Luncheon Club The Luncheon C lub, a pioneer organization of its type not onl in our scIkkjI hut in the United States, was organized by Dr. McMullen in 1927. It is a service as well as a social club, taking the place of a usual weekly assembly. Its membership is drawn from the student body and faculty. Attendance is optional, but those who are truly members of the school find it both profitable and entertaining to attend. The club meets each Wednesday in the dining room of the C ommercial C'lub. Officers are elected each quarter In the students. 'The president of the club selects a chairman for each week, who arranges the program and presides over the meeting after the conclusion of the regular business of the club. The programs are delightfully entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. They are usually of school talent.

Student Council The student council lias established an enviable record for efficient, far-seeing and harmonious conduct. It has a dual personality. It was organized early in 1927-28 to act as an unofficial guide to the president of the Kastern Montana Normal School. It was not. and is not, a police body, and it is not a tale-bearing body. In its weekly meetings it frames policies for the good of the institution. Its job is to see that things move, and that they move in the right direction with the right speed and at the right time. Its second capacity is that of custodian tor student funds. All budgets for student activities—athletics, debate, dramatics, social gatherings, picnics, and others must be acted upon by the student council. The school could not get along without it and the individuals elected to it receive a valuable training in its service. 1251
