Leland Gardner, Bob Gnau, Nettie Hall, Imogene Magness, Mildred Yoakum, Dick Patrick, Lawrence Fuller. For the second time in the history of N.Y.C.U.H.S. a girl has held the office of student body president. This year this high office was held by Imogene Magness. Dick Patrick was elected the able-bodied vice- president and Mildred Yoakum served as secretary-treasurer. The remainder of the student council was composed of Bob Gnau, Senior president; Nettie Hall, Junior head; Leland Gardner, Sophomore prexy; and the Freshmen chose Dick Roberts as their first president, followed by Betty Salman, George Berrier and Lawrence Fuller, respectively. These seven students did much during their term of office to improve the school. They were respon- sible for orderly school dances; they insisted that team members possess good conduct while away from home; all calendar dates for school dances were approved by the student council. The council has the authority to originate and pass laws governing the students when they see fit. N.Y.C.U.H.S. was represented at the Annual State Student Body Convention, held at Tolleson, Arizona, by Imogene Magness, Dick Patrick and Mildred Yoakum. These three delegates returned home with new ideas to aid our student government. We hope the students that take office next year will be as efficient and sincere as the students who will leave office at the end of the 1943-1944 school year.

LU ind thi Slanding: Miss Kinman, Dave Babbitt, Leland Gardner, Mildred Yoakum, Jacquelin Wilbanks, Leoda Wallace, Bernice Cornell, Cora Ellen Simms, Gene Anderson, Tipton Benjamin. Seated: Cathreen Hayes, Nettie Hall, Winna Mae Barrett. The students of N.Y.C.U.H.S. were greeted with the first addition of the renowned Loudspeaker only one week after the opening of school. This six-page masterpiece was written and edited, under the supervision of Mr. Hanley, through the combined efforts of the editor, Nettie Hall; Assistant Editor, Cath- erine Hayes, and Chief Typist, Winna Mae Barrett. Its second appearance followed three short weeks later. Previous to this edition an eager group of students consists of two Seniors, Bill Empie and Mildred Yoakum; three Juniors, Nettie Hall, Catherine Hayes and Winna Mae Barrett; four Sophomores, Leland Gardner, Dave Babbitt, Jackie Wilbanks and Tipton Benjamin; and three Freshmen, Cora Ellen Simms, Bernice Cornell and Leoda Wallace, had been chosen to act as the entire paper staff the ensuing year. Upon the arrival of Miss Bailey, the Loudspeaker acquired a new and able sponsor. Under her advisorship, three well-organized papers were issued. During this period of time the Loudspeaker's pleas for talented writers produced Gene Anderson, who became our star reporter, replacing Bill Empie as sports editor. After the sixth edition of this ill-fated newspaper Miss Bailey was forced to retire for her health, leaving the Loudspeaker sans sponsor. However, Mr. Hanley dashed to the rescue and again became faculty advisor. He was relieved by Miss Kinman in a short time. She was found to have a great deal of helpful knowledge along journalistic lines. In spite of all obstacles placed in their path, the staff of the Loudspeaker throughout this memorable school year of '43 and '44, have undauntedly applied their energy, effort, and for their diligent work, were highly praised and their paper termed all-in-all highly successful.
