EASTONIAN 1935 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council bodies of both semesters ably fulfilled their duties, conforming to the high ideals and standards traditionalized by former student governmental organizations. The purpose of Student Council is to render the highest type of service to the student body. This purpose was followed to the letter, the Council even giving way at times to conflicting enterprises which it considered more important. its accomplishments were many, and all repre- sented worthy achievement. The sponsoring of a school dance orchestra was one of the outstanding undertakings of the organization. The orchestra played for various school dances, mixers, and also for outside engagements. lt proved to be very popular among the student body. The musicians were all students of East and were led by Parry Smith. The orchestra, known as Parry Smith's Synco- paters, was composed of: piano, Ellen Gray, drums, Dick Cullen, clarinet, Parry Smith, trombone, George Callen, guitar, Charles Quinn, saxophones, Maxine Boyce, fudson Cooper and Arthur Borden, and trumpets, Carl Hall, Vincent Dawson, Max Fisher and VVilson Sprout. The Council of the first semester sponsored three mixers. The first was a Halloween mixer, an all-school mixer held in the cafeteria of the school. The next was a freshman-sophomore mixer to teach young social aspirants the art of dancing. It also was held in the cafeteria. December 24, a grand Christmas mixer was held in the lower hall amidst all the attendant good feeling and spirit of the season. Parry Smith's orchestra played for all these occasions. The first semester body awarded honor pins to the students of outstanding achievement, as is the custom of the Council. They also revised the constitu- tion, and gathered sickness, disease and accident statistics for the school nurse. The second semester Student Council was installed in a formal ceremony at assembly in February. This Council sponsored a program of homeroom bulletins designed to enlighten students in phases of society and its practises not taught as regular subjects. These bulletins provide for a program in each homeroom to be participated in by the students. They enable the students to study the problems of life and allow for a discussion of practical application of the principles learned in study. A candy sale at the Senior Play was one of the methods of increasing the treasury. The St. Patricks mixer was the contribution of the Council to the social life of the school. A king and queen, Glenn Stebbins and Elva lane Olson, were elected by popular vote. Frank Doane and Margaret Ie-nkins won the dancing contest. ln May the honor pins were awarded, a mixer was held May 8, and the activities of the' Council were concluded with the installation of next year's officers May 31.
