The first council held 0th until May, 1913, and was largely occupied during that time in problems of organization. The succeeding council consisted of Arthur Hauck, president, Gladys Lowden, vice-president, Jean Wolverton, secretary, Donald Lancefleld, Annie Jordan Harrison and William Boddy. The advisory members wer Juanita Parker and Oscar Koenig. The problems faced by each succeeding council gro more and more complex, but the first constitution, with a few nec- essary amendments, has, on the whole, proved equal to the situation.

Arthur Hauck was re-elected president of this years coun- cil, and Elsa Gill was its vice-president. Edna Acheson was secretary, and the newly created separate offls of tresurer was fild by Glenn Johnson. The other members wer Grace Hays, Francis McCoy, Lowell Bradford, and Mary Brownlie.
