Because of the short year term, the second semester student council didn ' t start any new project but continued the plan of changing the design of the school rings. Both girls and boys were dissatisfied with the old rings and wanted a decided change in them. The girls felt the rings were too large to look nice or to be comfortable. In order that the real opinion of the student body might be expressed, petitions were passed around by the presidents of the homerooms so that each member who wished a change in the rings could sign them. Most favored design suggested was a gold ring with a black onyx setting. Local jewellers were very helpful in making suggestions concerning the new designs. The al contract said the old rings were to be made until after 1938 but the contractors were obliging by saying graduates in June, 1938 could have their rings at the same price but made with the new design after it was decided upon. Home room presidents were urged by Phi Hawelli, president, and Mr. Covert, faculty ad- viser, to report all details to their homerooms and to get the members ' opinion concerning all mat- ters brought up in the student council. The student council, in an effort to maintain the beauty of the school campus, has had con- tainers placed in convenient spots on the schoo grounds. The Pontiac campus is one of the most beautiful in the state. The containers should help to keep it free from waste paper. Second semester officers are: Phil Haweeli president; Mark Fisher, vice-president; Bernice Vance, secretary; Joe Gallardo, treasurer; and Frank Schmidt, sergeant-at-arms. COUNCIL ? c .

To change or not to change the design of the school ring and other emblems has been one of the problems confronting the student council, an organization composed of homeroom presidents. During the first semester the council held a con- test in which students presented original designs. A winner not being selected, the problem was not settled during the semester. Breaking away from school tradition the stu- dent council sponsored, instead of a matinee dance, an evening dance called the Varsity Hop on December 10, 1937. Robert Longpre, president, and Charles Wes- lowski, sergeant-at-arms, attended the Saginaw conference and returned with enthusiasm for a safety-first program in the school. At the begin- ning of the second semester pamphlets were dis- tributed among the student body to carry out the safety project. There was much discussion throughout the se- mester on plans to prevent the rush during the lunch hour, to avoid the disorder during fire drills, and to educate students not to make paths across the campus. This organization is the congress of the school. Through this body students may express their ideas on the school problems and have them carried to the faculty and the administration. The officers were Robert Longpre, president; Chester Givens, vice-president; Esther Anderson, secretary; Claude Hulet, treasurer; Charles Wes- lowski, sergeant-at-arms; Mr. Covert, director.

QUIVER Where ' s the paste? Who ' s got the dummy ? Go get the typewriter! It ' s just a nightly affair in 317, the new meeting place of the Quiver staff. The staff got off on the right foot by tearing up all traditions and starting anew. The yearbook was edited with the idea of getting in step with the progressive trend abroad in other schools today. One of the new ideas adopted this year was the appointment of sophomore assistants to the staff. As a result more experi- enced editors will serve on future staffs. 1 r I Margaret Moore, editor-in-chief, and Donald Cabral, assistant editor were chosen to direct the 1938 Quiver staff. They were assisted by the f ol lowing persons: Dorothy Hitchcock, literary critic editor; Geneva Slaugh- ter, organizations editor; Marguerite Murphy, underclassmen editor; Lorraine Boice, preliminary pages editor; Elizabeth Howard, January class editor; Esther Jewell, assistant January class editor; Eugenia Baldwin, June class editor; Betty Ogden, assistant June class editor; Margaret MacGregor, feature editor; Terry Smith, art editor; Edgar Tucker and Cyrene Broberg, assist- ant art editors; Ronald Loup, photographer; June Peterson, faculty editor; John McCormick, sports editor; Florence Amos, typist. Jack Edmonson, business manager, assisted by Robert Franklin, managed the sales campaign. Joan Lefurgy, Bruce Crittenden, Clara Aris, and Carolyn Hoce- var were junior assistants while Sylvia Forbes, Shirley Kuenzer, and Louie Lawton were sopho- more assistants. Mr. Steffek served his first year as faculty adviser. QUIVER Lawton, Lefurgy, Slaughter, Moore, Murphy, Forbes, Kuenzer, Boice.
