to present his credentials to the outgoing Council for approval. The President and the Vice-President of the Student Council must be in their senior
year; they must not participate in football or basketball; they must not hold
any major position on the staff of the Ambrosian News, the Quarterly, or the
Oaks; they must not carry more than fifteen hours of outside work including
Saturday; and, they must not hold any other position which the Council feels
would be detrimental to the office.

to work with their preparations for the annual Homecoming celebration. All
of the projects carried on by the students themselves were directed by at
least one member of the Council. The biggest job was the gathering of wood
for the traditional bonfire. The work took the better part of a month and was
done by the freshmen under the watchful eyes of the upperclassmen. There
were about fifteen teams each composed of fifteen to twenty students and
each with two upperclassmen as captains. The town was completely scoured
for every bit of kindling wood available.
