THE ISLANDER Student Council The Student Council is an organization elected by the student group to represent the body in all matters concerning it. The Council in co- operation with the faculty has charge of local and state oratorical con- tests, inter-collegiate debates, the Volante, and athletic contests. Through its officers and committees the Council makes arrangements for carrying on the ordinary student activities. Members of the Council serve during one school year, being elected at the close of the previous year. One of the enjoyable affairs of the first of the year was Home Com- ing, November 5, with a football game between Doane and Grand Island. The Home Coming banquet was one of the outstanding events of the year. The Council appreciates the loyal support of the Stripettes in helping to make Home Coming a success. A carnival, a benefit movie, and two plays were sponsored by the Council, yielding a reasonable profit which was added to the student ac- tivity fund. Other activities sponsored by the Council were: college day, the basket ball and forensic banquet, and the all school picnic. The Council for 1927-28 was organized as follows: President ........................... F. A. Rush Vice-President ..................... Esther Rice Secretary ........ ..............

GEEP THE ISLANDER ng Paul Goodwin Dean Goodwin John Ciemny Elma Buchanan Jean Gemmell Thelma Willehan Madge Axiord The Volante The Volante entered upon its third decade this year with the hope of being a better newspaper than ever before. Paul Goodwin was elected editor, and managed its publication the first semester. During the second semester the paper was edited by various organizations. The Sophomore class, Freshman class, Amphictyon literary society, Athenian literary so- ciety, Sigma Tau Delta, and Junior class each sponsored one issue. Harold Eisele served as business manager throughout the year. Professors Laurene Steven and W. T. McDonald were faculty advisors. The staff of The Volante is essentially a volunteer staff. A number of persons have co-operated with the editor in making the paper a success. Students to whom special credit is due for their work are: Thelma Wil- lahan, Elma Buchanan, Madge Axford, John Ciemny, and Dean Goodwin. As a four page, five column paper, The Volante was issued bi-weekly. The object of the staff was to make it conform, as nearly as their limited working time would permit, to the highest standards of college jour- nalism. Its space was devoted to campus news, College events, sports, alumni news, editorials, feature articles, original humor, and meritorious stories from the English department. The name of The Volante is not a common one. It is pronounced vo-lahn-tay, with the accent on the second syllable. Being Spanish in origin, the name was first applied to an American newspaper ini New Orleans a century ago. The word has many meanings, but the one from which the newspaper derived its name is a short writing or manuscript easily disseminated: it generally contains some satire or libel. The aim of The Volante, however, has been to serve the best interests of Grand Island College through its services as a newspaper and promoter. 0315-91923 UH'
