RUSSELL LEEPER, industrious president of the Student Council, has brought about many worthwhile activities. He is also active in other campus affairs. PLECTED BY POPULAR vote in April, the Stu- dent Council holds power from May until the same time during the next school year. Entrusted with the governing of 4,000 students, the nine members of the Council occasionally dis- cipline students who violate laws stated in the Student Governing Association constitution, although that task usually falls to the Council vice-president. Other activities of the Council were the sponsor- ing school pep, including pep rallies and free shows, S.G.A. varsities, and a celebrity series that brought outstanding entertainers to the campus. Council members this year included Russell Leeper, president; Bob Kauifman, vice-president; Ethel Haller, secretary; June Darby, Joe Redmond, Betty Higdon, Jim Stockman, Rex Cudney, and Bill Beezley. Students consider it a high honor to be elected to membership on the Student Council, and political bat- tles ensue at every election. DISCUSSING PLANS for some needed reforms are Student Council members {lejt to right, around table) Bill Beerley, Rex Cudney, Jim Stockman, Bob Kauff- man, Russ Leeper, Ethel Haller, June Darby, Joe Red- mond, and Betty Higdon.

Dance Manager Kenny Con- well and assistant Arlin Ward saw to it that every- one had more than his share of fun, even if the crowd was such that couples didn ' t have their share of room. Conwell was appointed by the Student Council, and to him fell the duties of advertising, setting dates, arranging for orchestras, taking tickets at the door, and making the books balance at the end of the month. Cab Calloway, nationally known swing artist, and his band were on the campus for a varsity, also spon- sored by the S.G.A. Students swarmed the gym and even packed the balcony to hear the famous hi-de-ho rhythm of the maestro.
