The first talk was made by Miss Baker on “Why We Come To Col lege.” She made a survey of the reasons for a student’s presence at at a higher school, and finally sum med up by saying that no matter what the reason, college will help all who attend. | Warren Jones then spoke on "Cheer Leaders.” He suggested that cheer leaders would add pep to the basketball game, thus urg ing the team to victory. How ever, he stated that anew gymn asium would be needed to provide space for these cheer leaders. Alan Richstone discussed the merits of the Ellis Health Law that Mu Zeta Alpha is trying to encourage Carroll county to put into effect. He outlined the law and then read a letter that he had composed for the sqhool to indqi’se to fcetyl to Mr. yhappell, "Commissioner of Roads, in whose hands the fa*te of the measure now rests. The proposal was passed unanimously. In conclusion, Dick Grace spoke of the unfinished tasks that the sophomore class is leaving behind for the Freshmen to finish. “What We Leave Behind Us,” he sug gested, can easily be put into ei fect by an increase in the student activity fee, He moved that they be raised from one dollar to two.
