He likes to play golf, to take automobile trips, and to read his- tory, economics, an occasional novel, and the current magazines that stress politics and social problems. Dr. Haggard also enjoys his daily one-and-a-half mile walk to school. Mr. Ira D. Yaggy, well-liked College Dean, received his masters degree from the University of Chicago. He was elected president of the Illinois junior College Conference and also holds the position of vice-president of the Uni- versity of Illinois Teachers' Conference. He is fond of flowers, and gardening is a much enjoyed summer diversion for him. IXIiss Myra Mather, beloved dean of lkiomen, received her master's degree from the University of Illinois. She also attended the University of llerlin, Ger- many, for a year. She enjoys traveling. reading, and attending the theatre. Miss Pauline Ilillman, college libra- rian, has attended the University of llli- nois. She is interested in her work and has written articles that appear in the 'Iunior College Journal. This year she has devoted much time to a comprehen- sive study of library equipment and ar- rangement, in view of remodeling the present library. Grace S-tadler, secretary to Dean Yaggy, was graduated from the Ioliet -lunior College. She is a loyal supporter of and an enthusiastic participant in many student activities. TI-IE STUDENT COUNCIL NVith a firm conviction that some- thing was going to be done this year. the student council went to work in earnest, and really made some note- worthy accomplishments. The reins of administration were in the hands of Norman Iflitterman, presi- dent, assisted by Helen Kelly, vice-pres- ident, with Henry Luccock transcribing all transactions. Mr. R. L. Ifrisbie was the faculty guiding hand. A Booster Board was established in order to give publicity to all college af- fairs, so that not only would collegians know what was going on in the school, but the public would also be well in- formed. The Booster I-loard helped any bewildered publicity committee in mak- ing smooth connections for newspaper and radio notices. Because the present council constitu- tion had beconie out-moded and was not adaptable to the best interests of the college, a new one was adopted. Its out- standing features provided for a more equal representation of the students in the council, fairer election laws to govern student elections, and a better means of checking expenditures from the student activity tees. In sponsoring school dances, the usual practice was to appoint one council meni- ber as dance chairman and give him power to choose his own committee from outside the council. XYith this plan the council not only had more time to dis- cuss other problems, but more students were given the chance to help with school dances. Tl-IE AUTUMN
