Mr. Waidelich Mr. Oeste Students' Association S Tl-lE largest organization in the school, the Students' Association unites the students of Olney into one organized group, which serves as the basis for student participation. The right to become a member of this association is attained by the purchase each term of a membership card, which entitles the owner to participation in all extra-curricular activities. At the beginning of each term the association elects officers who act as intermediaries between the students and the faculty, The sponsors of the various activities of the Students' Association do much to aid the officers of this organiza- tion by offering their advice:- The general supervision of the Students' Association is allotted to Mr. I.. F. Waidelich, whereas the Senate and the l-louse of Representatives are under the sponsorship of Mr. Glenn and Mr. Oeste, respect- ively. The problem of an athletic field has long been a matter of interest to the Students' Association. While the site has already been attained, money is needed to condition the field. Therefore, steps were taken and the Board of Education will appropriate 525,000 as soon as Dr. Broome gives his consent. Another new matter taken up this term is that of student cases. Petty infringers, such as smokers, are now brought before Fred Weber, president of the Stu- dent Association, instead of a board of senators as heretofore. lt is in dealing with matters such as these that the Students' Association affords to many students train- ing for leadership and organization, and to the entire student body invaluable experience in the duties of citizenship. f ' 1 9 3
