The student body should be commended for its initiative and cooperative spirit in fostering a more active student life on the campus this year. Those largely responsible are Olav Sola, president, Harold Falkenberg, vice presi- dent, Deloris Grubb, secretary, and lames Anderson, treasurer. Working with them on the board of control are Niel Hoff, advertising commissioner, Ruth Bengtson, senior representative, Merle Palmer, junior representative, Ursula MacDonald, sophomore representative, Elmer Buringrud, freshman representative, and Una May Clement, high school representative. Aims for the year were to increase interest in the spiritual life for which purpose the college was foundedg to bring about closer relationships within the student body and between students and faculty, and to better our inter-collegiate relations. Outstanding events sponsored by the student body were: the All-School Mixer, Homecoming, and the Football Banquet held at the Winthrop Hotel to again honor our championship team. Other high points were the Lyceum programs, the Saga carnival, Campus Day, and the May Day festival. Closing the year's festivities was the all-school picnic to which our neigh- bors, the Loggers of C. P. S., were invited. The students did their part for the Red Cross, and the community Chest. For the Golden Iubilee they raised money by forming competitive teams. A new committee, the Social Board, was organized to coordinate the activities of all clubs and to make for more social affairs during the year. Those working on this committee were Ruth Bengtson, Priscilla Preus, and Olav Sola. This group also called student leaders together to discuss school problems. Scholtische parties in the gym and the establishment of a recreation room in the main building have added zest to student life. Student decoration of the chapel and the newly adopted policy of having student speakers take charge of exercises once a week have enriched the chapel hour.
