STUDENT COUNCIL is I. To bring about greater cooperation between the students and faculty is the chief aim of the Ponce de Leon Student Council. The council represents the opinions and objectives of the student body, and also provides training in self-government through representatives for every student in school. The office of president was capably filled the first semester by Willoughby Cox, who was suc- ceeded by his equally successful vice-president, Hank Beebe. With the exception of the new vice- president, Nancy C-ramley, the excutive officers remained practically unchanged. They were: secretary of state, Bill Creeneg secretary of fi- nance, Bob Bryan, secretary of the interior, Dick Baker, recording secretary, Martha Upshawg cor- responding secretary, Patty Allen, secretary of defense, lack Bennett. Among the more important accomplishments of the year are such projects as giving financial aid and other aid to clubs, sponsoring campus clean- ups, holding dances at third lunch, and organizing a drive through the club representatives to finance a motion picture projector.
