STUDENT COUNCIL DANCE YES oR NO HE governing power of Pratt Institute is in the hands of the Student Council. This organiza tion is made up of the presidents from the various classes along with representatives from other char tered groups and clubs within the school. The council members can be found every other Monday at 12:30 in room 152, deciding the fate of the many school activities. This in itself is a task, as most of the members are usually suffering from acute indigestion, as the result of eating a quick lunch in an effort to reach the meeting on time. You try to decide the price of Prattonia after a bologna sandwich. Seriously though the Council has proven itself to be a great worth to the Insti- tute and deserves recognition for all its endeavors. Toh

ANU AUWVISORY BOARD HIS year the book got off to a late start for it was not until late in January that the Student Council made its selections for the yearbook 's staff. Mr. Petersen, one of the faculty advisors, had taken care of photographing the seniors so that when we started this headache was past. Bill Keppler, last year's editor, was re-elected to the position he held last year, while Nat Champlain, and Joseph Caroff were elected Photo Editor, and Act Editor respectively. Once this nucleus had been formed things started to hum and it wasnt long before the entire staff had been selected. The line-up for this year (so that you students can find out who is responsible for what and take care of him or her ac- cordingly) is as follows: Faculty Advisors: Mr. Petersen, Chairman; Mr. Millard, Miss Duntz, and Mr. Mc- Kenzie, Bill Keppler, I-ditor-in-Chief; Nat Champlain, Photo Editor; Joe Caroff, Art Editor; Eugene Brzezowski, Business Manager; Lois Heist, Literary Editor; Stella Domeszowski, Social Editor; Dick Sullivan, Literary Editor; John Veasey, Sports Editor.

| riweraee LEONARD NIESE called the first meeting of the Council on Sept. 28. From that date on the body was concerned mainly with the Fall Festival which was under the leadership of Warren Sambach. In her minutes, Ruth Var- varo made the notation that the affair was a huge success. During the absence of Len from any of he meetings an able Vice-President, Janet Shoe- maker, took over the proceedings. The Tuesday afternoon dance situation took a ot of the Council’s time this year, and much was done to improve the situation. Several girls, in- ( luding the candidates for May Queen, were asked 0 appear at the dances and act as hostesses. This idea worked miracles, and a disappearing stag line was the result This yea canned music was used. a = = = = —s — Another feature which was carried over from last year was popular pep-rallies. Here the stu- dents were led in cheers by the cheerleaders, and they met each member of the team. These rallies played a large part in bolstering our basketball team s morale. The Men's Club acted as a host for the Coun- cil’s party. lt was a new idea, and it is being car- ried on the books as a date for next year. The female members of the Council had quite a time bowling and shooting pool, and a good time was had by all. In closing the Council wishes to thank the Student Body and members of the Faculty for the cooperation which they received this year.
