Women Rule
PHS Students
A powerful campaign speech at
last Thursday's pre-election rally
in the Palmer Gymnasium won
the presidency of the Palmer Stu
dent Council for Helen Mae Sten
vall. Miss Stenvall defeated Henry
Anderson for the post.
A nearly all-female cabinet will
help her guide the destinies of
student body recreation this year.
Assisting President Stenvall are:
Edison Thuma. vice-president;
Marilyn Harris, secretary; Roberta
Hemmer, treasurer.
Miss Harris was a dark-horse
candidate for the position of sec
retary, her name being added to
the ballot by petition just before
the campaign’s conclusion.
The first job of the newly or
ganized student council is the
planning of the Hallowe'en Carni
val presented annually by the stu
dent body of Palmer High School.
This year's Carnival will be sched
uled for the twenty-ninth, since
the thirtieth falls on Sunday.
A Carnival committee is already
at work on preliminary plans. De
tails will be announced in the near
future, it is promised.

filed this week with U. S. Commis
sioner Dorothy Saxton by Miss
Myrtle Richards of Palmer and

at press time.

Local Teachers
Organize
A professional organization, the
Palmer Teachers’ Association, re
cently was activated among the
teachers of Palmer School. It is
the hope of the group to affiliate
with the National Education As
sociation. /
Purpose for the organization was
to weld the teachers into a more
unified group, a spokesman ex

medium through which they can
meet and talk with the community.
Officers named at the first meet
ing included:
Robert Crites, president; Mrs.
Carolyn Miller, vice-president;
Mrs. Margaret Cope, secretary;
Miss Wilhelmina Luebke, treas
urer.

to the entire membership at a
forthcoming meeting of the as
sociation.
