Executive Council MAn organization of great worth and abilityfi This is what has been said of the Council in past Trailmarkers. The Council has guided the class in its activities and made decisions on important questions as well as chosen committees for prom, dinner dance, and trip, and collected dues with unfailing accuracy each dues day. The main purpose of this small group, consisting of the four class officers and a representative from each group, is to give the students an opportunity for expression. Cabinet members bring questions, suggestions, and complaints from the student to their meetings. Action is then taken on the proposed changes. rw X F Q ' C You know, if the class is to get what it wants it has to l have representatives to tell the sponsors about their wishes. Tliat's just what the executive council's duty is. One person from each advisory section is picked to serve on ,l the council. 42

PROPHECY unsettled today. Leonard McMeen dirigibles are up. Henry Dickhonor saddles are stable. Helen Romanoif ink went down a point. Smith Brothers took another drop. - Heres an inno- vation. Wesley jones and Raymond Geist in their foundry are making pots and pans out of airplanes for the Mary Lowe Kitchenware Company. It is for their exhibition on the ninth floor of the Doris Mull Department Store. 'The Store for Spifty People. --- Mmmm. Ninth Hoor. Where did I hear that before? Oh yes! I'm still lost. This sign says fthe seventh floori'. That chute between the doctoris office and the mortuary must have carried me down. Ah! An oasis. An information booth operated by Marie Krauss. Pardon me, but could you direct me to the ninth floor? 'fWalk down this hall past Edward Soltis's radio shop, turn left at the cosmetic store owned by Alma Rozov and Evelyn Morrow, and down the steps to the store owned by Robert Ken- nedyf' . . .Why should she send me there? I want to go upstairs. - Here's the place. UHello! Welcome to Kennedys emporium of mine stores and suppliesf' fMine stores? I said ninth floor. She ought to go to Esther Hershman to have her hearing tested, or I should go to Amedio Mor- rone to have my speech corrected. It couldn't be I. I could speak when I was a year old, but I have to hand it to job. The Bible says he cursed the day he was born.. .Well, here I go again. I wish Mrs. Rotman was here to guide me. Offices, offices, names, professions, secretaries. Can't let go of yourself like that, Herb. Not when Jane McVeagh, Betty Krall, Miriam Frazier, and Dorothy Herndon want their classmates to know they are secretaries in this building. Not when Francis Tucker, Benny Weintraub, and George Snyder have worked up to high executive offices. You have to carry on. Ninth floor, remember? Oh yes. Well, here I go again. They ought to call me Perpet- ual Motion Simon, but there's a limit. I'll ask everyone on this floor, and I'll take an average. ...What a slew of directions! Andrew Yeatts, putting down his monkey-wrench, told me to go south, but I ducked. Attorneys Frank Wisher and Donald Frey wih their secretaries Grace Tepper and Beatrice Elliot told me to go West. If I went as far west as they told me to, I'd probably meet the spirit of Horace Greeley walking back. Isabel Meurer and Ethel Holmes told me to take the stairs on the right. I wouldn't know where to take them if I had them. I should have known better than ask Doris Ewing and Dorothy Mellar. They were so wrapped up in their dress busi- ness that they told me it was on the bias. Wo- men are all bias. It's bias this and bias that.- Two of them told me to go up these stairs. I think that this time I'll take some escorts to make sure. ...Now Ilm settled wih five escorts. I took Katherine McGonigle and Josephine Kelly away from their bookkeeping machines, Lor-1 raine Lang away from her dictaphone, Edith Koerner from her comptometer, and Dorothy Hogan from her typewriter. - This is defin- itely the ninth floor. Thanks for the help, girlsf! - There's the place. Ships, Inc. Why are those tive men standing outside? They won't let anyone into the office. They must be pickets. Seeing that they are Charles Tier- ney, john Wilson, Anthony Fusco, Ralph Weber, and Arthur Townsend, I can get rid of them. Oh, girls! Come back here. I want you to. . . psst. . .psst.!' . . .Those ladies' men donit have any self- control. Each picked a girl and went away with her. . . .I got past the four secretaries com- paratively easily. Elsie Faulkner and Elizabeth Moore were a little difficult, but Marie Miller and Mildred Lamar were cinches. Here is the door to the inside office. What does this sign say? Oh! I'm undone, sunk, crushed. just look what that sign says, 'tOut To Launchf' I dreamed it in a dream. - Herbert Simon. -9
