Under the capable and unfaltering guidance of President Dick Leftwich, S. C. students saw their student union take major strides toward being what its name would imply. They saw many more movements, of greater and lesser degrees of change, all handled in a careful, straightforward manner and always in accordance with the desires of the constituents. Excellent management of student government affairs apparently came as easily for Dick as does the handling of dishes by the score, which is just a part of his thrice-daily duties as head-waiter at the Smith Dining Hall. To meet Dick is to know him well for his congeniality and brilliance present themselves at the initial conversation and call forth a strong desire to become better acquainted with him. Among the dramatic groups on the campus, the great Leftwichi' is a term which instantly recalls to one's mind the broad sense of humor which Dick possesses. 15-Government DICK LEFTWICH is well known hwiendly smile. f , W1 the waiters and w t sses at the dining hall, his exalted position has earned him the title of Pop, and there again he has evidenced by his management the possession of a keen judgment and a practical view of every situation. To the boys of Holland Hall, the title of Prexy was not new for they had made the wise choice a year previous. Even in that position, his diplomacy has been called forth a time or two in order to maintain peace with the higher-ups. To those who know Dick, this will serve only as a reminder of a few of the accomplishments which Dick might, were it not for his modesty, call his own.

life', from the grade point of view. Mrs. Frances Bourquiu, secretary to the Field Secretary, is unusually capable in performing the daily round of clerical duties. Greatly missed in this particular division of the college is Miss Lois Hill, who, prior to her death, was secretary to the Registrar. Miss Hill, in her quiet unassuming manner, gave many years of unselfish service in this capacity. Her willingness to please and her adept compilation of Official statistics will make her long remembered. Gov't for and by the Students Student Council will now come to or- der. Thus the medium between the student body and the administration begins its weekly Thursday night meeting. Presiding over the council and leading the discussion of current campus problems is Dick Leftwich, president of the student body. It is the duty of the council to regulate student-body enterprises and activities of the organizations. By a vote of the class, four members and two alternates are chosen to represent that class in the Student Council for a term of two semesters. When the alumni returned this year for Homecoming, they found a purple and white neon S C perched on the dome waiting to wel- come them home. Also enjoyed by the alumni were the homecoming assembly, house deco- rations and parade. Socialization of student union, a main factor in the Leftwich for President cam- paign, was partly realized by the purchase of a STUDENT COUNCIL, Row 1-MCNEIL, DII.

Freshmen Aides To be a trustwortliy and understanding friend to those students who see only strange faces is the duty of the personnel counselors. The men's and women's councils each have ten members, and each member acts as an adviser and confidante to the ten or twelve freshmen in his group. With a progressive party to start the year off with plenty of fun for all, and through private council meetings during the year, the freshmen were aided in adjusting themselves to the new life and new friends. The Women's Personnel Council spon- sored numerous events of interest such as the annual brunch, and the spring retreat to discuss worthwhile ways of spending the summer. The high-point of the year, how- ever, was the biennial Mother-Daughter Day, when two hundred mothers spent a day in college. While on the campus, they were guestsgat an afternoon tea and attended the initial performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Princess Ida.

The Menis division of the Personnel Council was also an active group. Under the leadership of Rudolph Martin as president and Dr. W. B. Plum, dean of men, as adviser, the counselors assisted the new boys in finding their way around the campus with added confidence. They, too, held regular meetings to discuss various problems and aided the women in making the mixed parties a big success.
