THE EAGLE 29 Well, there is one old pal of mine that that I would certainly like to see once more, and that's Lucetta Berndtf' Why, Emery, she is coming to visit us tomorrow. You will have your wish ful- filled. But what is she doing for a living? Did she ever marry Tommy? No, she never married anyone. She is having one grand time of life. Her uncle, who was supposed to be as poor as a Church mouse, died and left her a vast fortune. The first thing she did then was to establish a home for little children. She super- vises it personally, and no child ever had a mother more tender than she is to those poor tots. We have always remained close friends, and it at her request that we named our oldest daughter 'Marion'. Why 'Marion, Estella? She merely told me that her dearest friend was named that. At her childrenks home, there is also a little girl whom she calls 'Marion' She is the sweetest child that I have ever met. Lucetta said it was be-cause her disposition and features were so much like those of her old. friend, that she named her 'Marioni I would like to learn more about this friend, but I am afraid to penetrate further into Lucetta's secrets. And now Emery, I hope you have changed your mind about refusing to be our guest for a couple days? - t'He needn't think he's leaving tonight. He's going to stay right here. Aren't you, Emery? I certainly have-n't much to say about the matter as far as I can see, but I'm not kicking about the decision. This has been the happiest day of my life since 1934. Yes, it has been a happy day for us all, and tomorrow will be but a continuation of this happiness. Far into the night they talked of those dear days of long ago, all unconscious of the fact that in those few brief hours, they had discussed the careers of each individual of that class of '34,

THE EAGLE 31 ACTIVITIES OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of the South Union Township High School came into exis- tence during November, 1932. A list of qualifications had been prepared. by a faculty committee. Ballots, containing the qualifications were given to the students of the various home rooms in order that the best students might be elected to the council, Sixteen of the student body were elected consisting of: FOUR SENIORS: Mary Areford, Burton Fisher, Helen Markovich, Ardenne White. FOUR JUNIORS: Martha Dymond, Charles Bixler, Edwin Warman, Murray White. THREE SOPHOMORESZ William Barnes, Veronica Kollar, Robert Rockwell. FIVE FRESHMEN: Sophia Franczyk, Grace Baker, Jane Robinson, Ned McClue, Joseph Ruper. Two representatives from each home room of the upperclasses and one from each freshman and sophomore room. At the first meeting the members were told the pur- pose of the council a-nd the duties. The election of officers was carried out at the sec- ond meeting. At the time it was not known the length of the term of office but later put forth in the- Constitution. Those elected were: President ......... .... A rdenne White Vice President .... ..... . .Charles Bixler ----Martha Dymond -William Barns Mary Areford -Ned McClure The same council members were retained during the second semester and hence no change was made in the officers. A Constitutional committee was appointed to work out a constitution for the school, but which was not completed until the end of the term. The investigation Com- mittee, the Social Committee, the Athletic Committee and the Assembly Committees were the other standing Committee. Many helpful points were given by the Pt. Marion Council when they met in joint meeting at the South Union High School Council at South Union. Later three representatives from the South Union Council were sent to listen to the Assembly program at Benjamin Franklin Jr. High School. The council of 1932-33 held a few meetings during the last two weeks of August to prepare the Student's Guide for 1933-34 term. . At the beginning of the term it was the wish of the office that the remaining members of the Council serve the first semester and four freshmen be elected. The de- sire was carried out and Jack Bell, Sue Kuchma, Betty Mumaw and Joseph White were elected to represent the freshmen home rooms. The- officers elected were: Secretary ..........

Ned McClure The standing committees were the same as those of the previous semester with the exception of the Committee members. The school Hallowe'en Party was successfully sponsored by the Council. Many clubs were formed after the petitions had been accepted by the Council. In January the election of Council members for the second semester was held. Eight old members were re-elected and eight new members elected. The result was: SENORS-Frank Concilus, Martha Dymond, Edwin Warman, Murray White. JUNIORS-William Barns, Veronica Kollar, Jack McGinty, Clarence Wolfe. SOPHOMORES-Grace Baker, Hazel Mae Gwynne, Allen Reagen, Jane Robinson. FRESHMEN-James Duncan, Sue Kushma, Le-ah Rose Moore, Robert Smith.

Martha Dymond was then elected Secretary and Veronica Kollar, Assistant Secreta1'y. The standing committees were appointed and much progress made. Several amendments were made to the constitution. Many bills were passed including the Exemption Bill. This bill provides that a person having an average of 85 or over in a subject is exempt from tests. It is hoped that the Student Councils in the years to come will be as progressive as those of the past.
