J Ruth Beckley, May Hewitt, Nina Yarson, Glenn XVilber. ELIGIBILITY COMMITTEE Behold! The famous four who dominate. control, and exercise complete authority over us, the poor, unfortunate students. They allow us only eight points for outside activities and at times it seems as though they place an unreasonable number of points on each thing we want to do. But we submit to the rulings of this group, for they have been appointed by Principal Williarii Prakken, whose word is law. Nevertheless, the eligibility committee. in its first year, has proved of real value to the school. It has not only taken care that activities were evenly distributed among the students, but has awakened the school to the fact that only 400 out ofthe entire student body are interested in any activity, and this has been responsible for the organizing of new clubs. Glenn XYilber and Ruth Beckley, chosen as student representatives of the entire student body, are about the two hardest working pupils in the school, and Miss May Hewitt, general chairman, is continually' harassed by demands on her time. Miss Nina Varson is faculty representative. Iligt' Orr lfzuzdwd Om'
