BOB KORTE Tromurer GEORGE PICKLE Artiytmlt Trmtrm'm' JIM NASH Cmmdimz HERB BRUECKNER Spmkvr 0f Congreu JERRY EMANUEL Pretridml OFFICERS SpHng'5O Adding to the enjoyable activities of the Spring term, 1950, of the Student Body Association were the many rallies under the supervision of capable President Jerry Emanuel. His first-hand assistant, Vice- President Nancy Erickson, kept her campaign promises by planning the first free dance at night, The Seeing DOlele TurnabOut. Finances were the worries of Treasurer Bob Korte and his assistant, George Pickle. Not only did they encourage sales of Student Body cards; but, they sold book covers, a new service initiated to help us students. Ian Dobson, athletic manager, was busy selling tickets to the basketball, alI-city baseball games, and track meets. Dennis OiMalley helped promote sales and boosted spirit considerably as he energetically did his best to uphold the office of yell leader. Custodian Jim Nash kept the bulletin boards filled with posters and brightly shining trophies, with the aid of Judge Charles Held, who enthusiastically pre- sides at the Student C0urt and takes interest in the judi- cial section of the student government very seriously. One of the many other newly formulated ideas of the term was the Girls' and Boys' COuncils, which help make Poly a happier place.
