20 THE CARDINAL - 1932 May Day Festival In the spring a young man's fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of love --and May Queens! Or so it seems in Lakewood this year, for once again the student body chose and chose wisely from the Court of the Senior Class the Queen of the May. Helen Freed, so completely representative of Maytime and Seniors, with all of the handicaps of an indoor coronation ceremony, was indeed, Queen Helen. The regal note of the ceremony was struck by the band in its March, and held by King Winter fmore jovial than we ever believed him to bej in the person of Millard Wilson, partly, and not in any sense loathe to relinquish his throne. Of course, credit must be accorded King Winter's right hand man, his Master of Ceremonies, Robert Nichols, for he mastered the occasion. After the suspense of minutes, enter the Senior girls, and there, apart from the others, the Queen attended by her Maid-of-Honor, Virginia Stafford. Who could but be subservient to such royalty, chosen by popular vote from the roy- alty of the Senior class? The Coronation ceremony was the beginning of further festivities of Vis- iting Day, including track and field events. We enjoyed our visiting day, neigh- boring friends, and we trust you too, look back upon it, with pleasure.

Neola Fry The Freshmen sponsors are Mr. Swanson and Miss Bahringer, under whose capable guidance the year has been an eventful and enjoyable one. Both the boys and the girls inter-class basketball teams were well repre- sented, both sides winning many games. Charlotte Klock and Margaret Brook were chosen by popular vote to represent the class at Fredonia on Play Day. The Freshmen Assembly was held late in October so the class worked out a Hallowe'en entertainment. The Annual Freshman Party was held at Bonita. It proved very successful and a good though rather exciting time was had by all. We look forward with great anticipation to our Sophomore year. Neola Fry, '33.

Q CDRGANIZATICJNS fa THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is the representative of the student body. The stu- dents have the privilege of bringing up any complaint or idea of betterment connected with the school before the council by way of their home room repre- sentatives, there it is discussed, and either the alteration is made or well grounded reasons for not doing so are given. The members are elected by popu- lar vote, and are representative of the most dependable and most trustworthy students. The following people are members: Mr. Mathewson N Miss sfheibie T Advisors Virginia Stafford Robert Nichols f Senior Representatives Jeanette Freed Thomas P rceu i junior Representatives u Mary Frances Isbell F Richard Nichols r Freshman Reperesentatives Evelyn Bemus Ralph Bennett e Sophomore Representatives Helen Freed Girls' Glee Club Representative jack Smith Orchestra Representative At the first part of the year the meetings were held after school in the music room, but later it was decided to hold them in the Domestic Science room during lunch hour. This proved much more enjoyable and more convenient. Last year the council started the idea of all-activities emblems, to be given to the student whose school rating was superior, in scholarship, sports, and oth- er activities. This year stars were chosen to be put on the emblems. The Council also started an enjoyable social hour this year, at which the students could either dance, play cards, or converse. The purpose of the Student Council is to bring about better cooperation be- twen students and teachers. We sincerely hope that it will continue to grow, and will come to be even a greater part of the students than it is today. E. B. ,35
