CLASS OFFICERS This year's senior class officers were elected last year by a unanimous vote of the stu- dent body. Acting again as president this year is Ann Laird, under whose guidance the seniors have put in an exciting and interesting year of activities. The two outstanding functions taking place this year under the supervision of the class officers were the Graduation formal and the Christmas formal. Many class meetings were held this year also to discuss pertinent topics of interest to the senior class. The freshman officers were elected at the beginning of this year and have taken part in many functions under the able leadership of Nancy Kaull. The freshman officers worked very diligently to make the Cotton Ball a success. Through the perseverance of Lorraine Ruel, Lois Nickerson, Beverly Morris, and Muriel Troy, the class dues were collected and placed with the profits made at the dances so that a sizeable sum remains in the treasury to be used by next year's classes.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of eight students, five seniors and three freshmen, who meet with Dean Dwyer on the first Monday of the month in Hersey 106. The Senate is composed of a representative from each house and club, depending upon the number of members. Thus, each collegiate organization and house are represented in the Student Association. The council works with the Residence Board and Miss Carter in initiating movements to give every student a well-rounded college program. It acts as a balance wheel between the college administration and the students by discussing and acting upon the sug- gestions of students and faculty. This year the association is under the leadership of Constance King with Ella Gardner, Dorothy Burton, Barbara Davis, Nancy Connors, Joyce Wilson, Joanne Greene, and Janice Hanninger as representatives. They sponsored their annual dance in the spring which was planned in collaboration with Portland Junior College Student Council. The association selected students who have made outstanding contributions to college life to be awarded special honors at graduation. It also compiled the Westbrook Handbook for freshmen.

WOMAN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIGN Since the beginning of the year, the WAA looked forward to and planned their biggest event of the year - the Winter Carnival at WIC. This year's theme Carnival of Musicv was carried out successfully although there was no snow and the queen, Ella Gardner, had a throne of manufactured ice. The royal court consisting of senior girls elected by the students, included Joyce DeGoey, Ann Laird, Jadine Raynes, and Mary Ruddick. Many guests as well as students witnessed the individual house ice skits which were based on popular songs chosen by house members and the day students. First prize went to Lodge for its presentation of the Teddy Bears' Picnic. Whitman and Houghton gained honorable mention for their skating skits of Goofus and The Old Lamp- lighter respectively. House decorations were also based on the chosen song and these were judged because of the lack of snow for sculpturing. Here the first honor went to Houghton while Hersey Hall took honorable mention. A ski boot dance wound up the evening. Saturday the girls and their guests were found enjoying themselves at Tomlinson's Riding School where they participated in sports and had lunch. The main feature of the afternoon was the Varsity-Alumnae basketball game. The climax of this WAA event was the Carnival Ball held at the Eastland Hotel. The WAA Board organizes the athletic life on campus and promotes sports at WIC. Besides the Winter Carnival, they also sponsor annually the May Festival. Members of the Year's board include president, Mary Ruddickg vice-president, Peggy Rochfordg secretary, Ella Gardner, treasurer, Betsy Webber, senior maroon leader, Jeanette Crooker, freshman maroon leader, Jayne Goodwin, senior gray leader, Joyce DeGoeyg and fresh- man gray leader, Charlene Black.
