To represent the resident college men of Green Mountain Junior College in an official capacity incident to resident student life at the college. 2. To formulate, direct, and provide, with power to enforce. rules and regulations for the welfare of resident college men. Activities By creating the spirit of good fellowship through the sponsoring of such activities as steak roasts, by lending a guiding hand to fellow students through personal conferences, and by helping to build a mutual understanding between college men and the faculty, the 1936-37 council climbed to higher peaks in its attempt to make the life of resident men more meaningful and worthwhile. During the month of February the Council was re-organized after a brief conflict with the Faculty Committee over a matter of authority of the student government. The Council was not recognized as having the power to intervene in the suspension of two students and consequently its members resigned. A student protest, in the form of a one-day strike, followed, but conciliation was quickly reached between the students and the Faculty Committee when a new Council, the one pictured above, was elected by a popular vote.

SQCIAL ACTIVITIES BOY MEETS GIRL Characters : JOAN 13I.AINETNCXW' student matrieulating at G. BI. J. C. KENNI-:'ru KoRNELL-Same as above. ACT I SCENE I A New Stzulcnt Arrives. Lucky in studies, unlucky in affairs of the heart. That motto seemed to be .loan's. Surveying Green Mountain campus with its beautiful green lawns and old trees with their wealth of foliage, she wondered if she could not now beat the jinx. Students were all actively busy making friends and discussing the merits of their new school. One topic of conversation that surpassed all others was of the coming Freshman Party. Everyone attended, with or without an escort. .loan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. SCENE II Frrnshfnzavl. Party-Scpfcvnlnfl' 19, 1936. Joan was all aglow when she arrived at the gym where the introduction of faculty and students was to take place. Like all Freshmen she wore a placard bearing her name and address. After her introduction, Jack Heffernan, noting her hometown, escorted her to a group who were also of the same state. Among them was a young man, Ken Kornell, who came from the neighboring town. He asked Joan to dance, after which they mingled with the other students. Refreshments were served and soon the evening came to an end. Joan went to bed with a date for the following day, and happiness in her heart. SCENE III Back Ca1npu.s'--Sepfzfmbcr 26, 1936. The week-end following the Freshman Party was the contest of strength between Sophomores and Freshmen. The Sophomores, realizing that the only way to win would be to kidnap some Freshmen, confiscated a truck and twenty-six Freshmen were taken for a ride. Much to the dismay of the Sophomores, all Freshmen ap- peared for the Flag Rush. In the last forty-five seconds left to play, Carl King captured the Hag, making the Freshmen victorious. Even to the tug-of-war, the Frosh reigned supreme, but, of course, only due to the bank caving in on the Sophomore side.
