The Student Council, headed by Big Bill Long and as- sisted by Dean Skeet' Nicholson in the roles of president and vice president respectively, has accomplished much in the way of providing a well-rounded college program. Recognizing the need for more school spirit and a new pep organization to back the team, the first major undertaking of this group was the organization of the Buck and Doe Clubs last fall. Roland Welch, faculty advisor of the Student Council, also took on the sponsorship of the Buck Club, the pep organ- ization for men. Remember, he was the first to sport the or- gemization's hat of gold corduroy, trimmed with a blue Buck hat band. Homecoming was the next event which called for their planning and direction. Along with the afternoon football game they sponsored a parade down Central Avenue which proved to be the biggest and best in the history of the school. They also offered prizes to the oraanization that could set up the best campus display depicting the victory of the Kearney Antelopes over the Wayne Wildcats. A Homecoming Queen was coronated at the dance that evening, and the Student Council presented her with a football necklace. Numerous other dances highlighted the year because of the council's sponsorship. Dances followed football games for collegiates who sought entertainment after the game, and on those few Friday nights when nothing else was going on, the council again invited students to an all-college dance in the gym. For those who liked to follow the team, the council chartered buses, so the student body could watch the team play on the opponent's field. Sadie Hawkins' week has become an annual social event on our campus because of the council’s sponsorship. For one week all smokes, cokes, and coffee were furnished by the girls, and it all ended in a Dogpatch dance, where prizes were awarded for the best costumes of the evening. There was no one to operate the Campus Cave this year, so again the student council members added one more re- sponsibility to their list, Big Bill Long and Dick Hock did the actual behind-the counter work. More planning was necessary on the part of the Student Council when army surplus buildings were moved onto the campus to serve as a temporary student union. It was up to them to decide just how the space would be utilized. At their meetings on Monday evenings at 5:15, the council often got into heated arguments and debates, but always seemed to present new and better ideas for improving our college. ie 24 Paqe 25

Whether the announcement was a dance, a pep rally, or a convc, Bill Long was explaining the whole deal. Council members met inlormally every Monday evening to conduct numerous items of business.

B. F STUTHEIT The guardians oj seven hundred stu- dents are kept extremely busy, answer- ing phone calls, sending notices, writing letters, and a hundred other duties that seem to fit themselves to the term dean. The sponsorship of men's and wo- men's league, as well as their respective councils, also occupied the thoughts of both Miss Robinson and Mr. Stutheit, as they planned interesting programs for the members.
