GIRLS LEAGUE BOARD Every girl attending Hastings High School automatically becomes a member of this league. The girls from each class, in turn, elect three representatives to act on the board. The purpose of this organization is to pro- mote social life and further a democratic spirit among the girls. A “Big Sister assembly was held this year at which all new and freshman girls were given an upperclassman, or “Big Sister,” to help them get acquainted and learn the ways of high school. A Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored by the Girls League Board and Girl Reserves jointly. It was the first dance of this type ever given in H. H. S. Officers of this year’s board are: president, Agnes Thompson; vice-president, Merilyn Zuttermeister; secretary, Joan Moore; treasurer, Beverly Myers. The faculty advisers are Miss Dontje and Mrs. Burrell. Mrs. Hamilton was also an adviser but because of ill health had to resign from the board. ♦ ♦ FACULTY-STUDENT COUNCIL The council is made up of representatives from freshman and sophomore homerooms, officers of the junior and senior classes, com- missioners, representatives from F. F. A., B. U. C., and G. L. B., the student athletic treasurer, and a faculty member. Mayor Dolan was in charge, and officers were elected as follows: vice-chairman, Milo Coldren; secretary, Lois Campbell; treasurer, Jim Burns. Phil Frandsen, public service chief, was put in charge of waste paper collection. A stamp and bond committee was organized by the council with George Walton as chair- man. Every Tuesday brought the plea for greater sales of stamps and bonds from George Wal- ton or Jim Burns, and Thursdays, a plea for waste paper by Phil Frandsen. At the beginning of the second semester these officers were chosen: vice-chairman, Fred McDonald; secretary, JoAnne Finnie; treas- urer, Dick Feldpausch. The new class officers were also present. A courtesy month was set up during which a court was formed. Traffic Commissioner John Malcolm and his able-bodied assistants held order throughout the school. All violators of the courtesy rules were tried before Chief Justice Paul Myers and the court. If found guilty, certain privileges were removed for a time. This court was continued the rest of the year. ♦ ♦ BOYS UNION COUNCIL The Boys Union Council was under the guidance of President Dick Foster, Vice-presi- dent Jim Coleman, Sergeant-at-arms Shirley Henry, and Mr. Taylor, adviser. In the first week of school the council put on a get-acquainted assembly to introduce the freshmen to the rest of the school. The as- sembly was conducted as a quiz with the teachers as contestants and freshman names for the questions. The losers, in order from the lowest to the highest, were to be put in charge of pep assemblies for the coming year. Next on the list of activities was the fall dance, “Hunters Hop,” with different boys’ or- ganizations as the committees. The Hi-Y was in charge of refreshments, the F.F.A., decora- tions, and the B. U. C., the rest of the details. The second semester administration changed with Jim Coleman, president, because Dick Foster was elected senior class president and couldn’t hold both positions. The semester continued with little activity radiating from B. U. C., as they seemed to be resting on their laurels.
