M. S. has since grown to be an integral part of the junior college and now plays an im- portant part in school functions and student government. In the first semester little was done in the way of active participation in campus life. Several meetings were held at which plans for a steak bake, an A. M. S. party, and other activities were discussedg however, interfering functions of other organizations made these impossible. Aid and support was given to a junior college party. Officers for the opening semester were Jerry Williams, president, Gould van Stone, vice-president, John Lavelle, secretary, Charles Simons, treasurer. SECOND SEMESTER PREXY GOULD VAN STONE and Secre- tary Johnny Lavele are chinning over the big prom which is to come off the last part of May. It looks as if they have finally reached a decision as to whether stags are to be admitted or not. Ontinuing their activities in the Note: they werent second semester, the A. M. S. spon- sored a dance held in the gymnasium. Sillfle Jerry Williams, former presi- dent, had been elected to serve as president for the Associated Student Body, Gould van Stone moved up to the vacated position. John Lay-elle and Charles Simons retained their po- sitions as secretary and treasurer. The Associated Men Students, all of .the men in the junior college, While not primarily a political unit carries much weight when the mem- one course of action bers agree on This organization acts as 3 parauel mes as a check to the Asso- and someti 6 Jllnlol college women students.
