Student Council X 'E- N ff The Student Council for 1956-57 was composed of four sophomores: Bob Flynn, President, Diane Joyce,Secretary, Mike Flynn, Herb Gleason, and three freshmen: J. W. Wilson, Vice-President-Treas - uxer, Bob I-lohn es, and Langford B. Anderson. Our faculty advisor, who has been an invaluable asset,was Dr. Merrill. At the beginning of theyear, we set up various boards and committes to handle the different types of studentactivities. It then became their responsibility to plan and carry out social functions and athletic events, as well as to improve the school building. We have strived to settle a multitude of student problems before they were called to the attention of the Administration. It has been our purpose to be a policy-making council. As a result, we feel that not only this year the school has benefited, but that the policies that we have adopted will be beneficial to Newton Jtmior Col- lege in years to come. 18

The Publications Board The Publications Board, headed by John Whitney, includes the newspaper staff and yearbook com- mittee. This year, a few enterprising students started a newspaper, the Stoic, to act as the voice of the stu- dents, expressing their ideas and opinions. Bob Flynn, Lang Anderson, Merriam Knight, and Lyn Rowell were the original staff and responsible for getting it off to a good start. The present staff consists of Rob- ert Flynn, Editor-in-Chief, John Carr, Features Editor, and Merriam Knight, Business Editor. Bob was seen manya time intently at work behind the mimeographing machine trying, and succeeding in getting the copy out on time, not only this, but he also contributed many well written articles. Merriam gave generouslyofher time to selling and writing interesting anicles as well. Contributions came from many students, including Lynn Rowell, J. W. 'Wilson, Linnea Bjork, Ibby Ellis, Diane Joyce, and Bernie Mansur whose short story, Eight-Ball ,ranin several issues and was a great success. We hope that the Stoic con- tinues to grow and to fulfill its purpose. NJC's yearbook is entitled the Reflector, and, as the name implies it is a reflection of college activities during the year. This year it was headed by Ibby Ellis, Editor-in-Chief, Diane Joyce, Features Editor, and JackWhitney, Business Manager. The committee members were: Sylvia Diamond, Jim Sul- livan,ChuckRaworth,Jane Bailey,Ken Knox, Paul Toomey, Lyn Rowell, Bob Arnold, Bill Dunlavy, Mike Flynn, L. B. Anderson, Herb Gleason, Dick Barrette, and Dick Arnold. Under the able supervision ofthe editors, and with the advice ofMiss Miles,the various abilities of the committee members were discovered and put to good use. Thanks to their co -operation and hard work, and to the many students who helped and contributed although not on the committee, we have the 1957 REFLECTOR. . Q , qs 'S X . -.J V
