tit ode nig Ltd at tire 7t frV- jf-X J The Open House Council paid off. We had a wonder- ful lime after every home game. Diana was pretty serious about the whole thing on this night, but Terry Ley took it in his stride. You can't tell me that Marion and Red didn't realize that we had a photographer there. Courtenay was hitting it off hot in the background but keeping an eye on the refreshment table. Well, we just as well admit that we all like the food. A setting for a formal picture? Not hardly! Just the Open House Council en mass. A hard working group and one who has really done a lot for us this year in the way of entertainment after the games. These were the kind people who saw to it that there was plenty of jazz and sweet music (in the form of the “Rhythm Rascals ) and plenty of good things to eat (also that no one got more than five helpings of the before mentioned). Three cheers for Larry, Dick, Randy, Jimmy, Betty Lou, Lee, Jackie, Franny and Dorothy!!! These particular Rascals really had Rhythm and the nice thing about it was that they were always willing to play a song and an encore at our Open House. Going to town on the front row were Harold Powell, Walton Moore, Bobby Hill and Andy Woods. Bobby Hawkins needed room, Ray Alverson waited his cue, Mr. Stryker loomed in the back- ground and E. C. Moon hit the keys. We are definitely not responsible for Tommy Watts’ appearance in this picture. The Rhythm Rascals, not including Tommy, made our fun at the Y. W. C. A. more fun and we remember them with gratitude. May others have the opportunity to enjoy Open House ! 18

This student organization, which meets on call of the President, promotes such projects as the filling of Red Cross boxes, the Com- munity Chest Drive, an orientation program for the incoming seventh grade students and ticket sales within the school. Also recommendations for improvement of schoolgrounds, and welfare of the students are dis- cussed. Other duties are: to grant charters to all extracurricula organizations in school, such as the Spanish Club and Science Forum, and to foster an honor system under which the students shall govern their own matters of honor. An example of this last duty is the honor study hall which was begun in November. During the last full week of April, campaigning and elections for the '50-’51 officers were held. Some of the extensive campaigning which was done was the distribution of fliers containing the candi- dates names, speeches over the loud speaker system and speeches by each candidate in a regular assembly.
