Executive Board Sum m er '47 After two weeks of one of the most vigorous campaigns in the school's history, final elections revealed the S'47 Executive Board officers. Donald Rebeck undertook the responsibilities of the stu- dent body president. Tom Bush, as vice-president, took care of all social affairs. The gigantic personality of Dick Blades took over the office of commissioner of public arts, to give Sparta some rip-roaring assemblies. The ever-smiling face of Jo Craun took charge of the Inter-Club Council and Spartan politics, through her oliice of commissioner of welfare. Responsible for co- ordination of all spring sport events was Commissioner of Ath- letics Harold Rebeck. The voice coming -over the noon broadcast asking Spartans to throw your papers in the can belonged to Art Dean, commissioner of regulations. Proving that the pen is mightier than the sword, Terry Ann Thompson, commissioner of records, took up at least half of the board meetings reading her minutes. Of course there was always time for Paul Smith to put in his two cents' telling about the 150 posters he hung for a recent dance. Old Money Bags, otherwise known as Bob Gar- ren, won the race for commissioner of finance Cn-ot that he was the only one runningj. It 'meant spending a lot of ti'me in the accounting oiiice for Bob and his staff. Ik Sk Sli Pl! DF P!!

DEMETRIOUS ANTONIADIS Student Body President Executive Board Winter '47 With Demetrious Antoniadis leading as president, the Execu- tive Board saw one of its most successful semesters. Despite the rain, a paper drive was held, with gratifying results. This board was the first to attempt a student council meeting daily. Bruce Blackhorn, popular vice-president, acted as chairman of the stu- dent body dances, while Don Rebeck as commissioner of public arts, arranged and opened assemblies. Dick Blades took over all phases of noon recreation as commission of regulations. Super- vision of elections and presiding over the inter-club council were among duties of the commissioner of welfare, lovely blonde Lora Steele. As commissioner of athletics, Balty Gasporra ably han- dled athletic events, while Neil Gary excelled as commissioner of publicity. Bob Garren, commissioner of finance, handled the student body funds and Rebecca Wood recorded executive board 'minutes as part of her work as commissioner of records. In addition to in-dividual services, the student body -officers represented Sparta so well and worked together so efficiently that the executive board of '47 will be long remembered.
