ICC Supervises Carnival With club presidents represent¬ ing their respective clubs, the Inter-club Council proved to be an effective organization this year. One of its projects was to clear grounds for a park where picnics and other school activities may be held in the future. Under the supervision a Winter Carnival was held in late February in which individual clubs set up booths for their own money-mak¬ ing projects. Campaign posters urge students to vote for Lamar Helms for ICC president. The I.C.C. meets every Monday in order to co-ordinate all club plans for the week. President Lamar Helms assigns members to serve as com¬ mittee chairmen for the Carnival. 32 Chris McCrackin and Gloria Forest make sport of Mike Outen, who was imprisoned by the I.R.C. at the Carnival.
