Because of this, senators and officers were in office for the whole year. When Barbara Hoerauf graduated and three officers resigned, a new cabi- net was elected with the exception of Frank Joyce who remained president. The new officers are vice president Jane Friesner, secretary Anne Crotser, treasurer Becky Lunt and parlimen- tarian Joe Noble ' 19 fs S+..
