STUDENT COUNCIL Front row—Steinway, Mcloy, Hoag. Middle—M. Thayer, Harmon, Spccht (pres.), S. Henderson. Back row— M. Anderson, Beaven, A. Barnes, Griffith, Ames, B. Williams. .. of Student Council.. Although we still believe that walking under ladders or passing black cats will bring bad luck, we no longer believe that thirteen is an unlucky number. Wc have thirteen girls on Student Council, but we’re not uneasy about any unfortunate results. They’ve brought us luck: we save our stamp money by using the mail board in Scelye basement; we find the Ark a perfect part of our week-end program; and we don’t have to run to Green Street for that one more cigarette”, because they dreamed up the Fumorium. In addition, they’ve submitted to dining all over campus in order to meet the freshmen and draw them more quickly into our college community; and then, the radio station is yet another stroke of their genius. Not only have these improvements made things easier and more enjoyable, but they’ve unified us as a college, one of the prominent aims of Council this year. So, from now on we’re treating number thirteen as a lucky omen! BETTY SPECHT President of Student Council Page twenty-eight
