STUDENT This term the student board, under its presi- dent, Nancy Nevin, granted charters to two new clubs. These clubs were the Rolling Pioneers, a group which is open to all students interested in roller skating, and the Chemistry Club, which is for the benefit of chemistry enthusiasts. The semi-annual dance given by this term's Board was the Shower Shuffle presented Friday, April 20, This was very successful, and charms were given to all girls who attended. For the first time a decorating committee was chosen to trim the lunchrooms on various holi- days. Two musical instruments were purchased for the use of students who are interested in learning how to play them, Money was appropriated for flowers for the funerals of Mr Fetherolf, former vice-principal, and Miss Bacon, former chemistry teacher. A fund was started to purchase a memorial for Mrs Fetherolf. Various active committees of the Board in- clude the receipt, dance, attendance, election, Twenty-seven BOARD safety and transportation, and Father's Associa- tion.
