DORM COUNCIL and MEN’S UNION The first record of a dormitory or- ganization dates from 1940 when an or- ganization was formed representing worn en. Representation varied as dormitory space was modified for the increasing en- rollment. a growing per cent of which was men. In 1944, representatives from the four classes along with three other officers were chosen, a practice which still con- tinues. The purpose of the Dormitory Coun- cil is to govern dormitory life and enrich it socially. The Council holds bi- monthly meetings to solve dormitory problems and to plan house meetings and birthday suppers. Orientation Week and the Christmas Craft Party were highlights of the social activities of the Council this year. In 1954 the men students formed a Men’s Union which is comparable in form and purpose to the Dormitory Council. Many improvements have been made by the Union in the men’s dormitory, the most noticeable of which was the refinish- ing of the men’s lounge.

Duncan BOARD The Student Government Executive Board began as a school organization in 1936 while Lyndon was still a small normal school, but expanding every year. Today, the Executive Board is the governing body of students at Lyndon Teachers College. Its purposes are to bring the students to a better understanding of and a greater responsi- bility in the government of the student body and to maintain a closer relationship between the students and the faculty. Their special activities are limited in num- ber. but valuable in achieving their purposes. T hese activities include organizing Clean-up Day in the spring of each year, sponsoring stu- dents to various educational conferences, setting up the budget for the school organizations, and presiding over all student government meetings. 28 i

At that time, the newspaper was called the Ver- lynette and was a bi-monthly mimeo- graphed paper. The Verlynette became known in 1947 as the Echo, and in 1950 as The Blue Sheet. In the fall of 1955. the name was changed to the Lyn-News. The Lyn-News was a weekly mim- eographed newspaper during that year with the commencement issue marking the greatest change in the history of the school newspaper. This issue was the first printed newspaper of the college.
