THE NINETEEN HUNDRED TXYENTY-NINE PASEQN Student Council The most important task that was under- taken by the second semester Student Coun- cil was the campaign for the selling of the Paseons in the home rooms. Each morning, the representatives took the names of those buying Paseons and took the money into the Paseon office. At the end of this cam- paign, the representatives had sold 1300 Paseons. The handbooks were again placed on sale, on account of an increased demand by freshmen and new students. At the begin- ning of the second semester, another cam- paign was launched for the selling of sub- scriptions to the Paseo Press. This was very successful and' was of great aid to the Paseo Press. A resolution was passed to the ef- fect that flowers should be purchased by the entire student body for any student who should pass away during the year. The sec- ond semester officers were president, john Rumseyg vice-president Herbert Roush, secretary, Margaret Duncan, treasurer, Fred Kiel, sergeant-at-arms, Hugh Kuder.
