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

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.

22 THE CARDINAL - 1932 The Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club, under Miss Flohr's capable leadership is emerging from a most successful year with no debts, some extra money, and many suc- cessful public appearances to its credit. In December, 1931, the club pre- sented the memorable 'Knicker-bocker Club for chapel-a night club scene with universally known vocalists and stars present who contributed to the pro- gram, such as Kate Smith, Ruth Etting, Polly Moran and Madame Schumann- Heink. Then came the annual operetta, which was rather brief this year be- cause the chapel program was to be repeated at the same time. Yet despite its brevity The Radio Maid was a successful venture. The cast was as follows: june Worthington .......,... .....,,.... J osephine Van Vlack Robert Holbrook ........ .......,................ L avern Waid Mr, Holbrook .........., .,,........

M ary Louise Coe Alice ........,,..................................,.,.......................,.,,......,..................... Mary Frances Isbell The Boys' Club Club assisted in the operetta. A dance at the village hall was held afterwards for the members of the cast and friends. After the operetta all attention was turned to Fredonia. Innumerable dif- ferences arose as to what the costume should be this year. Finally after much hair pulling and teeth clenching sweaters of blue and white were de- cided upon-which were very effective with the white skirts and which caused very favorable comment at Fredonia. Then, one mustn't forget the several bake sales scattered throughout the year to raise funds. Now a committee is planning a party for the girls-similar to last year's roller-skating affair which will be held in the immediate future. The last appearances of the Girls' Glee Club will be at the June Parent Teachers Meeting and at Commencement or Class Night.
