One of the winners, the team of Jerrilou and Sally .lc let go on Sweet Old Fashioned Girl at the Talent Show. Student Council has fulfilled its purpose in a fuller sense this year than it has ever been known to before. The council mem- bers able co-operated with the program set for them by president John Huffman who was largely responsible for the tremendous success of the activities. A well-planned student-faculty Reception was held in the vestry early in the Fall. We were able to meet the nine new teachers and become better acquainted with them. 1 f ll Gnganigation in activities oniginatacll with Larry Grupp, running for President, said that instead of promising a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot if elected, he promised that the cars would go to pot and the chickens in garages. He also promised he would make a new farm program and send it out. His socialists new third party did not win, but it certainly made us all laugh. The Fund Drive was kicked off by an assembly that spurred so much enthusiasm among us all, that the Advisory Committee offered to double whatever we collected. The total came to an amazing 52,200. The seniors won on the basis of class competi- tion. The purpose of the drive was to ac- quire funds for the improvement of class- rooms, and for better activities. The present program set in motion provides for the improvement of one class room a year. The Harvest Reverse Party was held in the gym on a Friday night. A circle of bales of hay, corn stalks, and pumpkins provided a fitting setting. We had apple cider and doughnuts after the many games.

Mr. McGhee soon enters medical school to become a missionary doctor. Qciaune time. For years the girls' dorm councils have con- sidered the possibilities of having a kitchen for the dormitory. This year's council, working with the Mother's Auxiliary headed by Mrs. McCart- ney, has successfully laid and carried out plans, and the result is the old laundry-room trans- formed into an attractive yellow kitchen with a new refrigerator, sink, range, and table and chair set. Thanks to Mr. J., there is plenty of cupboard space, and a shower from the mothers filled the shelves with food and all the neces- sary cooking equipment. Another addition which all enjoyed was a television set in the East Lounge. In the first semester the girls went to Don and Angies' for a Pizza Party, and every month there were hamburger and malt parties. This Christmas, two children from ci needy home were again invited and complete outfits bought for them, but at the time they seemed to enioy the toys more. This was followed with carol singing, devotions, and refreshments. For the Spring Party the girls invited boys to attend a concert given by the College Men's Glee Club. The evening was finished with a time of fellow- ship, and a big serving of strawberry short- cake. Thanks go to the council and Miss Springer for an interesting and well-planned year. 4 ml L rt 5 ., '14 .' 4 ':1'? .Q . :,.Q-t A4 , g -0. .sl-,px Sherry, Corrie, and Faith enjoy the new kitchen. :wig :i 14' facilities of the brand I I In 5 -is 77
