Long black robes were the attire of those solemn upperclassmen who as members of the Student Court met in several sessions last fall to help fresh- men become good Midlanders. Jim Youngquist, as chief justice of the court, wielded the gavel and was assisted by associate justices Ruth Bergfelder, Rich Clough, Trudy Nolte, Bill Norvell and Donna Splinter. Wil- lard J. Congreve, instructor in piano, acted as faculty adviser. Freshman rules required all first- year students to wear caps and arm- bands, remain seated in chapel until upperclassmen had left, attend all home football games, button” and pose” and comply with reasonable requests by upperclassmen. Infractions of these rules resulted in the carrying out of sentences appro- priate to the offenses. The freshman victory in the tug-of-war between halves of the Homecoming game in October marked the end of the rules as well as the services of the court. Page 57

Through its facilities, student affairs on the campus were regulated and coordinated and a closer understanding between stu- dents and faculty was achieved. Climaxing his three previous years of service on the Council, Gene Vosseler this year was president of the Midland student body. Bill Lyders held the position of vice- president while Phyllis Lierk served in the capacity of secretary-treasurer. In his first year as adviser to the Council was Pro- fessor Edwin E. Prauner, who also served as director of student affairs. Appointing of members of the Student Court and supervising of the freshman class election were some of the year's first routine events to come under the jurisdiction of this body. Another function was the designating of all-college games of the football and bas- ketball seasons. Student Council was spon- sor of the second annual all-college Christ- mas party held the evening before students left the campus for the holidays. Through the efforts of this group, the Stu- dent Union was made more accessible to Midlanders for recreational purposes during week-ends, and a plan was inaugurated by which funds were raised to be used in the remodeling of the rooms. Representing the various classes on the Council were Paul Kuenning, senior; Glenn Tabor, junior; Loyal Mortensen and Charles Clark, sophomore; and Bill Christensen and Wilford Thieme, freshman.

Cardinal Cardinal Koy's Scholarship Tea found Mrs. Sara Hawkin- son presiding at the refresh- ment tablo. Cardinal Key taps into its membership Midland women who have proved them- selves outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship, service, loyalty and character. Under the leadership of President Ruth Bergfelder, Cardinal Key embarked upon a year of service and activity which began with the welcoming of newcomers to the campus at the opening of school in the fall. In October this nalional honorary service sorority again took a leading part in campus affairs by directing Guidance Week and entertaining former members at the tradi- tional Homecoming breakfast at Salem Lu- theran Church. Other highlights of the year were the Scholarship Tea in February, honoring Mid- land women and Fremont High School senior girls with high scholastic achieve- ments, and formal dinner and initiation of new members in April at which alumnae were guests. Another major spring event was the initiation of the Wesleyan chapter of Cardinal Key by the Midland group.
