fI'V1D+ ACTIVITIES The Student linunlzil THE 1943-44 STUDENT COUNCIL has had for its officers, President, Ken- neth Keehleg Vice-president, Isobel Covert, Secretary, Jack Bradley, Treas- urer, Jack Brockley. Working in cooperation with the P.T.A., the Council has accomplished much in the way of providing entertainment for the boys and girls of Sauquoit Valley. Under the sponsorship of P.T.A., the Council has had complete charge of the various dances held in the school gym. The problem of discipline has been a serious one in our school for several years, and this year we have strived to improve it. We think we are succeed- ing. For those pupils who insist upon chewing gum and coming to class with assignments unprepared, a forty-five minute period of study has been arranged in Room 204, alias Detention llallfl We are happy to say that each night, the occupants of this room become fewer. Girls' Spnrts COLD NOVEMBER WINDS! Sudden snow flurries! No more hikes in the beau- tiful autumn days and no more spirited games of field hockey for the girls of S.V.C. Into the gym they went eagerly, happily, for they were going to have a basketball team this year. Miss Stadler had promised them! A team they had, after long hours of practice-a team consisting of girls like lNIartha Bowee, Dorothy Chynoweth, Shirley Parry, Joyce Castle, Phyllis Ball, lNIidge Speers, Doris Sibley, Phyllis Davies, Anna Mae Hart- zell and Arlene Gutheinz. Afternoons at three-thirty, one might see the girls piling into the station wagon bound for VVaterville, Proctor, New York Mills or New Hartford. At Proctor one day they participated in a play day in which they rated third place. lNIartha Bowee and Shirley Parry were high scorers that day. Now 'tis spring again and the girls are out with softball and bat, bow and arrow, preparing to take part in many more play days. E183
