 he 1928 R i m r o c k 23 Student Council The Council is made up of seven students who meet with the president and aid in the governing of the student activities. Four of the members, Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Iyda Henkel, Miss Carolyn Pilgcram and Mr. Willard Paulson are representatives of the senior class. Three members, Miss Margaret Griffing, Miss Hilfred Paterson and Miss Grace Yost represent the junior class. Dr. McMullen called the first meeting of the Council October twenty-sixth. The following officers were elected: president, Lela Henkel; vice-president, Grace Yost, and secretary, Carolyn Pilgeram. In January Miss Yost was called home and Miss Kathleen Dawson took her place as a member of the Council. There is no special meeting time for this organization. A meeting may be called whenever occasions arise that call for the jurisdiction of the Council. It approves all expenditures of the Student Activity Fund and consults with Dr. McMullen regarding all other school activities.

The 19 2 8 Ri m r o c k 25 « School had been in session twenty days when the student body met in the dining room of the Billings Commercial Club and partook of its first assembly luncheon. This was only an introduction to what was to follow. It was decided at this gathering to make it a weekly affair. On Friday, September 30, the student body again assembled at the Commercial Club and the K. N. M. S. Luncheon Club was brought into being with a membership of about 150 students. As a result of the election held that day Miss Beatrice VVhitford was made president. Miss Catherine Laux, vice-president. Mr. Leon Foote, Jr., secretary, and Miss Iva Stevens, treasurer. Since then the club has met for lunch every week, this being our only general assembly. So far as is known this is entirely a unique and original organization, the E. M. N. S. being the only college in the United States to use it. Each week four students arc selected from the student body to prepare a program for the following week. One member of the group acts as chairman, no one person being chairman twice in one year. In this way we have secured a variety of interesting programs. At 12:15 the meeting is called to order and a grace is either sung by the student body or given by one of its members. During the course of the meal we practice original school songs. Announcements are made and guests arc introduced. If there is anything that needs the sanction of the student body the matter is discussed and passed upon at this time. This is followed by a musical program or a talk by some friend of education. At times no outside guests arc present and we have a general stunt luncheon. These arc great fun and are of the highest order as mixers. Among our out-of-town guests for this year were Governor Erickson who gave the March Commencement address; Chancellor Brannon who spoke on human kindness, saying that our luncheon club gatherings were in line with some of the things educational authorities are endeavoring to accomplish throughout the country, which are, humanizing education and developing an ideal of kindliness and sympathy; Senator B. K. Wheeler who shoWcd us the value of higher education; Mrs. B. K. Wheeler who gave us a short review of her trip around the world; and Mr. William Ellsworth, former president of the Century Publishing company. At other times our local business men have contributed to our programs. This is what we sing first: The more we are together, together, together, The more we arc together the merrier we’ll be. For your friends are my friends And my friends are your friends, So the more we are together the happier we 11 be.
