Probably the main purpose of the council is to serve as a medium of communication between students and faculty. This group tends to preserve and promote the best traditions and ideals of college life. Its powers are both legislative and judicial. Meetings are held throughout the year and the work is carried on through the co-operation of faculty members.

M iriam Thomas YELL LEADERS MEIER PEDRICK GAGE The largest club on the campus at Parsons is the Booster Club, composed of all Boosters. The aim of the Booster Club is to encourage the highest ideals of sports- but all campus activities gain support from the Booster Club. Team 'em up, bust 'em up, fight, team, fight is not an elegant way to say come boys do your best for the school now but it means the same in the vernacular of Boosters. The aim of the Booster Club is to encourage the highest ideals of sports- manship and friendship between competing schools and at home. Pep-meetings are held on the eve of each battle. These arouse the student body and encourage the players. Outside speakers were secured including many local graduates and the president of the Iowa Wesleyan student body. Many were the interesting and informative speeches exhorring us to equal past glories of P. C. The yell-leaders, yelling their lungs out for Parsons were: Rosemoe Gage, Betty Meier, and Willard Pedrick. By the use of many symbolic gestures these lirebrands imparted their fire to players and students.
