The Student Council of Eureka College, composed of two members of each fraternal group, two persons from the independent groups, one faculty member, and the President of the College, formed the nucleus of all the committees for all-school activities. From this group the committee heads for the homecoming are chosen. The WSSF drive was fully discussed and voted upon by the council before it was taken over by the special committee. Throughout the year, this group appointed committees for all-school dances, parties, concessions, cheerleading, elections, and also took care of many of the awards and honors that were awarded at the end of the school year. This is the first year since the war that the Student Council has been active. The Women's Council of Eureka College, composed of two girls from each sorority, two girls from the independent group, two faculty members, and the two housemothers, met the first and third Mondays of every month to discuss and vote on problems in the dormitory. This group voted on all restrictions that were to be made to the girls for misdemeanors. All rules and regulations were made by this group. This group also sponsored such affairs as coffee after dinner or fruit juice before dinner , this affair took place once a month in Lida's Wood parlor. Special season of the year programs were presented at this time. The big affair sponsored by the Women's Council was the Heart Sister Week, Banquet and Dance. It was very successful and enjoyable this year.
