner. Always first to lend a helping hand, this active senior spread good will, and was a fitting representative of our school student body president. Probably the largest success of Luis' tenure of office was the overwhelming ratification of our new constitu- tion, in which he played an instrumental part. Leading assemblies, presiding at board meetings, or just talking with his innumerable friends, Luis was his affable self, displaying the characteristics that per- suaded the student body to put their confidence in him.
