Emer’s fiurkbune, Board of Contrnl President Deno Kottaridis governed the Board of Control with the aid of its sponsor, Mr. Carlberg. This board, in turn, led the student body during the year. Primarily, how¬ ever, the Board originates within the students. They are the ones who determine who is placed on this body. Class presidents, com¬ mittee chairmen, and two representatives from each class all voice their problems freely and without restraint. This form of student government has three vital committees: So¬ cial Committee, Booster Committee, and Building and Grounds Committee. These committees’ duties vary, but they carry on the main work of the Board of Control. Standing: Deno Kottaridis. Seated, left to right, clockwise: Dave Sartoris, Marion Elia, Violet Ranzino, Dick Carrabine, Jim Kirksey, John Sargis, Ziggie Niepokoj, Hank Dzienslaw, Leroy Hurd- low, Betty Dawson, Pat Hall, Kate Egan, Marilyn Sayles, Terry Flynn, Ray Francis, John Scheerer. The Social Committee this year provided a program filled with variety. Barn-dances broke up the monotony of previous years, and or¬ ganized bands were introduced to Emer’s so¬ cial whirl; the selection of records was up to par, and the stand-by Wednesday night dances were well attended. Tuesday morn¬ ings marked this committees’ meeting days and all jobs were taken care of in the time allotted for register meeting. Chairman and sponsor alike, Pat Hall and Miss Reynolds, can be proud of themselves. Ruby Kottaridis was chairman of the Booster Committee for ’49. She and her staff were assigned the tremendous job of boosting all school affairs—sports events, dances, or come what may. Any shy or reticent person would surely have been unsafe if his fate had been determined by the Booster Committee, for they called for noise—at the right time, of course. The task of the Building and Grounds Committee is no snap either. Their purpose is to keep the halls and grounds free of refuse. In the event the students get careless, this committee should remind them of it, and show how to keep the halls clean. Not only did this committee attempt to fill their obliga¬ tions concerning clean halls, but they also had charge of hall guards. Hank Dzienslaw was head clean-up man this year; Miss Ban was committee sponsor.

limin ' , till! Stmlimt Coping with problems of exams, dates, and money, Emers’ sons pull through. They start as Freshmen, working, studying, playing, and they leave as proud old Emers’ sons—and after these there shall be others, but I will remain.
