JTUDENT COUNCIL JPRINGBOARD Because of the increase of students in the college, the Student Council has been strengthened consid- erably with the mature views of the veterans who have enrolled. The enlarged student body and the many improvements in the building have pre- sented new problems which the student organiza- tion had to face throughout the year. During the past year, a great many changes have been witnessed in both the appearance and the content of the Springboard. Operating under a predominantly war-veteran staff, the school paper has returned to an improved, printed version with pictures and has aiTiliated itself with the Associated Collegiate Press.

W f § 4 A J t- FRESHMAN CLASS With the increase in enrollment this year, brought about by the influx of veteran students, the Freshman Class became a combination class. The older half, or upper class freshmen as they jokingly refer to themselves, were registered in February 1946, while the younger half of the group entered school in September of the same year. Composed almost entirely of veterans, the February half of the class contains the largest number of ex-servicemen in the college. The lone girl, charged with keeping all these former doggies, gobs, gyrenes, and fly boys in check, is Miss Dorothy Grieve. The September half of the freshmen contains three ex-servicegirls among its veterans. Class officers for the February freshmen include: John Lang, president; James Farquhar, vice-president; Daniel Marzano, treasurer; Marvin Speidel, secretary; Harmon Field and Miss Grieve, Student Council representatives; John Feeney and John Mineur, Athletic Association representatives. The September group has, as its officers: Edward Skuria, president; Natalie Slack, vice-president; Glynder Fowler, treasurer; Dolores Kunkel, secretary; Ethel Pasvolsky and Richard Weber, Student Council representatives; Jane Farley and Philip Graham, Athletic Association re presentatives. The proudest boast of the class is that the touchdown twins , John Kerr and Daniel MacGregor, who accounted for all of the Panzer football team ' s points this fall, are among its members. Page 22

Folk Dance The Folk Dance Group is one of the most interesting extra-cur- ricular activities of the college (whose membership is now 44 students). The group has become increasmgly popular since the re- turn of our men. Demonstration programs, supplemented by in- formation concerning the origins of the dances, have been pre- sented for various community groups. Modem Dance Composed of twenty women and one man, the Modern Dance Group has brightened up the past year with its splendid perform- ances. This club presented a demonstration in the Christmas Festival, which represented the yuletide spirit, and also helped usher in the Easter holiday by per- forming in the spring ' demonstra- tion. Who ' s Who Who ' s Who Among Students In American Universities and Col- leges, is a national organization whose main purpose is to serve and honor outstanding and de- serving students in the colleges and universities throughout the country, devoid of politics, initia- tion fees and dues. The factors for consideration are character, scholarship, leadership and extra- curricular activities. 24
