The lirst meeting was held on October 7, I9 16. The following ollicers were elect- ed lo preside over the meetings: Presi- clrnt, lticliard Nlowerg Vice-President.. .-Xrvene llamg Secretary, Mary Chap- man: Treasurer, Charles Russell. It was decided to assemble every other Mon- day in lioom 3 to discuss and make de- cisions upon any problems which might c'onl'ront the council. I Last year an Athletic Association was established by a decision made by the Student Council. .Because of the estab- lishment of the association, problems have been fewer for the council. The association attends to all problems con- cerning athletics, which in previous years was taken care of by the Student Council. The council decided not to purchase a motion picture projector with the magazine money this year, but to spend lhe money for any emergency which might occur. Other problems of less importance have also been taken up by the Student tlouncil this year and as the year ad- vances we hope to really accomplish something. Mary Chapman '47

There were twenty-two of ns then. lVe were sorry to have Richard Braley, who joined us in October, leave soon afterwards, and to have Chelsea Tozier leave us in November. In De- cember, however, Arnold Halford be- came a member of our class, which brought our class membership back to twenty-two. In a few weeks time we had elected the following class officers: President, Webster Baird, Vice-President, Linea Pearson, Secretary, Ioan Morgan, Treas- urer, Harold Carson. On the iirst of November we filled the auditorium with thrills and chills when we put on a Halloween assembly pro- gram and presented a play, The Soft- Hcarted Ghostfi Our class has been well represented on the cub basketball teams. On the girls' team are: Marjorie McDougal, .loan Morgan, joan NVyman, Linea Pearson, Patricia Bragg, Gwendolyn Wright, and Priscilla Estes. On the boys' team are: Webster Baird, Harold Carson, Clifton Russell, llaym-ond Mar- tin, Edward Hall, lVayne Libby, and Edwin Littlefield. All in all, our first year at H.

f30l THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association, organized late in the spring of 1946, got under way again this year by electing officers to re- place those who were graduated last June. The present officers are: Presi- dent, Kenneth Pelkie, Vice-President, Blaine Mower, Secretary, Ina McCor- quindale, Treasurer, Lyda Spaulding. The representatives are: Track, Richard Mower, baseball, Linwood Wheelerg softball, Ruth Ena Brittaing cross coun- try, Hubert Herseyg girls, varsity basket- ball, Diana Webber, boys' varsity bas- ketball, Ashley Park-er, boys, cubs, Al- bert Strombackg girls, cubs, Marilyn Brookerg winter sports, Pauline NVheeler. The meetings are held every other Monday afternoon in Room 3. This association takes care of all problems pertaining to athletics and there certainly are a lot of them. The association, after many heated discussions, decided to start the season with a budget of five hundred dollars and allotted each team fifty dollars. XVe divided the sports up into ten teams, with basketball making up four teams. We also had two bleachers built so that our many basketball fans could sit down when they came to the games. The association passed a rule that anyone going out for sports must pur- chase a student ticket at two dollars. Happily, everybody did, because we didn't want to deprive anyone of the pleasure of a sport because he diglnit have the money. Another thing we have done this year is organize a squad of cheerleaders. We purchased their uniforms and we think lhey have done a marvelous job for their firstycar. They certainly help out at the games. The Athletic Association receives the proceeds from the coke machine that was installed last year. If we didn'tf have that coke machine we would have plenty of headaches trying to keep within our budget. licrc's hoping the Athletic Associa- tion of .lfartland Academy will always remain on top and that fi'ee speech will always prevail at their meetings.
