Val Clark, President 1956-57 Our years at Dental School saw a rejuvinated student council become a working body. Duties and purposes of the organization were set down in the form of a constitution, the official copy of which was framed and permanently hung in the library of the School of Dentistry. There are five student body officers, one of which is a Senior Dental Hygienlsf. The president is the pr esiding officer of the student council and also represents the Dental School on the A.S.S.C. Senate of the University ' s student government. Administration of the Student Body and class elections are under the di- rection of the first vice-president. The second vice-president is responsible for the organization and orientation of the first year dental students. A newly created office, the third vice-president, is charged with orientation of first year Dental Hygiene students. The secretary-treasurer keeps ac- count of all financial transactions, handles all correspondence and takes minutes of all meetings. The student council sponsored such activities as the Annual Christmas Dance, a school-wide golf tournament, a Senior Farewell Dance, and orientation programs for sophomores and freshmen. The members of the student council were continually striving to improve student activities and conditions and to further the best interests of the school which they served. if) Bruce Schutte, First Vice-president 1953-54 Roger Riley, Second Vice-president 1955-56 o O O c 13 Don Seivert, Secretary-treasurer 1955-57
