The subjects discussed have ranged from proposals to provide informa- tion about senior colleges for interested ,I.C. stu- dents . . . to plans for the bang-up success of the homecoming parade. Another project of the Coun- cil's, though little publicised, has been the Speak- er's Bureau, which went into a quiet operation at the close of this school year. The Bureau, organ- ized to introduce Junior College more extensively to the community, and, incidently, to give the J.C. speakers a chance to take the rostrum before some of the City's civic organizations. These and other brain children, may well earn for the first session of the Council, a secure repu- tation in the annals of Junior College student government. P President . . .

Here it is twelve-fifteen, the Tuesday before the League meetings and no Peg! i.e.: no Secretary. Thus Kay Olson, chairman of the Group Leaders Coun- cil tries to get the fifteen competent sophomores - leaders of the twenty girls in their groups - together each month to relay to them the activi- ties 'and business that the Executive Board has planned for that month. One of the events these girls plan is a series of teas given by the groups in the spring. These are the few opportunities the women have to show off their League room to the men of the school. These groups not only further social interests in the College but also each group pledges a mini- mum sum of fifteen dollars to the Women's League treasury for the purpose of Scholarships and the maintenance of the League Room. How- ever, the groups are never satisfied with just earn- ing their quota but instead' there is a mighty struggle to see which group can outsell the rest and turn in the most money. . The success of the Women's League depends mainly on the leadership of these fifteen women and the League has again been successful this year. President L. Kathryn Olson Secretary . . Peg Rittenger The highest tribunal of then: all.
