dell; factulty members: J. Ray
Risser. student body adviser; R.
B. '’Peterson, art instructor; and
Pauline '"FTovak, the principal's

members is always small be¬
cause requirements state that
three semesters of college activi¬
ties, one of these outstanding, are
necessary to be considered for
membership.

held at Eaton’s last Friday was
the election of new officers. Ruth
