Board of Control Working as a closely knit unit, the Board of Control carried on the Emerson’s student govern¬ ment for another year. The board, led by President Dick Colley and working closely with Mr. Carl- berg, their sponsor, contended with the many problems that come durng the school year. Going over to Hammond Feb. 18, to the Principal’s Association Meeting, the members of the board learned of the many types of student government. This showed the members how efficient Kmerson’s organization is. As usual, most of the work was carried on through the Booster, Social, Scholarship, and Build- ng and Grounds Committees. The Building and Grounds Committee, ably led by Chairman Carl Carnahan, and sponsor Miss Ban, carried on another year, successfully. The new monitor system and student court functioned to the satisfaction of everyone. Working with a new sponsor, Miss Ekeberg, the Booster Committee again excelled in their boosting ways. Under the leadership of Barbara Smith, the cheer leaders really were in the spotlight this year. Keeping Emerson scholastically fit, is the job of the Scholastic Committee, which makes a monthly report on honor roll and eligibility. Each register is represented on the committee, headed by Rosemary Felts, and sponsored by Miss Talbot. Carryng on Emerson’s full activty program, the Social Committee is probably the best known commttee of the Board of Control. Under Chairman Helen Donahoe, and sponsor, Miss Reynolds, the committee again did a fine job.

If, during the past semester, you happened to pass by Room 302, up on the third floor you would have noticed a great deal of hurrying and scurrying about. The reason for all this was prompt¬ ed by the student body’s demand for an annual. Faced with the ordeal of leaving school without a publication of any kind, the Seniors wanted something to be done about it, so here it is! We were short on time, so the “annual” became a “magazine.” We had lots of fun working on it and hope you enjoy the “E” Magazine as much as we did. P. S.—In our spare time we also put out “Sand and Steel.” Page Fourteen
