F RS EDITIIINS EXECUTIVE, JUDICIAL GROUPS DIRECT LEBANONIANS All past election records went into the discard as Thomas L. Christian was refelected President by a landf slide vote. Witli the capitol recently changed and now located at the Lebanonian city, September 7, 1936 ushered in some seven hundred and fifty conf gressmen, who were enroute to the north wing of the Capitol building where they were to organize. At the sound of the gavel, the President welcomed the assembly and delivered his annual address to the legislative body, during which he outf lined the general routine of business for the nine months' session. The President attended Lebanon high school and graduated from that institution in 1912. Later he attendf ed Wabrisli, where he received his A. B. and A. M. degrees, returning to Lebanon to teach mathematics and finally to assume the distinction as head of this department. Miss Grace Etchison, vicefpresif dent, started as a teacher of English in L. H. S. in 1918 with an A. B. degree from Indiana university. For a few years she assisted in the Latin department, in 1928 she became dean of girls, and at the present time she is assistant principal of the high school. In the Department of State the historians and economists supervised foreign affairs and kept the public inf formed of diplomatic relations. Miss Lydia Bell, who received her B. S. degree from Indiana State Normal, was appointed secretary of the def partment with Miss Lillian Witt, also an Indiana State Normal graduate, and Glenn Neeves, an Indiana uni' versity alumnus, as underfsecretaries. The French ambassadoress to our democracy, Madame Madeleine Cain, and the Italian minister, Miss Doro' thy Masters, a DePauw graduate with 1 her A. B. degree, have their embasf sies in and near Lebanon. Mr. Arthur Sims, Secretary of the Treasury Department, is responsible for the safefkeeping of the revenue and their disbursements. Miss Helen Kenworthy, Mrs. LaVerne Endicott, and Miss Ruth Brookshire efliciently aid him in collecting taxes and inter' nal revenue. Paul Butch Neuman, with a B. S. degree from Purdue, is head of the War Department. This year sixteen cadets made up his general staff and saw action in twenty battles. AttorneyfGeneral Walter Tyre has been a member of the cabinet since 1928 and has ten worthy probaf tion officers under his guiding hand. Miss Marie Shanks, Secretary of Interior fDecorationl, is head of the fact finding department for internal improvement. Mr. Maurice M. Jones conducts the scientific research and makes a biologf ical survey as head of the Agriculture Department and for many years has aided in forest preservation and find' ing new uses for farm products. Conducting commercial relations, such as only our country has, is no easy taskg but after several years of experience in the technical points of trade obligations, Mrs. Violet McColf ley was appointed to engineer the Def partment of Commerce. In an industrial age sanitary workf ing conditions must be fostered, so the Department of Labor was instituted. A bureau included under this def partment was created to forward high school experience in manual training and metal arts and is now headed by Voris Demaree, a Bradley Tech graduate. Mrs. Jeanette McQueen and Mrs. Drubelle Stephenson served as cof chairmen on a committee for super, vising domestic relations. Courses in vocational guidance were added to the curricula of our nations educaf tion facilities under the influence of these two prominent homemakers. An L. H. S. alumnus, graduate of Wzilaaisli college, and recipient of a Masters degree from the University of Illinois, Ralph Howard proved himself capable of assuming the re- sponsibilities as chief of the Chemical Vxfelfare Service. Under the new administration sevf eral projects saw their beginning. The W. P. A. Recreational Board was represented by Miss Elsie I-Iarrif son. The committee for encouraging higher vocal culture was influenced by Miss Alma McNeal, the music su' pervisor of the Lebanonians. Miss Mildred Rogers was appointf ed congressional librarian. The conf gressional record was made, and all proceedings were filed with Miss l'la:el Shahan, the Chief Justices clerk. Noted English professors who pro- nounced and enunciated their way into the senate chambers were Miss lvlary Ann Tauer, Nirs. Lila Shinn, and Mrs. Mary Ann Mclntyre. Mr. Charles E. A. Moore, of Wabash college, efliciently trained the less active legislators in the fine points of arguing. Last but by no means least of our governmental departments is the L. H. S. Supreme Court, composed of four blackfrobed justices. Chief jusf tice Paul Van Riper and Associate judges Stanley Jones, George Palmer, and Elmer Stark, consider the conf stitutionality of all proposed legislaf tion and render their decisions only after thoughtful deliberation. FLASH: Mrs. Doris Langjahr, owner of the Lebanonian newspaper, just arrived to lobby in congress for abolishing sensational journalism. She was accompanied by a group of her staff led by the Army band, directed by Marvin Richey. Quite a gala aff fair!
