March 3, 1954 Student Council meeting minutes

Library STUDENT COUNCIL MINUTES 4:00 P.M. Wed. March 3, 1954 The meeting was called to order by the president, Jim Addy, The roll was called and the minutes read with the correction that the poll for the Sweetheart Dance resulted in requests for orchestras in the 2 to 3 thousand dollar bracket, not 4 to 5 thousand bracket. With this correction the minutes were approved. The treasurer's report was given. $ 5.83 was spent for coffee and cookies at the NSA Conference. Deposited were: $ 81.25 - proceeds from Sweetheart Dance 145.30 - receipts from NSA Total disbursements during February were $12,198.02 leaving a balance of $ 6329.04. Jackiw Pfarr read the contract for the senior class's "moonlight" during June Week with the Wilson Line. Five hundred tickets will be reserved at $ 1.25 per ticket. This activity is open to the school and does not involve any SGA money. George moved that we accept the contract; this was seconded and passed unanimously. Pat Karl reported on College Day. After investigation the following information was presented: 1) TOLCHESTER Mon. May 21 or Fri. Mat 24. Cost: $425. plus $25. to have the rides open. Time: 9:30 to 5:30 P.M. Students will have to pay for their own rides. 2) TRIP TO ANNAPOLIS (with a 2 hr. stopover) $ 550. cost 3) MAGO VISTA Cost - $ 41.60 for 6 hrs; $ 49.45 for 9 hrs with the dance hall open.

All day trip - $ 400. 6) GWYNN OAK (same as last year) There were many comments made. One was that if we can't swim that day Mago Vista will offer nothing else. At Carlin's, the roller rink and all rides will be open and free. It was thought that Tolchester and Carlin's were the best possibilities. Dean Pickens made a motion that we accept Tolchester with the provision that we pay the additional amount to have the rides open. George Hohl said we were perhaps limiting ourselves by having to vote for only one place. Therefore Dean recalled teh motion and moved to vote on Tolchester, Gwynn Oak, and Carlin's. The vote was: Tolchester - 32; Gwynn Oak - 2; and Carlin's - 2. College Day will be held at Tolchester. Next Mary Ann Sadler talked on behalf of the FTA. She said that they were trying to reactivate and should be represented at the Eastern States Convention. The FTA are planning a budget request but need $ 50. immediately for E.S.A. Irene Paul moved that we allocate $ 50 to the FTA to send a representative to ESA. This was seconded. George said that we would not be able to support such further activities of organizations. A vote was taken and the motion was carried with Marlene Barrell abstaining. Fred Schwartz presented a very current problem. The new February freshmen have decided to affiliate with the present freshman class. Fred wanted to know two things: 1) Since there are 50 new freshmen the class is entitled to one more representative. Is it correct for the group of 50 to elect its own rep.? 2
